GENERAL
as

at

the

aroused
rather
more
excitement
than
they
need
have
done.
For,
surely,
we
should
by
now
have
become
used,
if
-not
reconciled,
to
the
general's
fondness
for
discussing
publicly
what
the
State
Department
acidly
describes
as
"political
issues
which
are
beyond
his
responsibility
as
field
commander."
It
is
an
embarrassing
habit
most
of
all,
one
surmises,
to
the
U.S.
government.
But
the
general's
utterances
and
the
general's
views
are
his
own
personal
ones.
They
are
not,
as
it
were,
ex-cathedra
statements
by
the
commander
of
the
United
Nations
forces.
They
do
not
reflect
or
represent
the
views
of
either
the
U.S.
government
or
the
other
governments
taking
part
in
the
Korean
operations
or
the
'United
Nations
Assembly.
What
are
those
views
at
present?
There
is
no
reason
to
suppose
that
they
have
changed
materially.
It
is
known
that
for
some
little
time
the
idea
has
been
under
consideration
of
issuing
a
new
statement
cf
policy
either
by
the
Assembly
or
by
the
governments
engaged
in
Korea.
But
there
is
no
reason
to
suppose
that
this
would
be
more
than
a
restatement
:
of
the
things
already
said
:

up
its

During
this

through
the

whether
the
