our part” if the Russian proposal is genuine. :

Malik, chief Soviet United Nations delegate, on the eve of the first ‘anniversary of the North Korean aggression. es | The American reply appeared to challenge the Soviet diplomat to
‘put his offer formally before the United Nations or the American deles gation here. if The Kremlin peace bid pro= posed that an armistice pro= vide for withdrawal of ‘rival a armies from the 38th Parallel, It went further than any previous official Communist peace offer by failing to attach conditions for a halt in the Korean conflict. She In previous offers, the last which was made five long months ago, the Communists have insisted that a cease-fire be tied in with agreement to open nego= tiations subsequently on Fore mosa and admission of Commu nist China to the United Nations,
