The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-02-09


An American who has witnessed the
absorption of Korea by the yankees
of the east" and is now safely out of
the country says the Japanese are car
rying things there with high hand, u
statement worthy of attention, consid-
ering what happened in China after the
fall of Chinese Port Arthur Says this
observer: Korea may have needed re
forms, but she does not need to be de-
voured. Japan has shown by her every
act that she is in Korea for the good
of the japanese and not for the good
of the Koreans"
Among other things, according to this
authority, the new masters of Korea
are taking land without compensation,
supplanting Korean coolies with jap
anese and taking the bread out of the
mouths of traders by filling the mar
kets with their own goods. The Jap
anese are seldom punished for crimes
against Koreans, but 1.-The Koreans are
severely punished, and the punishment
runs from being a beating with club
to being hanged or shot on a cross"
This Indictment is not more severe in
essentials than what we have had pre-
scented for the era succeeding the war
of 1S94-95 and it is small wonder that
current Japanese accounts from Seoul
report "outrages' by Korean reaction
aries-natives desperate enough to re
volt under Japanese cruelties.
