The thing company and its affiliated stations present the Pacific Store. This is the story of the Pacific and the millions of people who live around this greatest scene. The drama of the people whose destiny is its state in the Pacific War.
This is the background of the war in the Pacific and its meaning to us and to the generations to come. Tonight's Pacific story comes to you as another public service with drama the past and present and an official statement of the US State Department in reference to the complex Korean question.
The Paradox of Korea. For 26 years, the Korean Provisional Government has been seeking the recognition of the United States. When the Provisional Government of Korea was democratically organized by representative of the people in Korea, it was given a clear mandate to carry on until Korea becomes free, At which time it will be replaced by a permanent government of the people.
So say the Korean. But the US government has been on bending. The Korean provisional government does not have the qualifications for recognition by the United States as a governing authority. But against this, some Americans have taken strong positions on behalf of Korea.
America's sole career down the river with the restoration of Korea's independence one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century will have been rectified. In 1882 the United States entered into a treaty with Korea.
If other powers deal unjustly or oppressively with either government, Korea or the United States, the other will exert their good offices on being informed to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings.
America and Korea drew closer together. Well, guess we're on our way. Yes, going to be a great experience. Lots of possibilities in Korea. What are you going to do in Korea? Build a railroad for one thing and maybe a street car system.
