FUTURE OF KOREA
MR. ROOSEVELT'S PROMISE CAUSES ELATION (Rec. 1 p.m.) CHUNGKING, February 24.
The Korean revolutionary headquarters is elated by President Roosevelt's promise of freedom for Korea through the application of the principles of the Atlantic Charter to the whole world after the war.
It is expected that the Chinese Government will early extend its recognition to the Korean provisional government which was recently formed at Chungking, headed by Mr. Kirn Koo. Mr. Koo is forming an independent Korean Army, and is now recruiting soldiers from guerrilla bands in the north-west provinces and urging Koreans in the Chinese army to be transferred to an independent army. It is also hoped that 40,000 Koreans in the Soviet Far East Army will be allowed to join the independent army.
