Mr. Molotov to Secretary Marshall,
letter dated at Moscow, April 19, 1947, quoted in
telegram no. 1517, KOSMOS 59, from Moscow, April 23, 1947
(file 895.01/4-2347)
In reply to your letter of April 8 on the
question of Korea, I am communicating the follow-

At. the Moscow meeting of the Foreign
Ministers of the Soviet Union, the United States
of America and the United Kingdom in December
1945, an agreement was reached which determined
the policy of the three powers with respect to
Korea. A basis for this agreement were the
proposals of the Soviet Government, to which
the Government of the U.S.A. also agreed, having
consequently abandoned its first intention not
to establish a National Korean Government in
Korea. The Moscow Agreement held the establish
ment of a provisional democratic Korean Govern²
ment which could take all the necessary measures
for the development of Korean industry, transport;
agriculture and the national culture of the
Korean people, to be a problem of primary
importance.
Haying made these proposals, the Soviet
Government deemed that the, unification of
Korea under the leadership of the Korean
National Government was the most important
prerequisite for the restoration of Korea as
an independent state and the establishment of
bases for the development of the country on
democratic principles.
The Soviet Government continues to adhere
to this point of view and insists on a steadfast
implementation of the Moscow Agreement on Korea,
being certain that, on the basis of the execution
of this agreement Korea would be successfully
developed along democratic principles and would
