...Reds perhaps as long ago as last July, when the truce agenda was adopted. At that time the enemy had insisted that the cease-fire line be dealt with first. Hoping for a quick armistice, the U.N. had agreed. There followed months of bickering, deadlocks, interruptions, neutral zone problems and false Red accusations. Thus it seemed a U.N. triumph, and a hastening of peace, when the Reds gave up their insistence on the 38th parallel line, and accepted instead the present battle line. Some military bigwigs talked as if peace was just around the corner. But last week the Reds...
...north of the 38th; they pointed out that this, plus their already proffered withdrawals on the central and eastern fronts, should be adequate compensation for Kaesong. The Reds refused. Next, the U.N. negotiators offered to pass the buffer zone directly through Kaesong-in other words, to make it a neutral city held by neither side. Again, the Reds refused.

...three Western powers backed Adenauer up. Last week they decided to seek the U.N. investigators at the U.N. General Assembly meeting which opens in Paris on Nov. 6. In doing so, the West is taking a big risk, for it knows that a unified Germany would likely be a neutral Germany. That would delay the West's attempt to bring West Germany, with her manpower and industry, into the defense of Western Europe. But the three powers hope and believe that they are calling an even bigger bluff: that Russia, knowing it would lose in any free election, doesn...
