nations supporting intervention in Korea. asking for additional help -particularly ground forces.

Only six of those members have as yet. placed forces at the disposal of the U. N. commander. It is as- sumed the message was directed particularly. to those who have supported the action but not made forces available.

In any event the details of the message received by Canada -it arrived here Saturday-have not been made public. It is not known whether its terms present the necessity for immediate action.

when the Prime Minister told the House of Commons on prerog- ation day. June 30. about the de- spstch of destroyers to Korea. he said that if events necessitated additional measures Parliament would be called together in emer- gency session.

This has been interpreted by his ministers to mean that if inter- vention involving a different form of warfare, such as ground forces or. aircraft. is necessary Parliam- ent. would be assembled.

Stalin Makes First Statement On Korea

MOSCOW. July 16 -(AP) - Prime Minister Stalin made his first statement on the Korean fighting Saturday in a personal message to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India. Con- tents of the note were not disclosed Nehru, who has announced his willingness to serve as a mediator in the Korean conflict, sent a per- sonal note to Stalin Thursday. The reply was handed to Dr. S. Radakrishman. Indian Ambassador to Moscow. by Andrei Gromyko. soviet Deputy Foreign Minister. The Indian Embassy issued a statement Saturday saying: "The Indian Ambassador was re- quested to call at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 3:30 P. M. today. Mr. Gromyko delivered to him a letter from Generalisslmo Stalin to the Prime Minister of India." Earlier there had been a growing belief ill foreign circles here that the soviet Union would like to dis- cuss the entire far-eastern quest-

ion. This would include Korea. Formosa, and Indo-China.

During the last week foreign diplomats expressed the opinion

that the Soviet Union wants to see a peaceful settlement of the Kor- ean conflict. They had said Rus- sia's price for such a settlement probably would be withdrawal, of American and any other foreign troops from the Korean Peninsula. The Soviets also were said to Wall? general elections in both North and South Korea to pick a single government for the whole Penin- sula.

The Soviet press meanwhile told the Russian people there is a con- tinually-rising wave of discontent in the United States and throug - out the western world over Ame! - can intervention in Korea.

a briefing officer told reporters, "are more encouraging than we have had for a long time."

The confidence reflected by top military leaders contrasted with a statement by representative James E. Van Zandt (Rep. Pa.). a mem- ber of tilel armed services com- mittee of the House of Represen- tatives. that the United States "may have to evacuate Korea in the next 72 hours."

Van Zandt, former National commander of lhe Veterans of Foreign Wars. made this remark Saturday in a speech at Harris- burg to a Pennsylvania convention of the V. F. W.

He later told a reporter that this was his own thinking. not based on recent information from Washington.

Attending the meeting of Presl- dcnt Truman with Collins and Vandenberg were Defence Secre- tary Louis Johnson; Gen. Omar Bradley. chairman of the U. S. joint chiefs of staff; Admiral For- rest. P. Sherman. chief of naval operations. and tile secretaries of the army. navy and air force.

The session. at Blair House. the temporary White House. lasted 45 minutes. Afterwards Johnson told reporters "nobody will have any- thing to say."

It was learned that the buildup of American military power on which lop administration Ieariurs have been planning will cover:

1. Men and weapons needed to gain the offensive In Korea and roll back the Red forces out of Southern Korea. In fact, the American Government still has to decide whether its troops will stop at the 38th parallel or whether

they will drive north of that boundary in an effort to settle the Korean question on a na- tional scale.

2. Reinforcement of the Ameri- can military position in the world outside Korea on the around that the U. 3. must have power some.- what in line. with the respon- sibilities it bears.

3. A stepped-up ptograni of as- sistance to ,the countries of west- ern Europc. This program will de- pend in large part on their ability to help themselves more exten- sively than they now are doing under the North Atlantic treaty. The State Department has been particularly anxious to speed up the European arms aid project.
