UN force in Korea would form into real police army if fighting lasts
The article argues that a genuine United Nations fighting force could emerge in Korea if the war continues long enough to assemble troops. It contends the UN needs instant military capability, as ceasefire talk failed without force, and that delaying the police force’s deployment worsens the task. It warns aggressors may seize objectives first, making later restoration harder.
