KOREAN RELIEF MEASURES
SUPPORT AFFIRMED BY U.N.
(Rec. 8 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 9. The United Nations Political Committee today called for continued general support for Korean relief. The committee rejected a Soviet proposal to liquidate the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea.
The committee adopted, by 54 votes to five, a resolution proposed by Canada, Denmark, France, the Philippines, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Egypt, which noted with approval the reports of the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea, and of the Agent-General for Korean Reconstruction. It called on all governments and specialised agencies to assist in meeting the great and continuing need of the Korean people for relief and rehabilitation assistance.
Mr , Stanislaw Skrezesezewski (Poland) said that assistance to the commission would be used by the American Command to continue the war, but the abolition of the organisation would help in arriving at a peaceful settlement.
Mr Valerian Zorin, for Russia, said the commission had proved unable and unwilling to do anything about the rehabilitation or unification of Korea
