CLAIMS JAPAN

Korea is, for the Japanese and for
the Japanese only" said M. G. Fen
wick of Los Angeles who has spent rs
years in Korea as a free lance mis-
siOnary. Mr.. Fenwick left on the Chi
yo Maru this morning for his home
in California. He expects to return
to Korea some time early next year.
When asked today about the polit-
ical situation in Korea, Mr.. Fenwick
said: Japan wants Korea as she
wants China, and to succeed in that
country you must feather the Japanese
nest or retire from business. Japan

that exceeds anything in the nations
of the world In absolute control. The
foreigner may do business there, but
he must add to the Japanese treasury
or he is lost.
THE Koreans have nothing in that
country. They have a few minor po-
sitions, but they do as the Japanese
say. The great jokes Of the govern
ment are the Korean governors. In
order to make the belief that Koreans
are popular they have appointed Ko-
reans to the positions of governor OF
