No longer possible to ignore China ~ -Manking “9 Tedy, ' make in peace’ settlements, says Malenkov MOSCOW Prime Minister Georgi Malenkov declared here that United States ruling circles were not striving to strengthen the Korean armistice and a further step toward a final peaceful settlement. The Soviet premier was speaking at a Kremlin dinner held on September 19 for dele- Stes from the Korean Democratic People’s Republic after ‘terms of the Soviet-aid agreement for reconstruction were announced. He said that it was now time to scrap the policy which assumes it might be possible to decide questions of peace without China. ~ Condemning U.S. opposition’ to including India and other Asian countries in the political conference, he said the U.S. plan to go on using South Korea as a military springboard ran counter to the needs of a peaceful settlement. ce it possible to find in our A an American who would say hen the decision of the 13 col- aie North.

MALENKOV “Only people who disr can reduce their foreign po suppor? of precisely those individuals an egard what is going on in the world licy in countri¢s of the East to the d groups who embody all thai is backward, corrupt and rotten.” the question of the composition and method of work of the politi- cal conference, the holding of which is provided for in the Korean _ armistice agreement, arouses legitimate condemnation by the peace-loving forces. “As a result of this position India, ,as well as certain other Asian states—though there should be no doubt about their participa- tion at the conference—have been left outside.” Malenkov said this showed US. ruling circles were not striving to strengthen the armistice which had been achieved in,Korea and “to make a further step toward the final, peaceful settlement of the Korean question. “The greater therefore becomes the responsibility of all peace-lov- ing forces. i “They can and must turn the truce in Korea into an impetus for new efforts aimed at fur- ther Casing the international tension throughout the world, including in the’ East.” He pointed out that “for many decades the struggle of imperial- ist groups for domination in China has created a particular tension of international relations in the East.” But “now the ChineSe People’s Republic appears in Asia and the Pacific as a mighty stabilising factor’ — and was pursuing her own independent policy. “Clearly, in the present-day international situation, any cal- culations on the possibility of any isolation of the Chinese Peo- ple’s Republic signify nothing other that the reactionary Utopia of a people who have turned their backs on life and who have lost their sense of reality,” he declared. “Is it not time to file into the archives that policy which, in op- position to common sense and the exigincies of historic inevitability, proceeds from the fact that alleg- edly it might be possible at the present time to decide, without great China, questions which re late to the establishment of peace between the nations. “The indestructible friendship of the peace-loving Soviet Union and the peace-loving Chinese Peo- ple’s Republic serves as a mighty bulwark of peace. —— “Phat is why this friendship is acclaimed by all nations, who con- sider it to be one of the primary conditions for strengthening peace between the nations.” ; Developing under the sign of peace and strengthening of secur- ity in the East, all the countries of Asia and the basin of the Pa- ‘cific Ocean would receive full op- portunities for peaceful economic links both among themselves and with other parts of the world. Malenkov said that the Soviet Union would in every way help North Korea to heal her wounds. He expressed his conviction _that Korea would soon achieve “‘com- plete peace.” Council of STRASBOURG The Council of Europe has warn- -|ed its 15 countries they are threat- ened by an economic slump and ordered its economic experts to lay plans to. deal with unemploy- ment. The council’s assembly passed a resolution last week warning that a trade recession might hit west- ern Europe in the next few years. It instructed the 15-nation org- anization for European economic cooperation to draw up a plan for ‘counteracting unemployment. Prepare for slump, Kurope warns its members The resolution said “the econ- omic climate of the world is chang- ing” and cited these danger signs: 1—Many food and raw material prices “have begun to show a re- cession.” 2—Trade competition between industrial nations “‘is converting a sellers’ into a buyers’ market.”. @ in Paris, the North Atlantic Council, governing body of NATO, announced plans to pro- duce a billion dollars worth of ammunition in Western Europe. | NEW DELHI A united front of democratic groups led by the Communist par- ty has defeated the Congress party government in Travancore, Cochin State, South India, and displaced it from office. Immediate cause of the defeat was the defection from the Con- gress party of a group represent- ing a linguistic minority. When the Congress party moved a vote of confidence in the legis- lature, 51 members voted.in favor and 56 against—the entire opposi- United front deteats Congress state gov't tion including 37 members of the united front. T. V. Thomas, Communist leader of the united front opposition, ask- ed leave to form a ministry. - The head of state thereupon dis- solved the legislature and install- ed the defeated Congress ministers as a caretaker government until new elections are held. This is the first time in Travan- core that the Congress ministry has been defeated by a united democratic front. The Communists have called for the formation of an all-party ministry. to prepare the elections. COPENHAGEN The Communist party gained one seat in the Danish. election, the result of which was announced here last week. There are now eight Danish Communist MP’s, as against seven in. the 1950 election. : A new party, the Independents, including .among its members many former Nazis and collabora- tors, had boasted that it would win five seats, but it failed to elect a single member. The. election followed abolition of the Upper House of the Danish parliament. In the new single chamber there are 175. seats against the former 149, the Com- munist party maintaining its posi- tion proportionally both in the number of seats and votes. The Social Democratic . panty, which opposes stationing of NATO forces in Denmark, was returned as the largést party with 74 seats against a total of 72 for the two parties of the government “— the Farmers’ party and the Conserva- tives. It immediately demanded that the government resign. The government rejected that demand, but this week, facing certain de- feat on a vote of censure, offered Eight Communist MPs in new Danish House its resignation. The Social Democrats also had a lead of two in the previous par- liament. A new Farmers and Conserva- tive government could not be stable unless it secured the sup- port of the Radical party, which has 14 seats. Since the Radical party stands for arms cuts and for looser links with NATO, the election means that Danish policy toward NATO will be cooler whatever the gov- ernment. S. H.
