Korean Independenece

Good evening, this is CBS Breaking News. I’m Walter Cronkite and we want to welcome our viewers around the world and here in the U.S. We begin with breaking news from the Empire of Japan. After the continued instability in the aftermath of the Oil Crisis, the Japanese Empire fell into turmoil when the military, under the leadership of general Muto, brutally massacred the protestor at Tokyo. While both the Organization of Free Nations and the Reich condemned such action, the new Japanese administration remained silent at the global outrage.
In last June, the first jewel of the Japanese empire, Korean peninsula, fell into even greater chaos when the governor-general of the colony was assassinated by military hardliners and leader of the Korean collaborator Showadachi Gokai was also assassinated by native socialists. When the colonial office declared martial law in Korean peninsula, nationwide protest erupted. At August 15th, the final colonial forces surrendered at the governor office in Keijo and the leaders of the anti-Japanese resistance Koreans declared their independence. They have now formed a provisional government for new republic of Korea already begun an effort to international recognition.
In response to the historic and miraculous victory of the Korean people, Japanese citizens also revolted and ousted the Muto military dictatorship since last September. We are now please to inform our viewers that yesterday, a group of citizen militia overtook the Imperial Diet and formerly declared the newlywed People’s Republic of Japan.
In response to the Twilight of Japanese Empire, President Kirkpatrick has issued a special statement that “it is a great delight to the free nations of the world and a devastating blow to the fascist of the old world” and “the United States will pursue any effort in establishing freedom and democracy in the remnants of the Japanese Empire.” The president also invited the leaders of the provisional government of Korea, Bo-seon Yoon, Dae-jung Kim, and Ji-won Park to the special session of Congress tonight. We now move to the Jonathan Marks, special correspondent to the White House.
