EFFECT OF TRUCE ON U.S.
“Only The Beginning,
Not The End” (Rec. 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 20. A truce in Korea could not, and must not, mean an automatic return to “business as usual,” the “New York Times” said in a leading article today. “There will still be a million or more Chinese Communist aggressors on Korean soil,” the newspaper said. “There is unfortunately no reason to assume, or hope, that they will not take advantage of the truce to strengthen their position by such things, for example, as the building of nonmilitary airfields.
‘“rile truce will bring inevitably a cry to cut defence appropriations, to bring boys back home, to get back immediately to normal conditions. The cry is based on a fallacy. “Conditions are not normal now, and they will not be normal, no matter what is signed at Panmunjon. The struggle will have to go on and we are certain to discover that this is only the beginning, not the end, to it.”
