INDEPENDENT ARMY
FORMED BV KOREANS HOPES OF NATIONAL FREEDOM AFTER WAR. RELIANCE ON ROOSEVELT'S PROMISE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright! (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) CHUNGKING, February 24. Korean revolutionary headquarters are elated by President Roosevelt’s promise of freedom for Korea through the application of the principles of the Atlantic Charter to the whole world after the war. It is expected that the Chinese Government will early extend recognition to the Korean Provisional Government recently formed in Chungking, headed by Mr Kim Koo. Mr Koo is forming an independent Korean Army and is now recruiting soldiers from guerilla bands in the north-west provinces and urging that Koreans in the Chinese Army be transferred to an independent army. It is also hoped that 40,000 Koreans in the Soviet Far East Army will be allowed to join the independent army.
