Korea is distant enough from JUS in
miles and social conditions to make it
seem unlikely that a decision of its
Supreme Court, involving only natives
of that country, would be of interest
here. In the alleged conspiracy against
the life of Count Terauchi, tine Japan
csc Governor General, los persons
were implicated originally.
Ali the accused were native Chris
tians, and strange to say, when it was
charged by American missionaries in
Korea that the prosecution was in
reality a religious persecution, ninety
nine of the prisoners were released.
The remaining six, all persons of note,
who were convicted of the crime, have
now had their sentences annulled by
the Korean Supreme Court. This
looks like a vindication of the mis-
sionaries and practically sustains their
charges.
The Japanese government does not
object to PROSECUTING in Japan; but the
spread of the Christian religion with
its liberalizing and equalizing tendencies
in Korea is quite another matter. The
Japanese prefer not to have too much
enlightenment given to the population
which by sheer force they hold in sub
lection. The Korean Supreme Courts
decision may be regarded as an act Of
practical wisdom, ihtimating that the
Japanese government realizes its rough
