'AMERICAN' ARMED .
INTERVENTION
IN KOREA
STATEMENT BY A. A. GROMYKO
A. A. Gromyko, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the U.S.S.R.,
issued the following statement on American armed intervention in
Korea on July 4:
THE events now taking place in Korea broke out on June 25
as the result of a provocative attack by the troops of the South
Korean authorities on the frontier areas of the Korean People's
Democratic Republic. This attack was the outcome of a
premeditated plan.
From time to time Syngman Rhee and other representatives
of the South Korean authorities had blurted out the fact that the
South Korean Syngman Rhee clique had such a plan.
As long ago as October 7, 1949, Syngman Rhee, boasting of
success in training his army, stated outright, in an interview given
to an American United Press correspondent, that the South
Korean Army could capture Phyeng-yang in the course of three
days.
On October 31, 1949, in Sell Mo, Defence Minister of the
Syngman Rhee Government, also told newspaper correspondents
that the South Korean troops were strong enough to act and
take Phyeng-yang within a few clays. Only one week before the
provocative attack of the South Korean troops on the frontier
areas of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, Syngman
Rhee said, in a speech on June 19 in the so-called "National
Assembly" where Mr. Dulles, adviser to the U.S. State Depart-
ment, was present: "If we cannot protect democracy in the cold
war, we shall win in a hot war."
It is not difficult to understand that representatives of the
South Korean authorities could only make such statefnents be-
cause they felt that they had American support behind them.
One month before the present developments in Korea, on May
19, 1950, Mr. Johnson, chief American administrator of aid to
Korea, told the American Congress House of Representatives

goes to show that the United States Government is
more and more into war, but, com-
pelled to._reckon rvlth the unwillingness of the American people
to be involved&,__ w military adventure, it is gradually impel-
ling the country step by step towards open war.
The United States Government tries to justify armed inter-
vention against Korea by alleging that it was undertaken on the
authorisation of the Security Council. The falsity of such an
allegation strikes the eye.
What really happened? It is known that the United States
Government had started armed intervention in Korea before
the Security Council was summoned to meet on June 27, with-
out taking into consideration what decision the Security Council
might take. Thus the United States Government confronted the
United Nations Organisation with a fait accompli, with a viola-
tion of peace.
The Security Council merely rubber-stamped and back-dated
the resolution proposed by the United States Government,
approving the aggressive actions which this Government had
undertaken. Furthermore, the American resolution was adopted
by the Security Council with a gross violation of the Charter
of the United Nations Organisation.
In accordance with Article 27 of the United Nations Charter,
all Security Council decisions on major issues must be adopted
by an affirmative vote of not less than seven members, including
the votes of all the live permanent members of the Security
Council, i.e., of the Soviet Union, China., the United States, Great
iritain and France.
However, the American resolution approving the United States
armed intervention in Korea was adopted by only six votes-
those of the United States, Britain, France, Norway, Cuba and
Ecuador. The vote of the Kuomintangite Tsiang Ting-fu, who
unlawfully occupies China's seat on the Security Council, was
counted as the seventh vote for this resolution.
Furthermore, of the five permanent members of the Council
only three-the United States, Britain and France--were present
at the Security Council's meeting on June 27. Two other perma
nent members of the Security Council--the U.S.S.R. and China
--were not present at the Council meeting, since the hostile atti-
tude of the United States Government towards the Chinese
people deprives China of the opportunity of having her legitimate
representative on the Security Council, and this made impossible
the Soviet Union's participation in the meetings of the Security
Council.

It is also known that the United Nati P(?e*r*"envisages
the intervention of the Security Council only in those cases where
the matter concerns events of an international order and not of
an internal character. Moreover, the Charter directly forbids.
the intervention, of the United Nations Organisation in the inter
nal affairs of any State when it is a matter of an internal conlhct
between two groups of one State. Thus the Security Council
its decision of June 27 violated also this most important principIh
of the United Nations Organisation.
It follows from the aforesaid that this resolution, which t1ie
U.S. Government is using as a cover for its armed intervention
in Korea, was illegally put through the Security Council with r
gross violation of the Charter of the United Nations Organisa
lion This only became possible because the grass pressure of
the United States Government on the members of the Security
Council converted r-he United Nations Organisation into a kind
of branch of the U.S. State Department, into an obedient tool
of the policy of American ruling circles who acted as violaitrrr,,
of peace.
The illegal resolution of June 27, adopted by the Securrr,,
('ouncil under prcisure trom the United States Governmenr
shows that the Security Council is acting, not as a body which
is charged with the main responsibility for the maintenance ol
peace, but as a tocl utilii,ed by the ruling circles of the Unircj
States for unleashing war. This resolution of the Security
Council constitutes a hostile act against peace.
It' the Security Council valued the cause of peace, it should
have attempted to .cconcile the fighting sides in Korea before
it adopted such a scandalous resolution. Only the Securilr
Council and the United Nations Secretary-General could h.ase
done this. However., they did not mtrke such an attempt, c' i
dently knowing. that su::h peaceful action contradicts ihr
aggressor's plans.
It is impossible not. to note the unseemly role played in th,
whole affair by the United Nations Secretary-General, M
l'rygve Lie. Being under the obligation, by virtue of his p "
lion, to observe the exact fulfilment of the United Nations
Charter, the Secretary-General, during discussion of the Korean

pkoblem in the ? ecurity ,Council, -far from fulfilling his direct
,duties, on the contrary obsequiously helped -a gross 'violation
-el' the Charter to be committed by the Government of the United
States and other Security Council members.
There-by the Secretary-General showed that he is concerned,
not so much with strengthening the United Nations Organisa-
tion and with promoting peace, as with how to help the United
States ruling circles to carry out their aggressive plans with
regard to Korea.
, At a press conference on June 29, President Truman denied
that the United States, having launched hostilities in Korea, was
in a state of war. He announced that this was only "police
action" in support of the United Nations Organisation and
alleged. that this action was aimed against a "group of bandits"
from North Korea.
It is not difficult to understand the untenability of such an
allegation.
It has long been known that, in undertaking aggressive actions,
an aggressor usually resorts to this or that method of camou-
flaging his actions.
Everyone remembers that when, in the summer of 1937, mili-
tarist Japan started armed intervention in North China with the
campaign on Peking ,it announced that this was solely a local
"incident" for the sake of maintaining peace in the East, although
no one believed this. The military operation which General
MacArthur has now undertaken in Korea upon the instructions
of the United States Government can be regarded as "police
action" in support of the United Nations Organisation to just
the same extent as the war started by the Japanese militarists
against China in 1937 could be regarded as a local "incident"
for maintaining peace in the East.
As is known, the operations of the United States armed forces
in Korea are commanded, not by some police officer, but by
General MacArthur. However, it would be absurd to admit that
the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces in
Japan, General MacArthur, is directing, not military operations,
but some sort of "police action" in Korea. Who will believe
that MiacArthur's armed forces, including military aviation, down
to Flying Fortresses and jet planes, which attack the civilian
population and the peaceful cities of Korea, the navy, including
cruisers and aircraft carriers, as well as ground forces, were
needed for a "police action" against a "group of bandits"?
This is something that even quite naive persons will hardly
believe.

when t e Peoples?Liberation Army of China was fighting against -

bandits." What the reality turned out to be, however, is some-
"groups of bandits" not only expressed the fundamental national
interests of China, but also constituted the Chinese people. Those
whom the ruling circles of the United States thrust upon China
as a Government turned out to be in reality a handful of bank-
ruptadventurers and bandits who traded the national honour and
independence of China right and left.
What are the real aims of American armed intervention in
Korea?
Eyidently, the point is that the aggressive circles of the United
States violated peace in order to lay hands, not only on the South,
but also on North Korea. The invasion of Korea by American
armed' forces constitutes open war against the Korean people.
d
t
o pre-
ence,
Its goal is to deprive Korea of her national indepen
vent the formation of a united democratic Korean State and
forcibly to 'establish in Korea an anti-popular regime which would
allow the ruling circles of the United States to convert the
coinitiy'into their colony and use Korean territory as a military
,and. strategic springboard in the Far East. In ordering the
United States armed forces to attack Korea, President Truman
at the same time stated that he had ordered the American Navy
"to prevent any attack on Formosa," which means the occupation
by American armed forces of this part of China's territory.
This move of the United States Government constitutes out-
right aggression against China.
This move of the United States Government furthermore con-
stitutes a gross violation of the Cairo and Potsdam International
Agreements concerning Formosa being Chinese territory, agree-
merits which bear the signature of the United States Government
too, and is also a violation of the statement made by President
Truman on January 5 of this year to the effect that the Americans
would not intervene in the affairs of Formosa.
President Truman also stated that he had instructed American
armed forces to be increased in the Philippines, which aims at
intervention in the domestic affairs of the Philippine State and
at kindling an internal. struggle. This act of the American
Government shows that it continues to regard the Philippines as
its colony and not as an independent State, which, furthermore,
is a member of the United Nations Organisation.
President Truman stated in addition that he had issued- an
instruction that so-called "military assistance" to France in Indo-

supporting the colonial regime in Indo China, thereby demon
strating that it is assuming the role of gendarme of the peoples
Thus .,president Truman's statement of ~June 27 means that
over from a, policy of preparing aggression to direct acts or
aggression simultaneously in a whole number of countries in
Asia. Thereby the United States Government has trampled

There is no small number of historical examples of cases
where, by means of intervention from without, the attempt was
l
made to throttle the struggle waged by the peoples for nationa
unity and for 'democratic rights.
In this connection one could recall. the war between the
Northern and Southern States of North America in the 'sixties
of the fast century. At that time the Northern States, headed
by Abraham Lincoln, waged an armed struggle against the slave-
owners of the South for the abolition of slavery and for the
preservation of the national unity of the country' When
attacked by the South, the armed forces of the Northern States
did not, as is known, limit themselves to defence of their own
territory, but transfered military operations to the territory of
the Southern States, routed the troops of the planters and slave-
owners who did not enjoy the support of the people, smashed
the slave-owning system existing in the South and created the
conditions for establishing national unity.
It is known that at that time certain Governments, as for
instance the British Government, also intervened in the internal
affairs of North America in favour of the South against the
North and against national unity. Despite this, victory was won
by the American people as personified by those progressive forces
which headed the struggle of the North against the South.
t 'will, not be amiss to recall also another lesson of history.
the reactionary Tsarist - generals, _ having dug themselves in on
the outs`irts of Russia, rent Russia asunder, the Government
of the United States, together with the. Government of Britain,
France and certain other States, intervened in the domestic
affairs of the Soviet country and came out on the side of the

 Approved For Release'2001/12/05` CIA-F2DP83-OD415R006900090001-5
reactionary Tsarist generals in order to preve the unification
of cur Motherland under the aegis of" the Soviet Government.
The United States Government also did not shrink from armed
intervention, sending its troops to the Soviet Far East and to the
Archangel area. Together with the troops of certain. other
countries, the American troops actively helped the Russian
Tsarist generals-Kolchak, Denikin, Yudenich and others-in
their struggle against the Soviet power, shot Russian workers and
peasants and plundered the population.
As we see, in this case, too, the ruling circles of certain foreign
States, violating peace, tried by armed intervention to turn back
the wheel of history, tried forcibly to impose on the people the
much-hated regime they had overthrown and tried to prevent the
unification of our country into a single State.
It is universally known how this interventionist adventure
ended.
It is useful to recall these historical examples because the
events now taking place in Korea and certain other countries of
Asia, and the aggressive policy of the United States as regards
these countries, are in many respects reminiscent of the above-
mentioned events from the history of the United States and
Russia.
The Soviet Government has already expressed its attitude
towards the policy which is being pursued by the United States
Government, a policy of gross intervention in the domestic affairs
of Korea, in its reply of June 29 to the statement of the United
States Government, dated June 27.
The Soviet Government invariably adheres to a policy of
strengthening peace the world over and to its traditional principle
of non-interference in the domestic affairs of other States.
The Soviet Government holds that the Koreans have the same
right to arrange at their own discretion their internal national
affairs in the sphere of uniting South and North Korea into a
single national State as the North Americans had in the 'sixties
of the last century when they united the South and the North of
America into a single national State.
From all the aforesaid it follows that the Government of the
United States of America has committed a hostile act against
peace and that it bears the responsibility for the consequences of
the armed aggression it has undertaken.
The United Nations Organisation will fulfil its duties of main-
taining peace only in the event that the Security Council demands
the unconditional cessation of American military intervention
and the immediate withdrawal of American armed forces from
Korea.

SOVIET GOVERNMtNT'S REPLY TO
UNITED STATES
r On June 27, Mr. A. Kirk, United States Ambassador, forwarded
an 'alde-memoire to A. A. Grornyko, Deputy Minister of Foreign
Affairs of the U.S.S.R., containing a statement of the U.S. Govern-
ment of the following content:
Government has instructed me to call your attention to
the fact. that North Korean forces have crossed the 38th
parallel and invaded the territory of the Republic of Korea in
force at several points. The refusal of the Soviet representa-
tive to, attend the United Nations Security Council meeting on
June 25, despite the clear threat to peace and the obligations of
a member of the Security Council under the Charter, requires
the Government of the United States to bring this matter directly
to the attention of the Government of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. In view of the universally known fact of the
close relations between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
and the North Korean regime, the United States Government
asks an assurance that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
disavows responsibility for this unprovoked and unwarranted
attack, and that it will use its influence with the North Korean
authorities to withdraw their invading forces immediately.
On the instructions of the Soviet Government, on June 29 A. A.
Gromyko stated to Mr. A. Kirk the following:
IN connection with the statement of the Government of the
United States of America forwarded by you on June 27, the
Soviet Government has instructed me to state the following:
1. According to reliable data of the Soviet Government, the
events taking place in Korea were provoked by the attack of
troops of the South Korean authorities on the North Korean
border regions. Therefore responsibility for these events rests
with the South Korean authorities and with those who stand
behind their backs.
2. As is known, the Soviet Government withdrew its troops
from Korea earlier than this was done by the Government of
the United States of America and thereby confirmed its tradi-
tional principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of
other States. The Soviet Government continues to adhere to
the principle of the impermissibility of interference of foreign
Powers in the internal affairs of Korea.

world it was impossible for the Soviet Government to take part

tioc. of the United States Government, a permanent member of
the Security Council-China-has not been admitted to the
Council, which renders it impossible for the Security Council to
adopt decisions having legal force.
SOVIET GOVERNMENT'S, REPLY TO
MR. TRYGVE LYE
The following is the text of the communication from Mr. Trygve
Lie, Secretary General of the United Nations, addressed to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the U.S.S.R.:
I HAVE the honour' to inform you of the following text of a
resolution adopted by the Security Council at its 474th meeting,
June 27, 1950:
"The Security Council, having decided that the armed attack
on the Korean Republic by troops from Northern Korea con-
stitutes a violation of peace; having called for the immediate
cessation of military operations; having called on the North
Korean authorities immediately to withdraw their .armed forces
to the 38th Parallel; having noted from the report of the Korean
Commission of the. United Nations Organisation that the North
,Korean authorities have not ceased military operations .and have
not withdrawn their armed forces to the 38th Parallel, and that
urgent military measures are required for the restoration of
international peace and security; noting the appeal of the
Korean Republic to the United Nations Organisation for imme-
diate and effective steps to safeguard peace and security;
`'Recommends that the members of the United Nations organ-
isation give the Korean Republic such aid as may be necessary
to repulse the armed attack and restore international peace and
security in this area."
The following is the text of the Soviet Government's reply of lime
28 to the message of Mr. Trygve Lie:
T? the Secretary General of the United Nations Organisation,
Mfr. Trygve Lie, in New York.
The Soviet Government has received from you the text `of the
Security Council's resolution of June 27 calling on United
Nations members as to the need to intervene in Korean affairs
to the benefit of the South Korean authorities.

The Soviet Government states_tliat this resolution was adopted
by six votes with the participation of a seventh, the Kuomin-
tangite Tsiang Ting-fu, who has no lawful right to represent
China. But, in accordance with the Charter of the
United Nations, to adopt decisions the Security Council needs
seven votes, including the five Permanent Council Members,
namely-the U.S.A., Great Britain, France, the' U.S.S.R. and
China.
It is also known that when the said decision was taken, two
Permanent Members. of the Security Council, the U.S.S.R. and
China, were absent. But, in accordance with the United
Nations Charter, the Security Council can take a decision on
important issues only if unanimity is expressed by all five Per-
maneiit Council Members namely-the U.S.A., Great Britain,
Prance, the U.S.S.R. and t `hina.
In view of the above. stated, it is quite plain' that the said
decision of the Security Council on the Korean problem has
no legal, force.

AGGRESSION
Editorial Comment in " Pravda," June 28
ON June 27 President Truman of the United States of America
issued a special statement on the events in Korea.
The events in Korea, which have occupied the centre of atten-
tion of world public opinion, reveal with all clarity that the
imperialist warmongers will not stop half way in pursuit of their
objects. As is known, on June 25, the provocative actions of
troops of the puppet Government of South Korea, directed
against the Korean People's Democratic Republic, unleashed
military operations on the territory of Korea. In reply to this,
Security Detachments and troops of the Korean People's Repub-
lic undertook active measures and, carrying out their Govern-
at',; orders, went over to the counter-offensive, transferring
fniltary operations to the territory south of the 38th parallel.
tt Government of the Korean People's Democratic Republic
has tb~een aide repeatedly- to demon%trate its consistency in defence
of the interests of the Korean people, their democratic develop-
ment, their independence, their patriotic aspirations for unity.

Korean people, came forward with a proposal to carry out the
peaceful unification of the country.
The South Korean clique of Syngman Rhee answered this
proposal on June 25 by beginning internecine, fratricidal war.
The Syngman Rhee clique has taken the path of military
adventure. It relied in advance on military aid from its over-
seas masters.
The aggressive plans of its protectors are now beginning to be
disclosed.
As is clear from the afore-mentioned statement by Truman,
he has instructed the air and naval forces of the United States
to give armed "support" to the army of Syngman Rhee, the
traitor of the Korean people. At the same time the American
President has instructed the American Seventh Fleet to "prevent
any attach on Formosa," which is an order for the actual occupa-
tion. by American awned forces of part of the territory of China.
This order signifies that the Government of the United States of
America has undertaken a direct act of aggression against the
Korean People's Democratic Republic and against the People's
Republic of China.
Truman's statement and actions, unprecedented in international
relations of the post-war period, constitute further evidence that
the American ruling circles no longer confine themselves to the
preparation of aggression, but have gone over to direct acts of
aggression. But have they gone too far? The American Govern-
ment, with its characteristic unceremoniousness as regards inter-
national law, is grossly trampling on the United Nations Charter,
acting as though the United Nations Organisation did not exist
at all.
The question arises, who authorised the American Government
to take this step? In bringing its armed forces into action, did
the United States Government reach agreement on its policy
with the United Nations Organisation, about their loyalty to
which Truman and Acheson are so vociferous? Where and when
did the Security Council take a decision giving the United States
Government a free hand in the acts of direct aggression under-
taken by it?
As is known, neither the United Nations Organisation nor
any other international body has authorised the Government
of the United States of America to undertake those actions with
regard to Korea and China which Truman announced yesterday.
In undertaking its openly aggressive act the American Govern-
ment evidently set itself the aim of confronting the United
Nations Organisation with a "fait accompli."

BROADCAST BT KIM IR SEN
On the morning of June 26, Kim Ir Sen, Chairman of the Cabinet
of Ministers of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, made the
following statement over the radio to the people:
DEAR countrymen! Dear brothers and sisters, men of our
People's Army and partisans operating in the Southern part
of our Republic! On behalf of the the Government of the
Korean People's Democratic Republic I address you. On June
25, the army of the puppet government of the traitor Syngman
Rhee began an offensive against the territory North of the 38th
Parallel. In fierce battles, the border guards, fighting courage-
ously, parried the blow and stopped the offensive of the troops
of the Syngman Rhee puppet army. Having discussed the situa-
tion, the Government of the Korean People's Democratic Re-
public gave an order to our People's Army to begin a resolute
counter-offensive and to rout the armed forces of the enemy.
Carrying out the order of the Government of the Korean People's
Democratic Republic, the People's Army threw back the enemy
from the territory to the North of the 38th Parallel and advanced
10-15 kilometres to the South, liberating the towns of Ongjin,
Enan, Kaiseng, Piakchen and a number of other towns and
populated centres.
The treacherous Syngman Rhee clique unleashed the anti-
popular internecine war despite the fact that the patriotic demo-
cratic forces of our country fought for the unification of the
country in a peaceful way. The whole world knows that the
Syngman Rhee clique which opposes the peaceful unification of
the homeland has, .for a long time, prepared for fratricidal war.
While the people of South Korea were starving, the puppet Syng-
man Rhee Government spent a great part of its budget funds,
forcibly extracted from the population by unbearable taxes, for
armament and preparations for fratricidal war. Striving to un-
leash internecine war the reactionary Syngman Rhee clique
hastened to prepare its rear for this. It established a reaction-
ary police rdgime in South Korea. To justify the preparations
for internecine war, the Syngman Rhee clique constantly pro-
voked military clashes along the 38th Parallel, creating an at-
mosphere of disquiet in the country and seeking to place the
responsibility for these provocations on the authorities of the
Korean People's Democratic Republic. In the course of the
preparations for the "march to the North", the traitors, acting
on the orders of the American imperialists, were not ashamed
to enter into a conspiracy with the hateful enemies of the Korean
people-the Japanese militarists.

Kim Jr Sen then dwelt on the extremely t a c
situation of South-Korea into which it was plunged by the anti- -
popular Syngman Rhee clique.
Dear countrymen, the Government of the Korean People's
Democratic Republic, together with all patriotic democratic
;parties and public organisations, together with the people of
the whole of Korea, made every effort to avoid the calamity of
fratricidal war and to unite our country in a peaceful way, with-
out bloodshed. As far back as April 1948, the joint meeting
of the representatives of parties and public organisations of
North and South Korea made the first attempt to ensure the
peaceful unification of the country.. However, this attempt was
frustrated by the Syngman Rhee clique who, in May 1948, by
carrying out, with the help of the American imperialists and
their instrument-the U.N.O. Commission for Korea-separate,
falsified elections in South Korea, intensified preparations for
an armed attack on the Northern part of the country.
11 To achieve the peaceful unification and full independence of
the country, seventy-one patriotic parties and public organisa-
tions rallied in the United Democratic Fatherland Front of
Korea and, in June last year, advanced a proposal concerning
the peaceful unification of the country by holding a general
election. This proposal was warmly supported by the entire
Kot!ean people. However, the realisation of this proposal was
again frustrated by the perfidious Syngman Rhee clique.
Expressing the opinion of the people striving for a peaceful
unification of the country, the United Democratic Fatherland
Front, on June 7, 1950, advanced a proposal to effect the unifi-
cation of the country in a peaceful way. However, the treacher-
ous Syngman Rhee clique prevented the realisation of this pro-
posal by the United Democratic Fatherland Front also, declaring
that it would regard as traitors all those who participated in
n ensures aimed at carrying out the proposal concerning peaceful
unification.
Taking into account the firm will of the Korean people for
unification, independence and democratic development of the
country and also taking into consideration the desire of demo-
cratic political parties and organisations, the Presidium of the
Supreme People's Assembly of Korea proposed on June 19 to
effect the peaceful unification of the country by uniting the
Supreme People's Assembly of the Korean People's Democratic
Republic and the so-called National Assembly of South Korea
into a single legislative organ for the whole of Korea. But the
Syngman Rhee clique, to whom the interests of the Korean
people are alien, replied to the proposal for the peaceful unifica-

3 n of the. country, for which the entire people are war ing,
starting a fratricidal war: By means of fratricidal war, the
Syngman Rhee clique is seeking to establish in the Northern part
of the Republic, the reactionary anti-popular regime which
existed under the Japanese and which exists at present in the
Southern part of the Republic; to liquidate the Korean People's
Democratic Republic and take away from our people the suc-
cesses achieved by them in the matter of democratic transforma-
tions. The Syngman Rhee reaction seeks to take away from the
peasants the land received by them free of charge in the Northern
part of the republic as a result of land reform, and to give it
back to the landlords. The treacherous clique seeks to abolish
all deal, cratic liberties and rights gained by the Korean people
in the Northern part of the Republic. The treacherous Syngman
Rhee clique wants to turn the whole of the country into a colony
of the American imperialists, and the Korean people into slaves.
Dear brothers and sisters! A great danger hangs over our
homeland and the people. What is needed in order to end this
danger? In this war waged against the Syngman Rhee clique,
the Korean people must defend the Korean People's Democratic
Republic and its Constitution, liquidate the anti-popular fascist
puppet Syngman Rhee power established in the Southern part of
the Republic, liberate the Southern part of our country from the
domination of the Syngman Rhee clique, and restore there,
people's committees- real organs of power. We must, under
the banner of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, com-
plete the unification of the country and form a united indepen-
dent democratic state. The war which we have been compelled
to wage is a just war for the unification and independence of
the homeland, for freedom and democracy.
Kim Ir Sen then called upon the People's Army and the
border guard detatchments boldly to defend the gains of demo-
cracy.
Our People's Army is reared in the spirit of respect for the
people and the country. It is equipped with modern technique
and is fighting for the interests of the people and of homeland.
Further, Kim Ir Sen called upon the people in the Northern
part cif the Republic to switch all work to a military basis, to
mobilise all forces for a merciless and rapid destruction of the
enemy.
It is necessary to subordinate all work to war needs and the
task of smashing the enemy, to organise all-out aid for the
People's Army, secure constant reinforcements for its ranks,
to supply the front with all necessary materials, to ensure speedy
delivery to the army of armaments and munitions and to arrange
for help on a wide scale to wounded soldiers. It is necessary

Addressing the men and women partisans in South Korea,
Kim Ir Sen called upon them to give active aid to the People's
Army, to widen the common national struggle, to annihilate the r?
enemy, to disrupt his communication lines and to restore the
people's committees.
Kim Ir Sen called upon the workers, peasants, owners of
enterprises and the intelligentsia of South Korea actively to help
in liberating South Korea.
Addressing himself to the officers and men of the so-called
army of national defence, Kim Ir Sen urged them to turn their
guns against the enemies of the Korean people--the perfidious
Syngman Rhee clique-and, by doing so, to take their place in
the ranks of the fighters for the unity and freedom of the
Dear fellow citizens, the Government addresses itself to all
the people of Korea with the call to rally still closer around
the Government of the People's Democratic Republic in order
the more quickly to smash the armed forces of the puppet
Syngman Rhee clique and its police regime, to win a glorious
victory and ensure the unification and independence of the
country. History shows that a people resolutely taking
to struggle for freedom and independence is invincible.
The cause of our people is a just cause. Victory must be ours.
I am confident that this just struggle for our country and people
will be crowned with victory. The time has come to unite
our native land.
With confidence in victory we go forward boldly!
All forces to the aid of our People's Army and the front!
All forces for the defeat and destruction of the enemy! Long
live the people of Korea who have risen in an all-people's just
war!
Long live the Korean People's Democratic Republic !

KOREAN PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC
The following statement by Pak Hen Yen, Minister of Foreign
Affairs of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, was broadcast
from Phyeng-yang on the night of July 1:
ON June 27 President Truman of the United States said that
he had ordered air and naval forces of the United States to
enter into hostilities in Korea on the side of the South Korean
puppet rdgime which had unleashed internecine war in our coun-
try at the bidding of the American imperialists. On June 30
Truman announced that American ground forces had been sent
to South Korea.
American planes are subjecting our peaceful population to
piratical bombing, making raids on Phyeng-yang and other
places in North Korea, as well as on liberated towns in South
Korea, attacking units of the People's Army in order to prevent
the victorious advance to the south.
Thus the policy of enslaving the Korean people and turning
Korea into a colony which has been pursued by the American
imperialists has now assumed the form of open armed inter-11 vention against the Korean People's Democratic Republic.
For a long time the American imperialists have dreamed. of
establishing their domination over the Far East. Formerly, how-
ever, they had to reckon with the imperialist interests of Britain
and Japan and other Powers, and had to extend their positions
in the Far East by deals with these Powers at the expense of
the enslaved peoples of Asia. Thus, the Korean people will
never forget that in 1905, in order to strengthen its domination
over the Philippines, the United States entered into a treacherous
deal with Japan and assisted in the establishment of a Japanese
protectorate over Korea.
After the Second World War, which resulted in the rout of
Japan and the weakening of Britain, the American imperialists
decided to take their place in the countries of the Far East, seek-
ing to turn the Pacific Ocean into an American sea and the people
of the Pacific countries into the slaves of the American mono-
polies. However, the consolidation of the forces of the demo-
cratic camp, the development of the national liberation move-
ment in the countries of Asia and especially the great victory of
the Chinese people smashed to smithereens the perfidious schemes
of the American imperialists.
The Korean people have experienced the whole burden of
the colonising policy of the American imperialists. Having rid

with enslavement. , Seeking to keep South Korea, the American
imperialists stubbornly prevented the unification of the Korean
people. They thwarted the establishment of a single democratic
Government of Korea on the basis of the Moscow decision of
the Foreign Ministers of the U.S.S.R.., the United States and
Britain. They refused to withdraw their troops from Korea until
they had turned South Korea into their colony with the help of
the puppet Syngman Rhee Government which they set up.
Now it is clear to every Korean that even after the withdrawal
of American troops South Korea was administered by the Ameri-
can, imperialists. It is they, together with the Syngman khee
clique, who bear the full responsibility for the crimes of the
military police regime they instituted in South Korea, for the
shooting and murder of tens of thousands of sons of the Korean
people destroyed by the Syngman Rhee clique on the orders of
its American masters, for the torments of hundreds of thousands
of patriots thrown into prisons and subjected to brutal tortures,
for all the suffering of the people of South Korea. The hands
of the American imperialists are steeped in the blood of the
Korean people.
But they did not succeed in enslaving the Korean people. This
was prevented first of all by the democratic system established
in North Korea. North Korea became a powerful base of the
Korean people's struggle for unity, independence and freedom.
Its successes in peaceful construction demonstrated the superiority
of the democratic system over the anti-national military police
regime of South Korea, inspired the Korean people to struggle
against the attempts of the American imperialists to colonise
Korea and instilled in the people confidence in final victory.
This is the reason why the American imperialists and their
South Korean lackeys, who have hated the Korean People's
Democratic Republic for a long time, plotted to strangle it by
means of war. They prevented the realisation of the proposals
for the peaceful unification of Korea which were repeatedly
put forward by the democratic parties and public organisations,
as well as by the Government, of the Korean People's Demo-
cratic? Republic.
With the support of the United States, the Syngman Rhee
"Government" for two years openly prepared the attack on the
North, boasting that its army would capture Phyeng-yang and
Wonsan in a day and that it only awaited the order to go into
action.
Having obtained a promise of military support from the
United States, the Syngman Rhee "Government", on the orders
of its American masters, unleashed internecine war in Korea on

lating that by means of the votes of countries dependent on
the United States they would succeed in covering up with the
name of the United Nations any unlawful action, even after
such an action had been committed.
The resolution dictated by the Americans to the Security
Council is based on one-sided, falsified information, is invalid
and is contrary to the United Nations Charter, since it was
taken without the participation of the representatives of the
Government of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, and
also without the participation of the representatives of two great
Powers which are permanent members of the Security Council
-the U.S.S.R. and the Chinese People's Republic.
The members of the Security Council who voted for this
resolution once again showed that they were ready to sign any
document dictated to them by the United States, without regard
for the rights and interests of peoples. In this connection one
cannot but mention the fact that the pro-American majority in
the United Nations, now displaying such feverish activity to save
the bankrupt Syngman Rhee regime, ignored the repeated
appeals to the United Nations made by the Government of the
Korean People's Democratic Republic and by public organisa-
tions of Korea regarding the atrocities and military provocations
of the Syngman Rhee regime.
It also ignored the repeated appeals of Korean public organisa-
tions containing concrete proposals for the peaceful unification of
Korea, thereby encouraging the adventurist measures of the
United States and its South Korean stooges for fomenting inter-
necine war in Korea.
The American imperialists and their South Korean stooges who
unleashed internecine war in Korea have gravely miscalculated.
The Syngman-Rhee troops received a deserved rebuff and under
the blows of the People's Army, which went over to the counter-
offensive, are fieeeing southward in disorder. The valiant
People's Army, upholding the freedom and independence of the
Korean people, continues to pursue the enemy.

the enemy from a substantial territory in the southern part of the
Republic and liberated Seoul, the capital of the Motherland.
Everywhere the people are greeting their Army which has brought
them. liberation from the horrors of the Syngman Rhee regime, and
are rendering it active assistance in the liberation of the country.
The heroic guerillas of South Korea have developed military
operations on the enemy's lines of communication. They have
cut the main railway line running from the Port of Pusan, and
in co-operation with the population that has risen they have
liberated a number of towns in South Korea.
The flight of the Syngman Rhee Army and the people's
activities in its rear provide fresh evidence of the decay and doom
of the anti-national regime of the American puppets in South
Korea. The full bankruptcy of the Syngman Rhee regime has
now become obvious. The American imperialists, seeing that
their plans for colonising Korea are collapsing, are intensifying
armed intervention against the Korean people. They want to
drown the freedom of Korea in the blood of its patriots. But
they will not daunt the freedom-loving Korean people.
In reply to the insolent aggression of the United States, the
Korean people will rally still more closely under the banner of
the_Korean People's Democratic Republic. They will intensify
their sacred struggle for the freedom, unity and independence of
the Motherland.
The Government of the Korean People's Democratic Republic
and the whole Korean people resolutely protest against the
barbarous bombing of Korean towns and villages, against the in-
human murder of peaceful inhabitants. We are confident that
all honest people of the world will indignantly condemn the
aggression of the American imperialists against the freedom-
loving Korean people. We are confident that our just cause will
find fervent sympathy in the hearts of all peoples.
MESSAGE OF KOREAN PEACE
COMMITTEE
On June 30 the Korean Peace Committee decided to send the
following message to the Permanent Committee of the World
Peace Congress:
IN an endeavour to let loose a new war for the achievement
of their aggressive aims and the conquest of world domina-
tion, the American imperialists, through the hated enemies of
the '.Korean people, the treachous Syngman Rhee clique, have
unleashed civil war in Korea. Already, before the publication

imperialists had begun making barbarous air, raids on peaceful
Korean towns and villages. This armed aggression and military
intervention of the American imperialists shows that they have
not only provoked civil war in our country, but have proceeded
to active military operations against the Korean people in order
to seize the whole territory of our country. This fact proves
also that the armed aggression of the American imperialists and
the igniting of civil war by the treacherous Syngman Rhee clique
was prepared a long time ago....
American bombers have raided Kaiseng, Yoenpu, Chunchen
and other liberated towns, mercilessly killing civilians-women,
old men and children. On June 29, aircraft of the American
imperialists made a raid on Phyeng-yang and other populated
ted
places situated north of the 38th Parallel. By their aggressive
actions in Korea the American imperialists have violated inter-
national law and the U.N. Charter. In their endeavour to carry
out their aggressive plans with regard to the Korean People's
Democratic Republic, the American imperialists are hoping to
restore their so-called "international prestige", which was under-
mined by the victory of the great Chinese people. .
They are using the war in Korea for aggression against the
Chinese People's Republic and the suppression of the national
liberation movement in Viet Nam, the Philippines and other
parts of South-East Asia, as well as in Japan. . . . The anger
and hatred of the Korean people towards the American impe-
rialists is very great. When they have destroyed the Syngman
Rhee clique, the Korean people will very quickly end the civil
warfare unleashed as a result of the intervention of the Ameri-
can imperialists.
The Korean people are fighting with all their might for a
speedy cessation of civil warfare. In response to the heroic
offensive, the patriots of the Motherland have made an upris-
ing in Tegu and Kvandiu and have launched partisan warfare
and uprisings in many other towns and populated places in
South Korea.
In reporting the above-mentioned events to the Permanent
Committee, the Korean Peace Committee asks the Permanent
Committe to examine the question of American aggression in
Korea and to adopt, in this connection, all measures the Com-
mittee may deem expedient. The Korean Peace Committee is
confident that the World Peace Congress, and all peace sup-
porters throughout the world, will raise their voices in protest
against the aggression of the warmongers in Korea, in defence
of the Korean people who are fighting for the unity, freedom
and independence of their Motherland.

On Jung 28.Chou 'En-lai, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese
People's Republic, made the following statement:
HAVING instigated the South Korean puppet Government of
Syngman Rhee to provoke civil war in Korea, Mr. Truman,
President of the United States, made a statement on June 27 that
the U.S. Government had decided to obstruct by armed force our
liberation of Formosa. On Truman's order the American Seventh
Fleet moved to the Formosan coast.
On behalf of the Central Government of the Chinese People's
Republic I declare that Truman's statement of June 27 and
the American Navy's actions constitute armed aggression against
Chinese territory and total violation of the United Nations
Charter.
This violent predatory action of the U.S. Government comes as
no surprise to the Chinese people but only increases their anger;
because the Chinese people have, over a long period constantly
exposed all the conspiratorial schemes of American imperialism
directed towards aggression against: China and towards the
forcible annexation of Asia. .
All Truman's statement does is openly to expose his pre-
meditated, plan and put it into practice.
In fact, the attack of the puppet Korean Government of
Syrigman Rlee on the Korean People's Democratic Republic,
made on the bidding of the U.S. Government, was a premeditated
move' of the U.S.A. designed to create a pretext for United States
invasion of Formosa, Korea, Viet Nam, and the Philippines.
It is precisely a further act of intervention of American im-
perialism in Asian affairs.
On behalf of the Central People's Government of the Chinese
People's Republic I declare that, no matter what obstructive
action the American imperialists may take, Formosa is part of
China and will remain so, for ever.
It is not only a historical fact; it has also been confirmed by
the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations and conforms to the situa-
tion, since the surrender of Japan. All the people of our country
will certainly fight as one man for the complete liberation of
Formosa from the grasp of the American aggressors.
The Chinese people, who defeated Japanese imperialism and
Chiang Kai-shek, the hireling of the American imperialists, will
surely be victorious in driving off the American aggressors and
recovering Formosa and all other territories. belonging to China

STATEMENT BY MAO TSE-TUNG
Speaking at the meeting of the Central People's Government Council
held on June 28, Mao Tse-tung, Chairman of the Central People's
Government Council, made the following statement:
THE Chinese people have already affirmed that 'the affairs of
the different countries throughout the world should be run
by the peoples of the respective countries themselves, and Asian
affairs should be run by the Asian peoples themselves and in
no way by the U.S.A. The U.S. aggression in Asia will only
arouse the extensive and resolute resistance of the Asian peoples.
On January 5, 1950, President Truman stated that America
would refrain from interference in Formosa. Now Truman has
torn to shreds all international agreements regarding non-inter-
ference by the U.S.A. in China's internal affairs. This open
exposure by the U.S.A. of its true imperialist face is beneficial
to the Chinese people and to the peoples or Asia.
There is no ground for American intervention in the internal
affairs of Korea, the Philippines, Viet Nam and other countries.
The sympathies of the people throughout China, and of the
broad masses all over the world, will be on the side of the
victims of aggression and certainly not on the side of American
imperialism. They will neither be bought by American imperial-
6tnnbr be duped by it.
Imperialism is outwardly strong but inwardly feeble, because
it has no support among the people.
People throughout China and the world l Unite and prepare
adequately to defeat any provocation of American imperialism!

KOREA VIOLATES U.N. CHARTER
Statement by International Association of Democratic
Lawyers
The International Association of Democratic Lawyers issued the
following statement on July 1:
ON June 25 the Security Council passed a resolution saying
that the actions of the armed forces of North Korea constitute
a breach of peace. This resolution was taken in violation of
the United Nations' Charter. Paragraph 3 of Article 27 requires
that such decisions of the Security Council should be made by
the affirmative vote of seven members, including the con-
curring votes of five permanent members. But the representative
of the Soviet Union-a permanent member of the Security
Council-was not present at this meeting.
On the other hand, Article 39 of the Charter, entitling the
Security Council to determine the existence of a threat to peace
or a breach of peace, refers to the existence of aggression on an
international plane and not to an internal conflict between two
opposing groups in one and the same country. Such a conflict
comes within the jurisdiction of the given country and therefore
a resolution taken on the basis of Article 39 of the Charter cannot
be justified. -
Finally, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers notes
that:
In accordance with Articles 42 and 43 of the United Nations
Charter, the Security Council alone can take the necessary action
to maintain or restore peace. The United Nations' members may
have recourse to armed intervention solely on the proposal of
the Security Council or by agreement with it, but by no means
of their own volition.

NAVAL BLOCKADE OF THE KOREAN
A COAST "A NEW ACT OF AGGRESSION"
Soviet Reply to U.S. Note
On July 4, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the U.S.S.R. received
from the United States Embassy - the following Note:
THE Ambassador of the United States of America presents his
compliments to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics, and, in accordance with instruc-
tions, has the honour to inform the Minister that the President
of the United States of America, in keeping with the United
Nations Security Council's request for support to the Republic
of Korea in repelling the North Korean invaders and restoring
peace in Korea, has ordered a naval blockade of the Korean
coast. This is effective immediately.
On July 6 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the U.S.S.R. forwarded
to the United States Embassy a Note of the following content:
T HE Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Union of Soviet Social-
ist Republics acknowledges receipt of the Embassy's Note
of July 4 of this year, and on the instruction of the Soviet Govern-
ment has the honour to state the following:
In the Note mentioned, the Embassy announces that the Presi-
dent of the United States of America has ordered a naval block-
ade of the Korean coast, alluding to the Security Council's
resolution on the Korean question.
The Soviet Government, in its reply of June 29 to the message
of the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Trygve Lie, has
already stated that the resolution mentioned of the Security
Council on the Korean question, adopted in violation of the
United Nations Charter, has no legal force and consequently
cannot serve as a legal basis for taking any measures whatsoever
with regard to Korea, including a naval blockade of Korea.
The blockade of Korea constitutes a new act of aggression.
This blockade is just as incompatible with the United Nations'
principles as is the entire armed intervention of the United States
in Korea.
Owing to the aforesaid, the Soviet Government will consider
the Government of the United States of America responsible for
all the consequences of this act and for all damage to the interests
of the Soviet`Union which may be caused in connection with the
carrying out of the above mentioned blockade.

STATEMENT ON KOREA BY
SECRETARIAT OF WORLD PEACE
COMMITTEE
THE Secretariat of the Permanent Committee of the World
Peace Congress has published its answer to the appeal of the
Korean Peace Committee. In its answer the Secretariat notes
that::.
1. The Government of the U.S.A. is responsible for military
-intervention in Korea by its land, naval and air forces;
2. The American Air Force is en
a
ed i
g
g
n mass bombing of
the Korean civilian population; .
3. in order to .justify this intervention the U.S. Government
and other Governments have violated the United Nations Charter
based on the rule of the unanimity of the five great Powers. This
action seriously encroaches on the authority of the United
Nations;
4. These Governments, in particular, have violated the prin-
eiple of the United Nations Charter according to which the
People's Government of Korea should have been heard before
any decision was taken;
5. Moreover, the U.S. Government has decided to despatch
its fleet to Taiwan (Formosa), to reinforce its troops in the Philip-
pines and to send a military mission to Indo-China, i.e. to inter-
vent also in the affairs of three other peoples of Asia.
The Secretariat stresses the increasing threat of an extension
of the conflict. It exposes the criminal proposals on using the
atom bomb and expresses its ardent sympathy and solidarity
with the Korean people, which is achieving its national unifica-
tion in the struggle against foreign intervention.
The Secretariat demands the cessation of the military inter-
vention of th@ U.S.A. in Korea so that the Korean peoples
thenlseJyes may become masters of their own destiny and achieve
unlf'tci}fiQn; freedom and independence.
The ,Secretariat calls upon all supporters of peace throughout
the world to intensify their activity in collecting signatures to the
Stockholm Appeal which is increasingly becoming the chief
means for achieving a decrease in international tension and for
achieving peace.

THE CHINESE PEOPLE ARE
DETERMINED TO LIBERATE TAIWAN
:. Chou En-Tai's Message to Trygve Lie
CHOU EN-LAI, Foreign Minister of the Chinese People's Republic,
has sent a message to Mr. Trygve Lie, Secretary-General of the
United Nations, for transmission to the members of the Security
Council. The message states:
ON behalf of the Central People's Government of the Chinese
People's Republic I declare that the resolution approved by
the Security Council on June 27, through the instigation and
manipulation of the American Government, which called on
members of the United Nations to render aid to the South
Korean authorities, was adopted with the aim of supporting
American armed aggression and constitutes intervention in the
internal affairs of Korea and also a violation of peace throughout
the world.
This resolution, having been adopted, moreover, in the absence
of two permanent members of the Security Council, the People's
Republic of China and the U.S.S.R., is obviously illegal. The
United Nations Charter stipulates that the United Nations shall
not be authorised to intervene in matters which are essentially
within the internal jurisdiction of any State, whereas the resolu-
tion of the Security Council on June 27 precisely violates this
important principle of the United Nations Charter. Therefore
the resolution of the Security Council with regard to the Korean
question is not only devoid of any validity, but does great harm
to the United Nations Charter. The action by Mr. Trygve Lie,
Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the Korean question
still further increases this harm.
Meanwhile the statement by the United States President Tru-
man on June 27 on the prevention by force of arms of the libera-
tion of Ta.iwan* by the Chinese People's Republic, together with
the action of the United States Navy in invading Chinese terri-
torial waters around Taiwan, constitutes an act of open aggres-
sion which clearly violates the principle of the United Nations
Charter forbidding any member to use force against the terri-
torial integrity and political independence of any other State.
Taiwan is an inseparable part of the territory of China. This
is not only an historical fact recognised by the whole world, but
is also confirmed by the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Declara-
tion and the situation since the surrender of Japan. By keeping
silent on this act of open aggression by the United States Govern-
*Taiwan (Formosa).

ments of the policy of the United States Government.

are filled with determination to liberate Taiwan without fail.
APPEAL TO ALL THE KOREAN PEOPLE
By Kim Ir Sen, f.ornrnander-in-Chief of Korean
eople's Army
Phyeng-yank radio has broadcast an appeal in the Korean people
made by Kim Ir Sen, Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People's
.Army. The appeal says:
J)EAR. compatriots! Beloved brothers and sisters! Glorious
men and commanders of the People's Army! Men and
women guerillas operating in the South! The American im-
perialists have begun an armed attack against our country, on
our people. Their air force is barbarously bombing our towns
and villages, killing the peaceful population. Naval squadrons
of the American imperialists, wh!ch illegally intruded into our
territorial waters, are mercilessly firing on our coastal towns
and villages. Units of American ground forces landed on
territory still not liberated in the South of our country, and
are trampling the soil of our Motherland under their blood-
stained feet.
Why did the American imperialists send their troops to our
beloved land? Why did they attack our sacred soil like
brigands? Dreaming of world domination, the American im-
perialists have done this in order to turn our Motherland into
their colony for ever, and us, the people, into their slaves. Such
is their object.
For its achievement the. American imperialists in the South
of our Motherland placed in power the rabid enemy of the
Korean people, Syngman Rhee, and installed a puppet Govern-
ment in Southern Korea. For the achievement of their object
the American imperialists, by means of terror, murders, threats
and deception, prevented and thwarted the peaceful unification
of our Motherland. They egged on their agent Syngman Rhee
to the kindling of civil war and brutally attacked its with their
armed forces.
The American imperialists have r.o regard for the real rights
of the Korean people, the freedom and independence of our

and hey o not consider Koreans to a poop e. e
American brigands think that the Korean people have no other
fate than to be colonial slaves, in order to fill still more the
blood-stained pockets of the Wall Street traders.
The American. imperialist invaders are turning our peaceful
towns and villages into their military bases and places d'armes
for practical military operations, and our children, women and
old folk into targets for aerial gunfire and bombing.
North of the 38th Parallel, the towns of Phyeng-yang, Chin-
nampo and others, as well as suburban villages, have repeatedly
been subjected to bombing. South of the 38th Parallel, the
already liberated town of Seoul and numerous other towns
and villages are being subjected to fierce bombing by American
military planes.
The murderers are machine-gunning women who are work-
ing diligently in the paddy-fields and are dropping bombs on
the heads of children and adolescents. The American im-
perialist invaders, barbarously murdering the population, are
employing the methods of the hiders and their fascists and
the brigand Japanese imperialists.
The American imperialists attempt to cloak their barbarous
armed agression in Korea by the decision of the Security
Council on the so-called Korean question. The so-called
decision of the Security Council was adopted in violation of
the United Nations Charter, without the participation of repre-
sentatives of Korea, and also without the participation of repre-
sentatives of the Soviet Union and China.
The object of the American imperialist armed attack on
Korea is clear to people throughout the world. No one will be
deceived by the statement of the American imperialists that
American troops, in the name of the United Nations organisa-
tion, are carrying out "police" functions in Korea. The
American imperialist invaders, under the flag of the United
Nations Organisation, are carrying out raids against our towns
and villages; they are making war in order to kill our people
who desire freedom, unity and independence.
In dropping their bombs on the heads of the Koreans the
American imperialists also say that they do this in the name
of "peace". But they will deceive no one by this. These
aggressive methods have already been widely employed by the
fore-runners of American imperialism - the Hitlerite fascists,
and the Japanese imperialists. As the entire world knows,
Hitler said, "When I speak of peace I think of war."
The Japanese imperialists cloaked their aggression with false
declarations about "peace in Asia". On August 29, 1910, the
Japanese Emperor declared in his Decree that Japan was

annexing Korea in order to establish enduring peace in tb,e
East, explaining the annexation by alleging that Korea was
supposed to be a threat to peace in the East.
Today the American imperialists who are attempting to take
away the independence of our Motherland for the purpose of
turning it into their colony, like the Hitlerite fascists and the
Japanese imperialists, shamelessly endeavour to cloak their
armed intervention in the internal affairs of our Motherland
and their barbarous bombing of our peaceful cities by declara-
tions about peace.
The armed attack by the American imperialists on Korea is a
wicked violation of international law and' the United Nations
Charter.
Although the American imperialists have perpetrated an
armed attack against us, they cannot smash the fighting spirit
of the Korean people, who are devoted to the freedom and in-
dependence of people, Motherland. The entire Korean people,
roused to the common war fortl~.e honour, freedom and itrde-
pendence of their Motherland, will fight to"the death against the
aggression of American imperialism, and will achieve victory.
Our People's Army, fighting for the liberation of the Mother-
land, despite its youth and inexperience, it displaying courage,
devotion and heroism and has already achieved considerable
successes.
The troops of our army are fig~ting not. for dollars and not
in order to subjugate other peoples, as the American hired mur-
derers are doing, but in order to defend their Motherland, to
defend the freedom and indepen 5ence of their people. Our
fighters are imbued with the spirit of atriotism, heroism and,
courage. The troops of the American aggressors are fighting on
foreign territory. -Our People's Army, enjoying the love, concern
and support of all the people, is fighting a the territory of its
Motherland.
The army of the American aggressors isj hated by the whole
of our people. At each step vengeance awaits it for the crimes
it has committed. The armed intervention of the United States
of America in Korea has brought to the limit the wrath of the
Korean people and their hatred of the American imperialist
aggressors and colonisers and their South Korean hirelings.
Our heroic youth in a wide stream are voluntarily flocking to
the People's Army, and the number of volunteers has exceeded
500,000. In the districts liberated by the People's Army the en-
tire population gives a warm welcome to tic glorious People's
Army which has liberated it from the Syngman Rhee police
regime. The liberated people are r-storing the people's commit-
tees which were disbanded by the reaction and are putting into

ec~ a ons i u u e e
Republic, which ensures the freedom and rights of the people.
The peasants of the liberated districts, by Decree of the
Presidium of the Supreme National Assembly of the Korean
People's Democratic Republic, are starting to carry out land re-
form: All the land belonging to the American imperialists, the
Syngman Rhee puppet' Government, Korean landowners and
national traitors, is confiscated and is transferred to the perpetual
use of the peasants without compensation.
. The victories of the People's Army, the unanimous support
given it by the entire Korean people, prove the stability of, the
Korean People's Democratic Republic and bear witness to the
fact that the entire Korean people fully supports the policy
of the Government of the Korean People's Democratic
Republic, which is defending the unity, freedom and indepen-
dence of our Motherland against the infamous design of the
American imperialists to enslave our Motherland and deprive
the Korean people of independence, and against their armed
invasion of the territory of our Motherland.
In order to save the Syngman Rhee clique, which carried
out the American policy in Korea and has now suffered defeat,
the American imperialists are intensifying armed aggression
against the Korean people. Were it not for the direct armed
intervention by American imperialism, the civil war provoked
in our country by the servitors of American imperialism would
long since have ended. The unification of our land would have
long since been completed and the population of Southern
Korea would have long since completely liberated itself from
the reactionary police regime of the Syngman Rhee traitors.
The armed attack by the American imperialists on Korea has
aroused the indignation of democratic public opinion through-
out the world. Our great and just cause enjoys the ardent support
and sympathy of the peace-loving people of the entire world.
Dear compatriots! Brothers and sisters! The malicious
enemies of the freedom and independence of the Korean people,
the American imperialists, have stretched out their tentacles to _
our Motherland in order to enslave her. The entire Korean
people, united like one man, must answer by a decisive blow,
the blow of the American imperialists. The American imperial-
ists will undoubtedly learn how great and inexhaustible is the
strength, and how unshakable is the fighting spirit, of the Korean
people, fighting for the freedom and independence of their
Motherland.
Our people will under no circumstances once more become a
colonial slave. All who hold dear the glory, freedom and inde-
pendence of their Motherland must rise against the armed attack

of the American imperialists. All must take part in the sacrr3
war of liberation of our Motherland.
Kim Ir Sen called on the people of Korea, the men and cotn-
rnanders of the People's Artny, men and women guerillas, to
multiply their efforts for the complete defeat of the enemy, and
concluded by saving:
Let us wage our just liberation struggle to the end. Forward
to victory! Long live free and independent Korea!
SYNGMAN RHEE'S PREPARATIONS FOR
TIl E ATTACK ON NORTH KOREA
Revelations by his "Minister of the Interior"
KIM I SEK, until the spring "Minister of the Interior" of the
puppet Syngrnan Rhee Governrnent, has broadcast over Seoul radio
an exposure of the treacherous activity of Syngrnan Rhee, who
unleashed war in Korea on Washington's direct bidding. Kim I Sek
declared:
IT is well-known that Syngman ;Thee became President of the
puppet Government under the slogan "Offensive against the
North." The Syngman Rhee clique, already shortly after the
holding of the falsified separate elections; intended to launch
an offensive against the North. I directly participated in the
preparations for this offensive, which was scheduled for July 15,
1949.
At that time Syngrnan Rhee ordered Kim Sek Won to attack
the North in the area of Ongjin and to capture Phyeng-yang,
and Tsai Ben Dek to command the central front. However,
this plan could not, be realised owing to the greatly intensified
guerilla struggle. If it had not been for the energetic actions
of the guerillas, who threatened the rear, and if there had been
sufficient forces available at that lime, the offensive against the
North would have started in July of last year.
Despite the fact that the plan of the July offensive of last
year was disrupted the Syngman Rhee clique did not for a
moment halt their preparations for an offensive against the
North. In the preparations for this internecine war I also
took an active part. As is well known, on General MacArthur's
invitation Syngman Rhee visited Japan this spring. There he
received an order from MacArth _ir to put his army at Mac-
Arthur's disposal for the duration of the "campaign against
the North" and to conduct joint trsining of officers of so-called
"army of national defence" and those of the Japanese Army.
Syngman Rhee complied with tha order, being convinced that,

vsihen he 'started his campaign agai s
and
receive the support of
Japan, and hate he was bound to
an Army of volunteers the,
win the war.
That is why Syngman Rhee ordered Kim Sek Won and Tsai
Ben Dek at dawn on June 25 to launch an offensive against
North Korea. According to the words of Kim Sek Won him-
self, the plan of operations consisted in advancing from Ong
jin to capture Hai Chiu (Kaisu) and later Phyeng-yang, and in
support of this operation to start an offensive on the eastern
front extending over the whole of the 38th Parallel.
Despite all this it is being declared that the war was started
by North Korea. This is an unpardonable lie. This is a base
provocation of the American imperialists and the Syngman
Rhee clique who want to saddle others with the responsibility
for the war that they themselves unleashed.
The entire responsibility for the present war rests with Syng-
man Rhee's clique and his masters, the American imperialists.
For a long time I fabricated false rumours about Northern
Korea, without understanding the real conditions there. Now
I can see the happy life of the people liberated from the terror
of the barbarous clique of Syngman Rhee.
In conclusion, Kim 1 Sek called on all those who had pur-
sued the road of treason to admit their guilt before the people's
power and to start a new life.

:LAND REFORM DECREE FOR
SOUTHERN KOREA
The Presidium of the Supreme National Assembly of the
Korean People's Democratic Republic has passed a Decree on
conducting a land reform in the Southern part of the Republic.
On the basis of Article 7 of the Constitution of the Korean
People's Democratic Republic, the Decree says, land reform
will be carried out in the Southern part of the Republic. This
reform is to be carried out on the principle of the confiscation
of land without compensation and its distribution free of charge
among the landless and small peasants.
In accordance with the Decree, all land owned by the
American imperialists, the Syngman Rhee Government and its
organs, firms and companies, the estates of Korean landowners
as well as plots of land rented out permanently, regardless of
their size are subject to confiscation. The renting out of land is
abolished forever.
The confiscated land is to be distributed among small and
landless peasants and to agriculaural workers. Land can be
owned by anyone who tills it himself. All debts for land are
cancel led.
The Decree stipulates the abolition of all taxes which existed
under the puppet regime and lays down that the peasants in
the, Southern part of the Republic: are to pay to the State only
one single tax of the same amount as already established in
the Northern part of the Republic.
With a view to raising as quickly as possible the living stan-
dards of the peasants in the liberated areas, the Presidium of
the Supreme National Assembly of the Korean People's
Democratic Republic instructed tiie Cabinet of Ministers con-
siderably to reduce the amount of tax paid in kind for 1950. The
Decree establishes the order in which the reform is to be
effected and charges the Cabinet of Ministers with the working
out of special instructions on putting this Decree into practice.

"The Security Council, having determined that the armed
attack upon the Republic of Korea by forces from North
Korea constitutes a breach of peace, having recommended
that the members of the United Nations furnish such assis-
tance to the Republic of Korea as may be necessary to repel
the armed attack and to restore international peace and
security in the area,
"1. Welcomes the prompt and vigorous support which the
Governments and peoples of the United Nations have given
to its resolutions of June 25 and 27, 1950, to assist the
Republic of Korea in defending itself against armed attack
and thus to restore international peace and security in the
area,
"2. Notes that members of the United Nations have trans-
mitted to the United Nations offers of assistance for the
Republic of Korea,
"3. Recommends that all members providing military forces
and other assistance pursuant to the aforesaid Security Council
resolutions make such forces and other assistance available
to the unified command under the United States,
"4. Requests the United States to designate the Commander
of such forces,
"5. Authorises the unified command, at its discretion, to
use the United Nations flag in the course of operations against
the North Korean forces concurrently with the flags of various
nations participating,

Council with reports, as appropriate, on the course of action
taken under the unified command."

MR. TRYGVE LIE, Secretary-General of the United Nations
Organisation, New York.
The Soviet Government has received your telegram 'which
gives the text of the Security Council's resolution of July 7
with regard to placing armed forces and other means at the
disposal of the so-called "Unified Command under the United
States", to requesting the United States to designate the com-
mander for such forces and to using the United Nations flag
passed with the same gross violations of theUnited Nations
Charter as was also the Security Council's-'
ouncil's resolution on the
Korean problem of June 27. This resolution was taken in the
absence of two permanent memhers of the Security Council-
the Soviet Union and China--and furthermore by only six votes,
with the participation of a seventh-a Kuomintangite--who has
no lawful right to represent Chira.
In view of the said circumstances it is clear that this decision
of the Security Council cannot have legal force either.
Furthermore, the Soviet Government deems it necessary to
call attention to the following:
The aforesaid resolution of the Security Council aims at un-
lawfully using the United Nations flag to cover the armed actions
of the United States in Koren, which constitute direct aggression
on the part of the United States with regard to the Korean
people.
All. this gives ground for the Soviet Government to declare
that the Security Council's decision of July 7 is, firstly, unlaw-
ful and, secondly represents direct support to the armed aggres-
sion against the Korean people.

July 10. 96,360,866 Soviet citizens have signed the Appc21.
According to reports received from the committees set up to,'
assist the Soviet Peace Committee the overwhelming majority of
citizens have already signed the Appeal in many big industrial
centres of the country: in Mcscow, Leningrad, Kiev,, Minsk,'
Baku, Tbilisi, Tashkent, Riga, Stalingrad, Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk,
Gorky, Kharkov, Kuibyshev, Kazan, Odessa, Stalino and Rostov.
The campaign for the collection of signatures is everywhere
proceeding in an atmosphere of great political and labour en-
thusiasm. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet people have spoken
at meetings and gatherings. Workers, peasants, intellectuals,
Soviet women and youth warmly approve the peaceful policy of
the Soviet Government and proclaim the unanimous readiness
of the working people of the U.S.S.R., together with the peoples
of other countries, to defend the cause of peace and international
security.
Speaking at mass meetings and gatherings, Soviet people con-
demn the action of the American warmongers who have begun
open intervention in Korea. and they demand the cessation of
armed aggression against the freedom-loving Korean people.
In signing the Appeal the people declare their fervent desire
to defend the cause of peace by self-sacrificing labour aimed at
consolidating the might of the Scviet State as the bastion of uni-
versal peace. At mills and factories, on collective farms, at
machine and tractor stations and State farms, the people are
organising Stakhanovite "peace shifts", striving to overfulfil pro-
dcuction costs. In the districts of the country where the harvest
has begun State grain deliveries ahead of time are being
organised.
The successful course of the collection of signatures to the
Stockholm Appeal in the U.S.S.R. is a powerful demonstration
of the moral and political unity of Soviet society, of the devo-
tion of the Soviet people to their Government, the Bolshevik
Party and the great standard-bearer of peace, Comrade Stalin.
The collection of signatures to the Appeal of the Permanent
Committee of the World Peace Congress for the prohibition of
the atomic weapon continues.
