This article focuses on the reaction of the British people when North Korean troops crossed the Thirty-eighth Parallel. The lessons of the events, which preceded the last world war, have been learned. But, this acknowledged, doubts about many phases of the Korean conflict both large in the minds of British progressives and Socialists. It would have been easy if North Korea had been a cruel Communist police state and if South' Korea had been a tolerant liberal democratic state. North Korea is a police state, both cruel and efficient, but South Korea has also been a police state, if not so efficient, certainly often as cruel.
