Rhee, who has been named secretary
OF state by the Korean Provisional
government
This action, he said. would make
Korea the FIRST independent country
IN Asia to become Christian.
The Koreans would not stand for
any heather autocratic government
like that OF Japan" said Rheo in a
statement yesterday. They have
been trained under American Christ
ian influence and the leaders are all
imbued with the American demo-
cratic ideas.
Seven OF the eight members OF the
cabinet OF the Korean provisional
government are Christians. and our
government naturally will follow the
American form Of government as far
as we are able.
Even the general mass Of Ko-
under the japanese regime, realize
the evils of monsrchical government.
Besides. the Christians are the most
educated and enlightened and iBnI-
entiaI people throughout the country.

Koreans are united in their de-
mand for a democratic Christian gov
ernment like that OF the United

at the bottom Of the deteststion
