p.448 Final Text of the Communiqué : independence of Korea Nov. 26, 1943
Representative[s] two major Korean parties at Chungking called at Embassy December 4 and requested interpretation of phrase “in due course” relating to Korea in Cairo Declaration. They stated initial Korean reaction one of unqualified approval but Chinese press translation of phrase as “at appropriate (or proper) time” together with rumor at Chungking that postwar Korea would be under Chinese mandate had already disturbed Koreans; that Korean meeting in celebration Cairo statement was canceled when official text released; that Koreans were now attempting to obtain interpretation of phrase from Foreign Office and Wang Chung-hui.
