Commender in northern Korea has refused to permit freedom
of movement and free economic exchange betwoon these zones.
This has precluded freely choson political agalgamation of
the Korean people and has resulted in grave oconomio
distress.
The policy of the United States toward Kores has the follow-
ing basic objectives:
One. To assist in the establishment as soon as practicable
of a self-governing sovereign Korea, independent of foreign
control and eligible for membership in the United Nations;
Two. To insure that the National Government so established
shall be representative of the freely expressed will of the
Korean people.
Three. To aid the Koreans in building a sound economy es
an essentiel basis for their independent and democratic
state.
The United States, in the Cairo Declaration of 1 December,
1943, declared its determination that in due course, Korea
should become free and independent. The United Kingdom
and the Republic of China vere parties to the same
declaration. The Cairo Declaration was spesificaIly
affirmed by the Three Powers in the Potsdam Declaration
which defined terms for the Japanese surrenier. The USSR
in its declaration of war on Japan on Augus$ 8, 1945,
declared its adheronce to these declarations
Upon the surrender of Japan, United States and Soviet
forces acpepted the surronder of Japanese forces 1n Kores
in the areas respectively south and north of a line
arbitrarily assigned for this purpose, the thirty-eighth
degree parallel. This line of demarcation became in
effect a boundary between zones of occupation. At the
conference of the Foreign Ministers of the US, UK and USSR
in Moscow in December, 1945, the serious consequences of the
bi-zonal division of Korea were discussed and an agreement
