How far should peace in Korea be used to support demands for peace in Indochina, which the Eisenhower administration has treated as part of the same Far Eastern pattern? 4. In Korea itself what kind of terms should be insisted' upon for a peace settlement as opposed to a military truce? The official United Nations policy is to seek unification of all Korea. It seems likely that initially the U. S. would go into negotiations maintaining that policy.

But if the Reds will have none of it, some responsible persons believe this country could and should consider a more limited territory for the anti-Communist government of South Korea.
