“NO APPEASEMENT”
Tempered By Military Realities REACTION IN KOREA . NZPA—Copyright Rec. 9 p.m. • SEOUL, Dec. 9. * The Attlee-Truman declaration that ’ they would seek a peaceful settlement of Korea’s war is regarded here as signalling. the military restoration of the thirty-eighth parallel. Observer* thought that the “no appeasement" stand had to be tempered by the military realities of the situation, and the reality was that no serious opposition to the Communists could be offered north of the parallel. .> ‘ It is believed, therefore, that if the Communists could be halted along this line and a cease-fire effected, it would meet both the "no appeasement” and “peaceful settlement ’ requirements. Observers said the declaration implied that any Communist attempts to advance south of the parallel would be seriously resisted. The declaration' ended a period of speculation here that the United Nations forces might -* evacuate the peninsula entirely with- V, out offering any further resistance.
