Vishinsky Charges
U.S. Does Not Want
To End Korea War
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (JP)
—Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Y. Vishinsky warned Monday that
United Nations adoption of an
American resolution backing up
the united command negotiators
at Panmunjom would inevitably
lead to collapse of the truce talks
and protraction of the Korean
war.
Vishinsky told the U.N.’s 60
nation political committee that
the U„S. knew in advance 'that
these terms would be rejected by
the Chinese and North Korean
commands.
U. S. Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, British Foreign Minister
Anthony Eden and French For
eign Minister Robert Schuman sat
nearby as the Kremlin’s top dip
lomatic spokesman claimed that
the resolution they backed as a
way to peace would lead only to
further war.
The resolution, sponsored by
the West’s Big Three and 18 other
countries, notes with approval the
unified command’s refusal to send
back Communist war prisoners
who say they do' not want to go;
it also issues an appeal to the
Chinese Communsts and North
Koreans to agree to these terms.
Vishinsky charged the U.S. was
not interested in ending the war,
but wanted to keep it going and
expand it in order to gain con
trol of the world and increase the
profits of “American billionaires.”
The Soviet Foreign Minister
said the U.S. resolution confirmed
that Washington did not want
peace through negotiation, but
was interested only in a “military
decision—victory at all costs.”
