To the Editor of the "Norrs-Caura Darry News."
S1z,—Is your recent article on "The Japanese in Corea" a true presentation of the facts? If it is, then the Japanese policy just now in Cores must be more than a mistake or a failure. Those who are looking for the triumph of righteousness in the Far East, including yourself, Sir, would be delighted to be able to disbelieve that article. You sre to be congratulated on your courage and fairness in drawing attention to the question, But I trust your criticisms will be answered by an_ authoritative reply from someone qualified to speak for Japan.
indeed no defence can be made, we shall be loft with an ugly doubt as to the real value of the Japan-Coroa Treaty, concluded not long after the outbreak of the war. The independence of Corea more sham—is it the slander of an is it simple truth? Surely the hero, whois defending the cause of the woak at sucha terrible cost, will not fall prey to a moan selfishness which is certain of being punished, alike in the history of a single individual and of a nation! Who will prove to us that the modern Bayard, in his conduct towards in neighbours, is not only sans pour but also sans reproche Tam, ote., 8th October.
