and the Indian ambassador in Peiping.
On July 13th the Indian government delivered to the US and the USSR
notes reported to contain a plea that the US and the USSR do everything
possible to prevent the Korean war from spreading, and suggesting that
the Chinese Communists be admitted to the UN as a prerequisite to
négotiations on the subject. The text of the appeal was not made
public at the time, but Indian and US diplomatic officials stated that
it did not contain an Indian offer to act as mediator.
On the 14th a State Department spokesman said that the US regarded the
UN as the "proper forum" for settling the Korean issue, that the US

38th parallel.
Also on the 14th 23 members of the British Labor party submitted a
motion in the House of Commons urging the British government to seek
a peaceful settlement in the Korean conflict. The government was
asked to use its efforts "to limit the area of conflict;" to bring
about a cease-fire and mediation "under the authority of the UN;" to
"urge the withdrawal of US forces from Formosa;' to secure the
admission of the Chinese Communist government into the Security Council;
and "to take the initiative in bringing about an early meeting of

Stalin sent a message to Nehru on July 15th, welcoming the Indian
initiative in endeavoring to restore peace, and agreeing with its
"point of view regarding the expediency of a peaceful ettlement of
the Korean question through the Security Council with the obligatory
participation of representatives of the five great powers, including
the People's Government of China." Stalin said further: "I believe
that to secure a speedy settlement of the Korean question, it would
be expedient to hear representatives of the Korean people in the
Security Council.
DGA replies
On July 18th DGA replied to Nehru's appeal of the 13th in a note that
stated, in part: "The purpose of the US Government and of the American
people with respect to Korea is to support by all means at our disposal
the determination of the UN to repel the armed attack upon Korea and
to restore international peace and security to the area. It is painful
to realize that there could have long since been a restoration of peace
and the saving of the lives of those fighting on behalf of the UN had
not a small minority of the UN failed to meet their obligations under
the Charter and refused to use their authority and influence to prevent
or stop the hostilities.
"We do not believe that the termination of the aggression from northern
Korea can be contingent in any way upon the determination of other
questions which are currently before the UN. There has not been at
