CONFERENCE ON KOREA
Allied Request
(Rec. 8 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 18. Sixteen Allied countries with troops in Korea met at United Nations headquarters tonight and unanimously agreed to make a second request to the Communists to agree to the time and place for the Korean Political Conference.
Reuter’s United Nations correspondent said that in taking this action the 16 Allies, by implication, rejected the demand of Mr Chou En-lai, the Chinese Communist Prime Minister, that membership of the conference be broadened to include the four Asian States— India, Indonesia, Burma, and Pakistan.
The terms in which the Allies decided to make the second request were not divulged, but one delegate said that the 16 were now saying to the other side in effect, “Come on, and •how us you are willing to sit down at the conference.”
