Withdrawal Only Basis For Seiileineni

By JOHN M. FIIGIITOWEI

WASHINGTON. July 14 .- (A!) - The United States served notice today that its rock bottom re- quirement for a settlement of the Korean crisis is the withdrawal of the Communist invasion army from South Korea.

A State Department statement. prompted by speculation over the diplomatic activities of Prime Min- ister Nehru of India. plus inform- ation frcm other sources, disclosed a firm and unyielding American policy covering these points:

i. There can be no compromise with aggression in Korea as far as the us. Clovemmentis concom- ed; in line with United Nations

and the return of North Korean troops to their own territory are the "m'nimum and irreducible con- ditions for a solution of the pres- ent Korean crisis."

2. The United Nations is the proper forum for negotiation on the crisis and the United States will not negotiate directly with Russia. Nehru. who sent. messages to Moscow and Washington yester- day, is reported to have offered to negotiate a Korean settlement.

8. The United States does not intend to enter into any deal with Russia for admission of Commun- ist China to the United Nations in return for Russian intervention to call off the North Koreans.

lolne officials indicate the Ull- lted States might even use its veto now to block Chinese Oom- munist mambo uhip on the ground that with the existence of the UN. at stake in Korea this is no time for membership , ” to be settled.
