Bevin. opening I two-day debate in the Commons on foreign af- fairs. said he did not pretend to know the Chinese motives or in- tentions in Korea. and asked:

"Is this move into Korea part of the grand strategy for a bigger purpose? is there a Russian- Chinese conspiracy on a world- wide scale?"

He asserted he did not wish at this stage to go into details of any possible political solutions.

Would Admit Red China

Britain has recognized Commun- ist China and has I charge d'af- fairea in Peiping, but full diplo- matic relations have not been es- tebiishcd.

Through his representative in Pciping Bevin recently sent a per- sonal message to Chinese leaders reaffirming the U. N. objectives of peace. unity and independence for Korea.

Britain also favored the admis- sion of Communist China to the U., N. as a replacement for Na- tionalist China. She has repeated- ly plugged for a buffer area in North Korea to allay Chinese fears of I U. N. invasion of Chinese ter- ritory.

Referring to China's seat In the U. N., Bevin said "Indeed. I be- lieve that some of the difficulties with which we are now faced In the Far East, would have been avoided if there had been these up- gvagqtunitia for mutual on

Tells chiiise Reds Hour Of -Decisionjere

was:-rmcvmn. Nov. 29 - (A P)" - State Acheson told the world tonight the Korean crisis has created a "situation of unparalleled danger." and that "no one can guarantee that war will not come."

United States history shows, Acheson said. that Americans will fight if they must to preserve freedom and justice.

Hour of Decision

He solemnly called on the Chin- ese Communists to end their "bra- zen aggression" in Korea. telling them that this is their hour of de- cision and that they "stand before the judgment bar of mankind."

He urged them to show in the United Nations that they "repre- sent their own interests" and are

not mere dupes of the soviet Union. "An act. of brazen aggression

has taken place in Korea. the sec- ond auch act. in five months." Acheson said in a country-wide broadcast speech. It was to be car- ried on the trans-Canada network of the CBCJ

"If ever a time imposed a test. not alone of strength. but of character. upon our people, this is such a time." he said.

"All the resources at our com- mand. of wisdom. of conscicnc of character: the finest traditions of our people: our deepest wells of faith. must guide us in fulfilling the responsibility which history has placed upon our country."

covers Prince Edward Island Lik?the' De?

OTTAWA, Nov. 29 - (OF) --The railways have been asked by the Board of Transport Commissioners to draft by mid-January a plan for the equalization of freight rates be- tween various parts of Canada.

The plan will not necessarily be adopted. it has been requested by the board for study as part ofits general freight.-rate inquiry aimed at. equalizing rates.

The Board session here Jan. 15 will be the first public hearing in the inquiry, which up to now has been confined to private investiga- tion by the Beard members and their staff of experts. it is expected to be the first in a series of sittings that may possibly extend to differ- ent sections of the country as well as the capital.

The equalization inquiry was launched by the Board in 1948 on instructions from the Federal Can- inet. following complaints from several Provinces of inequalities and "discrimination" in freight rates as between different regions.

Chief complainants were the Western Provinces. which contend- ed their general level of rates was higher than in the Eastern Prov- inces, particularly Ontario and

11191

Quebec. The Board was asked to conduct a sweeping survey with I view to levelling off rates generally.

While no details have been made Public. it is known that the rail- ways have been working on equal- ization plans or their own for at least. two years. They made refer- ence to such I scheme in g 1948 application for higher freight rates. though they did not advise the Board of its nature.

It. is this plan which the Trans- port. Commissioners now wish to have filed with them by Jan. 25.

Provincial Attorneys-General have been advised by the Board of the new move, and the hearings may touch off another in the series of freight-rate battles that have been waged between the railways and seven Provinces for the last four years.

The Provinces that. have been

elude all but Ontario. Quebec and Newfoundland.

Up to now. they have not taken part in the Board's general rate in- quiry. confining their submissions to the Royal Commission on Trans- portation. which -has been holding a wider investigation into trans- portation problems generally.

British Troops Go Into Action On Blazing Front

Predicts Boost In

.. . , . . , ,

- Donald Gordon. presiden of the ganadian National Rail- II-ays,r.satd today that a further rise in freight rates is Inevitable when the railways raise wages and put the 40-hour week into effect.

"I am not prepared to say to

but the matter is under close examination now." said Mr. Gordon, in Winnipeg for. I speaking engagement.

The O.N.R. president said the question is being held in abeyance until Mr. Justice Rd... Kelloclr announces his arbitra- tion llndinga,on last August's -rail dispute.

trap it against the Yellow See.

Two us. divisions escaped cast

across the Changchun River from exposed positions, faced the menacing sweep of Red

columns 30 miles southeast of the

main river crossing. Nearing Pyongyang

Pounding down from the north- east. through a gap they ripped in

the Allied centre, the Chinese were ”

nearing sinchang. There is only 30 miles northeast of Pyongyang. for- mer North Korean capital.

The Chinese there were only 1'1 miles east of one of two main sup- ply lines between Pyongyang and the blazing front. The second and major supply route is 18 miles rar- thor west.

Allied troops in the centre along the Chongchon fought in near zero weather against wave on wave of Chinese. who came on heedless of heavy losses.

The frontline situation was mimi- ful of the bitter holding battles the Allies fought against outnumbering North Korean forces in the early days of the war in South Korea. Field commanders considered the situation crucial.

The Red counter-offensive hid rolled the U. 8. Eighth Army's right flank back about 20 miles since it
