RESTRICTED
which has predominated in Soviet propaganda on Korea from the outset: the "world-
wide wave of protest" against U.S. aggression. The official approval of the U.N.
action by non-Soviet members is not explained away; it is simply ignored. The recent
offers of troops by the British Commonwealth, Turkey and Siam are also ignored, and
the position is maintained that there has been no response to "the insistent demands
of the U.S. aggressors that other U.N. members send troops."
STALIN, NEHRU AND ACHESON: The episode is made much of as new proof of the
simple Soviet thesis that Stalin wants peace and Acheson wants war.
STOCKHOLM APPEAL: Although the Stockholm Appeal predates the Korean war and says
nothing about which side is in the wrong even on the atomic issue, Moscow continually
uses the "hundreds of millions" of signatures to it as proof that the peoples of the
world condemn the U.S. action in Korea.
THE RACIAL ASPECT: Until this week Moscow has said little about American
attitudes of racial superiority to the Koreans. This week, however, there are at
least two passing references to an American attitude of superiority to the Koreans as
"the lowest race."
