Gore in Korea
"Mr. Chang, Foreign Minister of South Korea, served notice today that his government would use force if necessary to bring North Korea under its control."
"He said that his government would not much longer tolerate a divided Korea . . . 'If we had our way way we would, I am sure, have started up already'." (N.Y. Tribune 1.11.49).
These facts, together with Truman's jump-the-gun order of troops for Korea, the later fast move put across an incomplete meeting of the Security Council, backed up by hearsay evidence which would be laughed out of any court, and the Security Council's decision for War as opposed to their Conciliation moves in Indonesia, Palestine, and Kashmir—all these things convinced Mr. Ferguson that US-dominated UN policy did not serve the interests of world peace.
