Donald Jackson,California Republican—"“South Korea is a Bataan without a Corregidor, a Dunkerque without a flotilla dead-end street without an escape Rep. John M.

This (Korean Aid) is absolutely ‘oper- ation rathole’ It will be said, of course, that this is demagoguery, but if that be demagoguery, make the most of it. Statement that Congressman Nixon would like to have forgotten One of the few who vigorously championed aid to Korea when the ; House first voted against it last] January was Corgresswoman Hrlhn!

Is it worth the ‘gamble or not? ‘Tt seems to me very emphatically that it is.” GOP Congressman Nixon, on the other hand, voted against Korean id, now claims Mrs. Douglas Senator McCarthy pro-Red. week hurled his usual barrage of vitriol at the State Department Jaxmmg that Reds were in charge of its Korean policy, he overlooksd one thing. The man in charge of the State Department’s Korean desk happens to be a member of McCarthy's own party. Furthermore, his Republic- } an antecedents are far more dls-} tinguished and more conseryative than those of the senator from [Wisconsin. ~ The Korean expert in l i being too is ‘When question is Harry’ Frelinghuysen, | only show Russla as absent and[. son of the former Republican sen- ator from New Jersey, and one of the oldest families in that state Far from being a Communisi, young Frelinghuysen: still remains a2 member of the Republican party hough he believes in giving hi best to his country whatever ministration is in office. Servin in the U. S.

SOKOLSKY ARE WE AGGRESSORS? The Russians take the position that the United States is the ag- gressor in the Korean war becausa the United States, as a foreign nation, intervened in a civil war involving Koreans, north and south. The Russians maintain that as there are no Russian troops in| Korea, Soviet Russia is not involved and is therefore not only not the | aggressor, but could even be re- arded as strictly neutral Two fallaci are involved in this position which require exam- | ination: 1.

Had Russia attended the sesslon authorizing this action, her repre- sentative might have employed the veto, thus making the protection. of Korea by the United Nations illegal Soviet Russia, however, chose to boycott this session of the Security Council, as she has, for six months, boycotted all activities of the Uni= ted Nations, A boycott is not al veto; therefore, the record can| taking ‘no position.

This | is a fundamental Russian attitude | involving the Marxian a xumpthn of the world revolution, which is actively propagated at all times, even in such a body as the United Nations. If the United Nations submitted | to this Russian point of view, it would soon have to cease to exist, for it would then be nothing more than the instrument of the policy | of one nation. Trygve Lie's at- tempted appeasement of Russia | failed, because he refused to recog- | nize the Russian position that it | would not submit to a majorily vote. The Russian fallacy lies then in its sumption that the United | Nations is an instrument of policy | and cannot act without its consent, \ | Teh rejection of this view by most of the other member states | and their participation in the Kur-; ean war cannot make them ag-| gressors.
