odd
Every housewife should witness this.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-06-21

In view OF the conflicting charges
and stories among members OF the Ko
rean colony growing ont OF the Kore
an National Associations financial
1roubles, the Star-Bulletin asked DR.
Syngman Rhee, the Korean widely
known as student. thinker and
Christian worker, personal friend
of President Wilson and laborer in
the Christian educational field here
TO make a statement OF his views upon
Abe question at Issue. DR.. Rhee's state
ment Is here presented:
II is true that the trouble in the
Korean National Association Is over
che disposition OF the association
funds. but II is not true that one party
wants to send money to Korea for
revolutionary purposes, while the con.
servatiye party demands to keen IL
here for the benefit OF needy Kore.
ans The fact is that the general
mass of Korean people in Hawaii are
thoroughly awakened to the fact that
they have made mistake by leaving
the association funds entirely In the
hands OF the few leaders in Honolulu,
and want to remodel the financial and
administrative system OF the associa.
lion so that no such mistake can be
repeated in the future
The recent election Of officers. by
votes Of all the members OF the asso-
citation on these islands. turned the
association over to new set Of mer.
who have prominent standing as
church leaders. BY this election the
former leaders OF the association, who
hive been running the association for
years, were completely ousted with no
hope OF getting back to their position
again So they. with number OF
