However, mistakes are sometimes rectified chiefly through knowing about them, and a case in pumL is the magnificent manner in which Gen. Matthew Ridgway has profited from the mistakes of General Mac- Arthur in turning a tragic defeat into Korean victory. ‘While the very loyal MacArthur cligue may argue that he is still supreme commander in TFokyo, and therefore deserves credit for the current victory, the indisputable facts are that General Ridgway was sent to Korea direct from Washington where he had been deputy chief of staff and as such was in close contact with the Pen- tagon’s views of warfare. It also is an indisputable fact that Ridg-| way won his victory with no x.ewl fresh troops and facing a some- what stronger enemy than Mac- Arthur.

Info Aggression Tool Feb. 17—(M— Prime aid last night that war is not inevitable—“at least for the present”—but charged the United States with turning the UN into a tool of aggression. In his first major foreign policy statement in two years the Tl-year- )ld Soviet leader predicted the Kor- ean war would end in defeat.of American forces, unless Washington and London accept peace terms laid down by Communist China. He denouced the United Nations resolution labelling ~ Communi: China an aggressor as “d aceful” and predicted the UN's downfall. | | MOSCOW, Minister Stalin e d Charges He declared: “The United Nations orga is therefore taking the inglorious road of the League of Nations, In this way it is burying its moral prestige and dooming itself to dis- integration.” Stalin charged that the UN was not proportionally representative of [world populations and had becomne {“not as much a world organization as an organization for the Ameri- cans, an organization acting on be- half of the requirements of the American aggressors.” He said American ,GIs fought brilliantly and oflccuvo!y in defeat- ing Germany and Japan, but that they were losing on Korean battle- fields because they had no faith in in | their cause. ation Interview Stalin used the Communist news- paper Pravda as the vehicle for his pronouncements adopting the fa- i miliar pattern of questions and answers in a newspaper interview. The broadside from the Kremlin was in direct reply to a recent House of Commons statement by British {Prime Minister Attiee to the effect that after the end of World War II the Soviet Union did not disarm. Stalin castigated the statement as “a slander against the Soviet Un- ion.” st 1 d it in charged that the Socialist jovernment of Britain was not in favor of péace “but of unleashing & new aggressive World War” in con- cert with the United States. 19 TRAVEL WITH PAA IN ARD OUT FRIDAY Twenty-nine passengers flew in md out of Juneau yesterday via Pan American World Airways with Ill from Seattle, four for Annette, and 14 southbound. .
