Korean Request
Three demands from the South Korean government to the U.S. government were as follows:
- Provide that Japan "confirm that it renounced on August 9, 1945, all right, title and claim to Korea and the islands which were part of Korea prior to its annexation by Japan, including the island Quelpart, Port Hamilton, Dagelet, Dokdo and Parangdo."
- The legal transfer of vested properties of Japanese in Korea to Korea and the United States Military Government in Korea.
- Admit the continuation of the MacArthur Line in the Treaty of San Francisco.

Famous quotes containing the word request:
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
