Blunder in Korea
Stewart, Maxwell S. | May 22, 1948 issue

It gives most people in the U.S. a start to realize that the U.S. was rapidly losing the cold war in Korea. On the surface the recent elections seemed a triumph for the U.S. diplomacy, and they have been so interpreted in the press. But while the U.S. have been scoring a few technical points, Soviet Union has run away with the game. The statement of principles for an all-Korean government issued by the North-South conference at Pyongyang on May 1 has not only won general approval in North Korea but substantial support from right, moderate, and left groups in the South. And the Soviet government's prestige has been greatly enhanced by its announcement that it was ready to withdraw its troops in response to the conference's demand.
