Note To Stalin:
By HARRY FERGUSON, United Press Foreign News Editor To Americans today is Aug. 14 and just another Monday. But to the Korean Communists this is Tuesday, Aug. 15 and a day of bitter disappointment. ! This was the day they had fixed to celebrate the eonquest of Korea. 5
Their time-table called for a seven-week war. It
ealled for them to sweep down across the 38th Parallel,
demoralize the South Korean forces quickly, push on to
Pusan and then sit back to enjoy the fruits of victory.

last “foreign devil” either would be dead or fleeing by plane and ship to his own land.
The Communist time-table was drawn up with great
skill. It correctly diagnosed the strength—or rather
weakness—of the South Korean army, a force that had
no tanks, few planes, little artillery and, in fact, was nothing but a group of policenen equipped with light arms. Had things gone the way they were expected to go,
the Communists would not have needed seven weeks. A
month would have been plenty. ~~ The Communist miscalculation, of course, was the temper of the American people and a misguided belief
that the United Nations was incapable of quick and
decisive action. —
The Kremlin was so overconfident that it allowed Jacob Malik to sulk-eutside the United Nations Security Council while the non-Communist nations took quick action to condemn the Korean aggression and vote to oppose it ‘with armed force. The intervention of the United States and the United Nations threw the Communist time-table off balance. “Mr. Malik hurried ‘back to the United Nations to be available to throw in a veto at a signal from the Kremlin. The Korean Communists began calling up reserves. : More weapons # poiired into North Korea from the nerth, and one day the Americans picked up an enemy shell that obviously was manufactured in Russia in 1950. It would not be correct to say that America has won
a victory by upsetting the Communist: time- table. That would be cold consolation to the GIs in the fox-holes along the Naktong River. _. =~ + But we have denied a vietory to the enemy, and some Communist official is going to have to do some tall explaining to the people why Aug. 15 came and went and American bombs were. still falling on their heads. % A broadcast on the North Korean radio says the Communists are going through the motions of a celebration today. They are announcing that the Red capital will be moved from Pyongyang to Seoul in South Korea. But apparently it won't be much of a celebration. Sort © of like a birthday. panty without any cake: £5,
