E. Your side arbitrarily reduced the boundaries of the airfields, thereby restricting the scope of the mobile inspection team inspection. F. Your side prepared false testimony by long, detailed coaching of probable witnesses and by substituting politically indoctrinated higher ranking officers for lower ranking officers by switching insignias. G. Your side delayed the assembly of newly arrived combat aircraft at Taechon by leaving them in their crates until the mobile inspection team investigations were completed. Senior Lieutenant Lee (a North Korean defector) who reads Russian, noticed the wording, "Kiev Aircraft Factory" on tags attached to one of his unit's combat aircraft. This aircraft's logbook showed that the plane left the Russian factory in March 1955. The most important charge of all in terms of long-range significance, however, was the accusation General Parks made against the Czechoslovakian and Polish Communists who were members of the so-called Neutral Nations Commission. General Parks flatly stated that the Czechs and Poles vetoed inspection trips to North Korea when they were able to do so, stalled the inspections they could not prevent, and practiced outright collusion with their Chinese and North Korean comrades to conceal evidence of treaty violations. This brings me to the fundamental issues that face the peoples of the world in connection with any effort to arrive at a workable agreement with communism. Is the signature of any Communist Government on any document worth the paper it is written on? When a Communist Government does sign an agreement, what can non-Communist nations do to see that the agreement is kept? Until we can find satisfactory answers to these questions, it is futile to direct our efforts toward adding to the accumulation of documents which have already been signed and violated by the U. S. S. R. and other Communist countries. The signatories of the Atlantic Charter promised that— First, their countries seek no aggrandizement, territorial or other; Second, they desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned; Third, they respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self-government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them. If the U. S. S. R. would just live up to that pact, the greatest obstacles to world peace would disappear.
