KOREA APPEALS TO UNITED NATIONS
Wm YORK, NOV. 1 (Special to The Korean Open Letter)
Hiss Louise Yim, an executive committee member of the South

are as follows:--

2. Do away with the 38th Parallel.
3. Fulfill the Cairo and Potsdam agreement on Korean Independence
4. Let Koreans set up their own Government.
5. Admit Korea to the United Nations membership.
The full text is as follows:
KOREA'S CASE
To the United Nations General Assembly:
Your urgent attention is respectfully invited to the dangerous
situation in Korea which calls for immediate action. _ c
The arbitrary division of our country with the military forces
of the United States in the South and of the Union of Scrviet
Socialist Republics in the North is paralyzing the econdm3r
and the people of Korea. -Pf2
This intolerable condition constitutes a direct threat"not
only to the peace of the Orient but to the peace of the fc'hole
world, * It contains every element of international disaster
to a world still in the throes of misery resulting from Tftorld •:
War II. It holds the same threat to the future of the IpJited P
Nations that Japan!s invasion of Manchuria presented to the
League of Nations. Surely the United Nations has no wish to
repeat the tragic mistakes of the League of Nations.
As a sovereign nation, with forty-two centuries of uninterrupted national existence, Korea is dedicated to liberty
and self-government with no interference or dictation from
any foreign power.
The Korean people are proud of their long and unbroken record
as a peaceloving na.tion that ha.s never waged aggressive war*,
But we, the people of Korea, are ready to fight and, if need
be, to die for the preservation of our liberty* We take real
pride in the fact that we proved to the treacherous Japanese
and to the whole world tha.t, despite forty years of Japanese
tyranny and oppression, the soul of Korea remained unconquered
and unconquerable.
May I remind this great Assembly, consisting in the ma in cf
small nations, that only because Korea was a- small nation did
she fall victim to a big nation--Ja.pan. Can" this Assembly of
small nations afford, for a single moment, to overlook the
historic and tragic fact that it was the betrayal of a small
and friendly na.tion which wrecked the peace cf Asia and pa.ved
the way for world War II? .
Plea.se tell us, why a.re we, the Korean people, still denied
our freedom? Why are we forced to suffer the humiliation of
seeing our na.tion torn in half and ruled by tv/o powerful
nations--naticns with opposing ideologies?
Japan, which proved herself so trea.cherous an enemy, has
already been allowed her own civil government, but not Korea.
Japa.n ha.s already been permitted a. free election, but net Korea.
the despoiler of small nations, is subjected

to the treatment which peaceful Korea
Denied the right and privilege
the Kcrean people take this means
Assembly. Peace in our time—peace at any time--will be impossible v/hile Korea, a nation of thirty millions of your fellow
human beings, is divided and enslaved.
^The leaders of the Korean people respectfully but solemnly
warn this Assembly of the increasing difficulty of maintaining
order in the midst of a disheartened population which reposed
faith in the promise of the grea.t Powers that the defeat of
the common enemy, Ja.pan, would bring the restoration of
Korean national independence.
With the approach of winter, the situation daily grows more
perilous.

The full text is as follows: KOREA'S CASE To the United Nations General Assembly: Your urgent attention is respectfully invited to the dangerous situation in Korea which calls for immediate action. _ c The arbitrary division of our country with the military forces of the United States in the South and of the Union of Scrviet Socialist Republics in the North is paralyzing the econdm3r and the people of Korea. -Pf2 This intolerable condition constitutes a direct threat"not only to the peace of the Orient but to the peace of the fc'hole world, * It contains every element of international disaster to a world still in the throes of misery resulting from Tftorld •: War II. It holds the same threat to the future of the IpJited P Nations that Japan!s invasion of Manchuria presented to the League of Nations. Surely the United Nations has no wish to repeat the tragic mistakes of the League of Nations. As a sovereign nation, with forty-two centuries of uninterrupted national existence, Korea is dedicated to liberty and self-government with no interference or dictation from any foreign power. The Korean people are proud of their long and unbroken record as a peaceloving na.tion that ha.s never waged aggressive war*, But we, the people of Korea, are ready to fight and, if need be, to die for the preservation of our liberty* We take real pride in the fact that we proved to the treacherous Japanese and to the whole world tha.t, despite forty years of Japanese tyranny and oppression, the soul of Korea remained unconquered and unconquerable. May I remind this great Assembly, consisting in the ma in cf small nations, that only because Korea was a- small nation did she fall victim to a big nation--Ja.pan. Can" this Assembly of small nations afford, for a single moment, to overlook the historic and tragic fact that it was the betrayal of a small and friendly na.tion which wrecked the peace cf Asia and pa.ved the way for world War II? . Plea.se tell us, why a.re we, the Korean people, still denied our freedom? Why are we forced to suffer the humiliation of seeing our na.tion torn in half and ruled by tv/o powerful nations--naticns with opposing ideologies? Japan, which proved herself so trea.cherous an enemy, has already been allowed her own civil government, but not Korea. Japa.n ha.s already been permitted a. free election, but net Korea. the despoiler of small nations, is subjected cr- oo s o ill to endure, or a. government or our own, to appeal to your great forced 1 + Only Ge rma,ny. to the treatment which peaceful Korea Denied the right and privilege the Kcrean people take this means Assembly. Peace in our time—peace at any time--will be impossible v/hile Korea, a nation of thirty millions of your fellow human beings, is divided and enslaved. ^The leaders of the Korean people respectfully but solemnly warn this Assembly of the increasing difficulty of maintaining order in the midst of a disheartened population which reposed faith in the promise of the grea.t Powers that the defeat of the common enemy, Ja.pan, would bring the restoration of Korean national independence. With the approach of winter, the situation daily grows more perilous. |
