Then, to rouse these feelings even higher, came the Aug. 7 U.N. declaration that all 16 members who fought in Korea would jointly resist a Communist breach of the armistice. The last sentence read: "The consequences of such a breach . . . would be so grave that, in all probability, it would not be possible to confine hostilities within the frontiers of Korea...

The oak tree holds its own against the gale only because its roots are strong enough to resist the pull of the wind, and the fibers of its branches restrain the buffeting with their tautness . . .
