GRIEVANCES OF KOREANS.

UNIFICATION WITH JAPAN IMPOSSIBLE.

The complaints of the Koreans against the Japanese in con- nexion with the movement for the independence of Karea are sat out in a memorandum satitled **The grievances of the Korean People and the bad Government by Japan, issued by the Organis- ing Committee of the Independ- ence Movement." The document, which is given fully, is as follows:-

(1) There are two chief reasons for the demand we make that Korea shall be emancipated from the rule of Japan:-

(a) The Korean is much the older of the two nationalities for! it has a history of organized government extending over 4,300 years. Duting apart of that period Korea sent tribute to the Court of China, but this was nothing more than an outward expression of the relations be tween the imperial families of the two nations, Korea was ever the sole possession of our Korean race and was never under the actual control of any foreign nation or government.

(b) The Japanese nation is an entirely distinct race from the Korean, she is an island people and her nakedness of body and mind could only be covered by the civilization she has received from Korea and China during the centuries of the past. Her customs, her literature and her very clothing come to her through Korea. Of late years she has added to these the face powder of a Western civilization: thus she becomes the whited sepulchre eff the East. She gives no evidence of moral force, her actions to- wards out nation have proved her to be the embodiment of cruelty. The evidence is complete that the unification of the Japanese and Korean races is an impossibility.

CHARGES OF INJUSTICE (2) There are fire conspicuous injustices on the part of Japan towards Korea
