come across children picking flowers and leaves, carefully
putting them in envelopes along with some of the soil.

“Oh, no,” the kids might say to you.
We're prospecting for minerals.

Maybe you'd get away
from there fast. Who ever
heard of picking flowers to
find ore? Fact is, thousands
of Soviet people, young and
old, explore for valuable
minerals by picking wild
plants and collecting soil
samples.

They study a new science °

called ‘Geochemical Pros-
pecting”. Soviet scientists
discovered this fascinating
method years ago. It is the
most advanced in the world.
Today U.S. mining companies
are working day and night
to imitate the Soviet method.

While I was in the Soviet
Union the U.S. government
paper, Geological Survey,
published a translation of
Soviet articles on this new
Way to find minerals. The
book was quickly sold out.
Here is a priceless discovery,
Which the Soviet Union made
freely available to all coun-
tries. And not a word in
Our newspapers.

In the Soviet Union I was
taken to no less than five
big cénters where research
of greatest importance was

Scientist, to say nothing of
a foreigner, would find it

government admits.

The military action of General

The operations of the armed
forces in Korea are led, as is
known, not under the orders of
Some police officer, but under the

But it would be absurd to admit
that the commander in chief of
the United States forces in Japan,

cArthur, directs in Korea not
Military operations but some
“Police action.”

Who will believe that MacAr-

attacking the civilian population
and the peaceful towns of Korea,
Which include the navy With its

American armed intervention in
Korea? 4

It appears that the aggressive
circles of the United States have
violated peace in order to grab
not only southern but also north-
ern - Korea.

The intrusion of the American
forces into Korea represent an
open war against the Korean
people. !

The aim is to deprive Korea of
national independence, to prevent
the creation of a single democratic
Korean state, and to establist: by.
violence in Korea an anti-natioal
regime which would allow the
ruling circles of the United States
to transform that country into
their colony and use Korean terri-
tory us a military base in the Far
East,

Ordering the armed forces of
the United States to attack Korea,
President Truman at the same
time announced that he has given
the American navy orders to “pre-
vent an attack on Formos.”,
which means the occupation by
American armed forces of that
territory belonging to China.

in March and April of this
year !

As a “trade secret”, geo-
chemical prospecting would
be worth many millions to
a private company.. Yet the
U.S. government was free to
copy it from Soviet publica-
tions. Where is the “Iron
Curtain”? Right in the U.S.
and Canada, where our own
authorities .can’t find out
‘what private companies are
doing’ with the Soviet dis-
covery that was handed to
them “for free.” ;

How often have you read
that the Soviet Union is “one

is a direct aggression ‘against
China.

That step of the United States
is morecver a gross infringement
of the international agreements of
Cairo and of Potsdam on Sormosa
as belonging to China, signed by
the United States. ‘

It is also an infringement of
President Truman's statement by
which, on January 25 last, he an-
nounced that the American gov-
ernment would not interfere in
the affairs of Formosa.

President Truman has an-
nounced that he ordered the re-
inforcement of the American arm-
ed forces on the Philippine Is-
lands, which was aimed at inter-
fering in the internal affairs of the
Philippine state and at kindling
internal strife.

That act of the United States
government shows that’ it con-
tinues to consider the Philippines
as its colony and not as an in-
dependent state which, further-
more, is a member of the United

Nations. 3

President Truman also stated
that he had ordered the accelera-
tion of the so-called military aid
to France in Indo-China.

That statement of Truman
shows that the United States gov-

was taken to see a tremen-
dous geological map of the
U.S.S.R. It shows to the
public the natural resources
of the country in detail. The
embassy staffs have seen it.

The map reveals where
the U.S.S.R. now has im-
mense reserves of those vital
things which the British and
U.S. imperialists’ have seized
by violence in other lands.

Every Soviet school child
.knows these facts. They
read on the walls of their
libraries Molotov’s famous

- Truman’s aggression against Korea

ernment has adopted the policy of
kindling war against the Viet-
hamese people for the sake of
supporting the colonial regime in
Indo-China—thus proving that the
United States government is as-
suming the role of gendarme of
the peoples of Asia. —

..President Truman’s statement
of June 27 means thus that the
government of the United States
has violated peace and has passed
from a policy of preparation for
aggression to direct acts of ag-
gression, and above that at the
same time in a number of coun-
tries of Asia.

In doing so the United States
government has trampled under-
foot its obligations toward the
United Nations organization for
the consolidation of peace in the
whole world and has appeared as
a violator of peace,

The Soviet government has al-
ready expressed its attitude in re-
spect of the policy of gross inter-
ference in the national affairs of
Korea led by the government of
the United States in its reply of
June 29 to the announcement of
the United States govefnment of
June 27.

The Soviet government is per-

_ the

statement: “We do not want
war, first, because we do not
need war; second, because
war is harmful to us, be-
cause it may interfere with
our constructive tasks.”

Many of the greatest

scientific discoveries can be
expressed in very simple
words. Here is a profound
discovery of scientific social-
ism, fully proved by history,
known to hundreds of mil-
lions, the discovery that
makes the socialist peoples
the unshakable foundation of
the world-wide fight for
peace. Socialism does. not
want war, because it does
not need war.

sisting without change in the pol-
iey of consolidation of peace in the
whole world and of its traditional
principle of non-intervention in
internal affairs of other
states.

The Soviet government con-
siders that the Koreans have the
same right to organize according
to their wishes their internal na-
tional affairs in the matter of
unification of the South and the
North of Korea into one state as
that right which belonged to it
and was used by the North Amer-
icans in the Sixties of the last
century, when they unified the
South and the North of America
into one national state.

From all that it is to be deduced
that the United States government '
has committed an act of hostility
against peace and the responsibil-
ity for the results of the armed
aggression committed by that gov-
ernment are falling on it. ;

The United Nations will accom-
plish its obligations concerning
the maintenance of peace only if
the Security Council will demand
the absolute cessation of the
American military intervention
and the immediate evacuation of
the American armed forces from
Korea.
