Nam 11, opened the Monday afternoon ses sion by proposing these two "prin ciples:" 1. Agreement by, both sides "not to introduce into Korea any military forces, weapons and am munition under any pretext;" 2. Both sides "to invite repre sentative nations neutral in the Korean war to form a supervi• sory organ to be responsible fo3 conducting necessary inspections beyond. the demilitarization zone of such ports of entry in the rem as mutually agreed upon by both sides, and to report to the joint armistice commission the result of inspection."
