The Brethren Service Commission proposes to the General Brotherhood Board the following statement on: POLICE ACTION IN KOREA - some quotes follow: The military action by the United Nations in Korea has been called the first instance of police action by an international organization against aggression. It deserves study, as it raises new problems and new responsibilities for those who on religious grounds hold to the conscientious objector's position against war. ... In contract to a sincere co-operation on world problems, we must recognize the Korean Difficulty as a result of the power struggle between U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. ... However laudable the purposes of the Korean action by UN, the conflicgt has taken on the essential features of war ... Convinced that God is love and every person of measureless worth, an also determined to follow our Lord who taught not to kill, not to resist him that is evil, and not even to hate, the Brethren find it impossible to sanction the use of military action under any banner. We would not do evil in order that good may result. We must not inflict suffering or hardship on any people in the hope of doing greater good to a larger number...
