"All Americans who have come to know the Korean people appreciate their fierce passion for freedom and their keen desire to become an independent nation."

"The survival and progress of the Republic toward a self-supporting, stable economy will have an immense and far-reaching influence on the people of Asia."

"The Soviet Union refused to permit the United Nations Commission to enter its zone."

"Bare relief along, however, would not make it possible for the Republic to become self-supporting."
