To the Editor of the "Nonrn-Cuisa Dany News."
Sir,—The letter in to-day's issue, together with your excellent leader, cannot fail to evoke deep sympathy with the Korean people who suffer so much at the hands of, apparently, a few militarists, rather than the wish of the Japanese people generally. It is to be hoped that wiser counsels will soon prevail, and the Koreans be permitted to live peaceably in their own land. It may not be realized by all your readers that there are about 1,000 Koreans now in Shanghai, and among them some 200 children of school age. A school is carried on in temporary premises, which are also used as a church, in the French Settlement. It is hoped to secure more suitable premises soon, and Koreans overseas are helping with contributions; foreigners are invited to assist in this very commendable enterprise. A practical way of showing sympathy with a distressed people, and helping to pay expenses of the existing school and of raising a little towards the proposed building, is to buy tickets for a special concert at the Olympic Theatre on January 8, at 3 p.m. There is an attractive programme of Russian, Korean, and other talent, particulars of which will be duly announced. Tickets, $5, $3 and $2 may be obtained from Mr. W. H. Lyuh, 206, Lungmen Road, or from the undersigned. am, ete, I Masoy.
No. 143 North Szechuen Rd, Dec. 29.
