...almost without realizing it, is heading towards a new bilateralism. Acting alone, Washington guaranteed Formosa, pledged aid to Syngman Rhee, expects to sign a treaty with Franco Spain. This week the U.S. and its U.N. allies disagreed publicly in the U.N. General Assembly: though some clucked over this trend, and others were made nervous by it, it brought a refreshing new realism into events...
ARGUMENT No. 2 was over India. Washington worried that the Indians might turn out to be "neutral on the side of the Communists." Syngman Rhee was quite likely to boycott the conference if the Indians were seated...
Fresh from his trip out on the line in Asia, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles flew home this week, bringing the results of his conferences with Syngman Rhee: a hard and fast treaty of alliance between the U.S. and the Republic of South Korea, which assures the Koreans of U.S. military protection, without binding the U.S. to support any vagaries of Rhee's foreign policy.

When the political conference fails, insisted Rhee (he said "when," not "if"), South Korea wants to resume the war to unify Korea. The U.S., he insisted, had committed itself to joining him in resuming the war. The U.S. had made no such flat promise. On the other side of the globe, the British rose to a gentlemanly boil when they read that John Foster Dulles...
