Editor Parks Letter
Editor The Advertiser:--I regard
to an association organized BY the
Japanese in Honolulu as n result OF
the mass meeting recently held in Asahi
Theater, have a word to, say in order
to express our Korean side of the view.
1.-THE Koreans being peace-lovinR
people, do not wish to 'butt in and
get mixed up with somebody's organ
ization or disorganization. We Ko.
reans do not care to know what prin.
ciples or doctrines the Japanese asso-
citation or associations should set forth.
SO long as the japanese should talk
for themselves, without touching our
interest either one way or the other,
We would have nothing TO say, even II
they should organize such an associa-
tion anywhere and everywhere.
But when they talk about other
nationalities, including the Korean
as they do know, want to tell them
that Koreans will take care Of them
selves. Koreans are already tired OF
Japan $ wrongs and abuses in their
homeland, and they would like to be
exempt from them when abroad. IL
the Japanese want to have Koreans
lined up with them in their protest
against the American people in Ha.
wall, Koreans want to know what they
will be led into.
HSome Americans blame poor limo.
cent Koreans for certain mischiefs done
Nv Japanese. Even in Germany some
Korean students are treated as enc
| uICH VI spONaunC VI tht bdPA
nese. Everywhere they go the Japanese
usually arouse public sentiment against
themselves through their aggressive and
arrogant measures, thus making every
body their enemy. When they make
enemies all round they can protect
themselves and their interest, as thes
have the power TO do SO. But the poor
peaee-loying Koreans generally suffel
most for the ill-behavior of Japanese
as they have no protection for them
selves.
s'The question of Japanese aviator
for instance, which seems to have lcS
to mass meeting and TO the organ
izing of Japapese association, doe
not appeal favorably to our sentimen
at all. And, of course, we do not wisl
| to lie used as somebody's weapon. Ii
our opinion il is no Surprise to tn,
| people Of Honolulu to hear that a mas
! meeting has been held by the Japanes
4 residents of the city to protest., be
4 cause we learned long ago from GU
own experience that that would be ex
actly what japanese would do whei
4 they could, but it is rather surpris
to know that the Washington govern
ment has given them permission to Il,
over fortified city in time Of wal
Japan being one of the warning nations
! Zone of the Japanese editors Is re
ported to have said that the attitud
i assumed by Governor Pinkham in avi
alton affair is a fragrant testimony q
to how ignorant Is the government
chief executive ON our sincere attitud
maintained towards the government
and the good works we are dom
among the people To us it is que'
tion whether it is the ignorance Of tn
Governor to refuse, or the ignorane
of the Washington authorities to Civ
4 the permission to the Japanese aviato
to fly over the city of Honolulu .
this particular time.
nThe fact that Governor PinkhaI
has refused to allow the flight mus
have been sad disappointment to tn
Japanese residents of this city, VIII
had evidently expected to get any
thing and everything they wish. Blu
it must be remembered that trying !
compel the American government Q
Hawaii to come to their terms doe
not agree with the statement that the
sincerely hoped to build up an Amer
canized Japanese community in eoi
formity with every American idea.
