eshingion Clinger — = — Defeat In Korea World-Wide Blow ‘To Red Regime
Evidence Grows of Mounting
. Unrest in Communist Nations By The Seripps-Howard Newspapers
WASHINGTON, Oct.
14 — It's not just another
- victory in Korea. It may have been the turning point : in world affairs. —DUI North Koreans
invaded south, our only
victories in program for containing communism had been in Europe. We'd flopped dismally in Asia. ~ But now we've shown we can win in Asia, too, ‘when we try. Result is planing setback to Commies—-
worldwide.
Theory behind State Departmeil containment program is that Communist dictatorship has to be constantly on the move, expanding toward domination, in
order to survive,
Reds in democratic countries have to keep feeling that sometime soon—maybe next year—they'll be in the saddle.
Right after World War II, Russia made big gains in
Europe. Then came the biggest gain of all,
in China, where
we failed to furnish real help. After our attitude stiffened in Europe, every program started by our side worked. Reds Jost one election after another. Yugoslavia slipped out from behind
the curtain. Then came Korea and communism had to step back. - And evidence grows.that all fs not well in Communist countries, Frequent purges in Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria indicate internal unrest, Even Stalin may be in trouble, some State Department and Pentagon sources hopefully believe, Reports of troubie in Communist countries are sketchy, but are more frequent. Guerrillas still operate in western Ukraine. Biggest danger: That Stalin, faced with increased pressure on all sides, might risk everything on a war. » s ”
‘Aid to Indo-China
INDO-CHINA will get the lion's share of $500 million U. §. military aid earmarked for Far Eastern areas, since Commies are making their current try for gains in that country. Actual figures are secret, but $200 million is good guess. We've already shipped about $30 million worth of military equipment to Indo-China since start of Korean War, Included: 18 LCVPS and other naval auxiliary craft; six 158 - foot gupport landing craft; eight C47 transport planes; 40 Navy ¥-6-F fighters; jeeps, command cars and trucks; rifles and other small arms and ammunition. Deliveries have been speeded
up. too, since recent decision .
giving Indo- China top priority over other Far Eastern countries. Note: U. 8, troops In Korea can stop worrying about being sent to Indo-China, Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of Joint Chiefs, says’ repeatedly he doesn’t ‘want | American soldiers “mixed up in that business,” It's a French show. Incidentally, French expenditures in IndoChinese war have exactly matched their Marshall Plan funds—S$2 billion.

to stop aggression by Germany, Italy and Japan. He lost. ! Now, in 1950, Andrei Vishin= sky, Russia's foreign minister, argues against the American plan for arming the United Nations, the League's succes- " sor, to put down aggression. The United States wants the General Assembly of the United Nations to control the international army. But Mr. Vishinsky insists that it be put under the command of the Security Council. The big point is, Russia could veto action by the Council. But it couldn’t in the General Assembly, which could act upon majority vote. Rallies Free World The Russians argue that the American plan undermines the whole structure of the United Nations. At any rate, the Russians’ action in Korea has rallied the whole free world, And that's something. Adoption of the American plan, ably presented by John Foster Dulles, should mark a turning point in world affairs, for collective security along these lines may be dccomplished soon over Soviet Russia’s loud protests. The arguments by Mr. Vishinsky have united the free nations in favor of it. His insistence that the General Assembly has no right to act after the Security Council has vetoed a proposal to put down aggression has strengthened the nations that want collective security. By a curious turn of events, Mr. Vishinsky is arguing against the measures Mr. Litvinov favored. Same Nonsense On Sept 10, 1937, Mr. Litvinov, waving his arms and shouting at the top of his voice before a League meeting in Geneva, denounced aggression and the League's failure to take action. At a later meeting he declared: “Between agrression and nonaggression, between peace and war, there can be no synthesis. Parrots in high .places should be told that nonsense repeated day by day, does not cease to be nonsense.” Members of the United Nations now engaged successfully in putting down the Korean aggressors could use the same words with equal force in replying to Mr. Vishinsky’s arguments and his claim that they are the aggressors. This nonsense repeated constantly since Jakob Malik returned to the United Nations after a long absence, does not cease to be nonsense, Listening to Mr. Vishinsky as he argues at Lake Success and reading his pleas before the United Nations commissions leads to the suspicion that he is well aware of the change in his nation's position. _UN on the Move Today, the United Nations is moving forward. Adoption of the American proposal to evade the veto power of the Security Council
Next in line, after Korea, for U. S. war stocks is Indo-
China. Washington revealed yesterday that

and to set up an armed force capable of instant action, will create the defense so earnestly desired by Russia in 1937. In fact. Russia will become one of the greatest beneficiaries under the new methods of dealing with aggression if she is not the aggressor. As a direct result of Russia's action in Korea, the world may profit by having a sure means of dealing with lawless nations and again, as in the case of Jakob Malik, the free peoples can say: “Thank you, Mr. Vishinsky for uniting us.”
United Nations
JOHN FOSTER DULLES declared yesterday that if Russia wants the Western nations to drop their “get tough’ policies, the Soviets should first show by deeds and not words that they are willing to cooperate. , Mr. Dulles, Republican adviser to the U. 8. State Department made this statement in reply to a plea from Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky before the United Nations Political Committee Friday, calling upon the Western
nations to restore the wartime -
spirit of with Russia. In a global sweep at Soviet post-war actions, Mr. Dulles told a press conference that Russia could prove her good intentions immediately by, negotiating treaties on Germany and Austria and calling off hostilities in Korea. Mr. Dulles spoke after submitting a
co-operation
shortly revised
draft resolution in co-opera-tion with six other nations empowering the General Assembly to earmark troops to halt aggression in. case Security Council action is preventéd by a veto. Mr, Dulles was asked whether the United States could again contribute United Nations troops to halt aggression as it did in Korea, without further constitutional authority to do so. Mr. Dulles said a “powerful precedent” had been established by the immediate dispatch of American tfoops to Korea. The question was academic before June,” he said. “Events have given the answer.”
Indo-China
THE United States plans to shift substantial numbers of planes, artillery, and other weapons from Korea to IndoChina as soon as possible, U. 8. officials disclosed today. These officials also reported that in the.last few days the United States has boosted arms shipments to Indo-China to world priority No. 2. Korea still has. first call. No Ameri-
. can troops or airmen will take
over combat roles in IndoChina. Diplomatic and defense officials said specific American plans to funnel more aid to Indo-China were communicated to French defense Minister Jules Moch and French Finance Chief Maurice Petesche by Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Defense Secretary George C. Marshall.

East Germany
SOME 12 million East Germans got their first taste of a Russian style election today (Sunday) when they marched in ranks to the polls to cast public ballots, a manipulation that makes a ‘‘fixed” horse race look honest by comparison. Acting on last minute Soviet instructions to bar the slightest possibility of opposition, Communist ‘election officials fell back on the tried Red maneuver which does away with the secret ballot and makes it almost impossible to cast a vote against the party's candidates. Thousands of workers in factories marched en masse to the polls behind bands. Other thousands more marshalled in residential districts for parades. They voted in a body At an appropriate time the Communist East German government is expected to announce that 95 per cent of the electorate approved the ticket, To make the procedure more palatable, the Communists injected a new theme— peace on the eve of the voting. “We want to support peace openly, nobody should be afraid ,to cast his ballot for peace,” Red propagandists shouted in explaining why the secret ballot had been abolished, The election will complete the sovietization of east Germany as a Russian satellite.
