DOCUMENT Q
Foreign Minister Wang to Secretary Marshall,
letter dated at Nanking, April 15, 1947,
in telegram no. 814 from Nanking,
April 15, 1947, 10 a.m.
.on
(file 895.00/4-1547)
I am in receipt of a copy of your note addressed
to Mr. Molotov dated April 8 on the situation in
Korea, for which I thank you. On behalf of my govern-
ment I have the honor to state the following views on
the subject of Korea:
The future of Korea is a matter of deep concern
and vital interest to China. The Chinese people and
government have always held that the Korean people
should be given independence at the earliest possible
date. We regret to observe, however, that in spite
of the long lapse of time since the defeat of Japan
no government of the Korean people has yet been set
up. We strongly urge, therefore, that there should
be no further delay in bringing into existence and
operation of such a government. In order not to
delay further the realization of the aspirations
of the Korean people in their long struggle for
freedom and independence, it is our view that full
consultation should take place among USA, USSR, Great
Britain and China, who are parties to the Moscow
agreement of December 2, 1945 [síc] on Korea, if the
occupying powers cannot reach an agreement soon on
this matter.
I am instructing the Chinese Ambassador in Moscow
to furnish copies of this note to Mr. Molotov and
Mr. Bevin.
