-3-#1149, April 2, 4 p.M., from Moscow.
regarding Korea was reached and published in part three of
the Communique of the Conference. The Republic of China
subsequently subscribed to this agreement.
On March 20, 1946, the Joint US-USSR Commission appointed
under the terms of the Moscow Agreement met and began
its task, as outlined in the agreement, of assisting in
the formation of a provisional Korean democratic government
as a first step in assuring the establishment of an
independent and sovereign Koreen nation.
It was the hope of the Government of the United States that
speedy action would be taken by the Joint Commission, a
provisional Korean government would rapidly be established,
the unfortunate results of the line of demarcation between
the United States and the Soviet forces wouli be overcome
and Korea could be started on the way to attaining an
independent and democratic government.
Unfortunately the work of the Joint Commission became
stalemated after a short time through failure to agree
on the definition of the word "democratic" as it
pertained to the representatives of the parties and social
organizations mentioned in the Moscow Agreement to be
consulted by the Joint Commission in its task of assisting
in the formation of a provisional government As it
became evident that no agreement could be reached at the
time, the Joint Commission ad journed sine die on May 8,
1946.
The United States representatives on the Joint Commission
has several times suggested to the Soviet representative
that the Commission reconvene and get on with its work.
Now, in April, 1947, sixteen months since the agreement
pertaining to Korea was reached in Moscow, there has still
been no real progress made towards the implementation of
that agreement.
