Tae Korean Nationar Spirit

It has created spirit and national unity of purpose where there were almost none before. It has evolved one of the most remarkable and one of the best organized and disciplined revolutionary movements in history among a people abandoned by the Occident years ago as} hopelessly supine and degenerate. It has always been said that the Koreans could not work together and their inability to unite for 2 common purpose was regarded as an ineradicable national weakness. Yet, thanks to Japanese military methods in Korea, it is nothing unusual to find members of the former Imperial family sitting in council with peasant leaders, Buddhist and Christian leaders and leaders of the, mystic sect known as the Tien Tao Hui, all working feverishly, almost fanatically, in a common cause.

All of this Japan realizes and the Japanesa militarists have deen made to understand that as a base upon the mainland Korea is less of an asset now than it was in 1894. Hence the desire to control the land through Korean rulers.
