Secretary General Trygve Lie indicated the Korean war need not end decisively but settlement depends on North Korean withdrawal to the 38th parallel. He cited UN troop recruitment efforts led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur and pledges of force from Britain, Australia, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Thailand, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States, with more governments consulting Washington. Lie declined comment on the Russians’ return to the Security Council and suggested he could convene the General Assembly on 24 hours notice if Near East developments worsen. He endorsed defense pacts like the North Atlantic and Malik Pact, while noting Western democracies must balance guidance and build up efforts.
