Australian Calls for Destruction of North Korean Army
Australian Foreign Minister Percy C. Spender urged the United Nations to destroy the North Korean army as a fighting force to prevent future aggression. He argued the 38th parallel crossing by South Korean forces was to pacify Korea and that no permanent large UN troops should remain in the region. Canada backed the eight‑nation plan for postwar elections supervised by a UN commission, while India prepared to press for strict UN supervision of elections. Russia rejected the eight‑nation plan and reiterated its own seven‑point Korea program during the debate.

U N forces ignore Chou En-lai's weekend broadcast, while B 211s hit targets above the deadline. Mackenzie calls Chou's statement thinly veiled propaganda and ties China's stance to Moscow's lead, with Mao Zedong a key figure. He suggests China aims to follow Soviet strategy and questions Beijing's claimed distance from Moscow.
