COreans, Americans and japanese.

We mention these in chronological
order, for, next to the natives, Ameri-
cans were active in the peninsular
kingdom, teaching, healing, introduc-
ing books and industrial enterprises,
binding up wounds and curing dis
eases, before the japanese. This was
according to their streaty of 1882. In
1909 Japan, after employing gener-
ously her means and loaning her best
statesmen, INoUYE and ITo, formally
annexed the country as province of
Japan, using the ancient name Chosen
or Morning Calm.
When the Marquis ITo took charge
as Governor-General of Chosen he
frankly and publicly admitted that
the presence Of so many American
missionaries in the country might
prove serious embarrassment. With
scores of teachers from democratic
republic like the United States al
ready at work during twenty-five
years, with American methods and
books, and with hospitals, dispense
ries and Christian association build
iags, as well as churches and Sunday
schools, the friction between !mpe-
realistic theories and practice of gov
eminent and the feelings of the popu-
lace in conquered country would
be great.
Nevertheless, with unselfsh patri-
otism, marked constructive ability
and winning methods Of Cancellation,
ITo's success was great. Cooperating
with him as wise allens7+the Amerl-
cans in body, both missionaries and
business men, held aloof from parti-
Sanship. Yet the methods used, Japa-
ncse and American, differed start
llngly. Moreover, the contrast shown
in the management of the Philippines
was suggestive.
After the assassination of both ITo
and our own DURHAM STEVENS by
native COreans, the military and bu-
reaucmtiC party in Japan thrust upon
Corea two military rulers of notably
Prussian cast of mind, who immedi-
ately proceeded to carry out German
methods and persevered In them. The
policy for ten years past has been
intimidation by the gendarmes or
police, and then the doing out of
ImnroypmpntS' oluavs for
the good of the japanese, but the ex.
cluslon, outwtting and showing out
Of the Corean."
Such is the substance of the reports
now filtering past censors and brought
back by Americans. AS for the re.
puted plot to take TERAUcHI's life, in
which 1877 Coreans were accused,
mostly educated men and leaders in
the Christian churches, 1t was based
wholly on suspicion. All the evidence
as published by the Japanese them
selves in 1911 and sifted by Ameri.
cans who were present at the trial
shows that it was frame up" of the
first order. When in 1916 the mill.
tary party was beaten at the elections
and Count OKUMA became Premier
all the accused Coreans were par
doned and set free.
Just here We touch the core of the
whole matter. The vital question Of

VENETIAN ART SEEN AT SILO'S.
Work of Italian Refugees includes
Rare Burano Lace.

An exhibition OF more than common
interest opened yesterday in the Silo Art
Galleries and will continue there this
week, after which these Italian decora-
tive art objects. produced by the
refugees from the city of Venice in the
year 1918, will be sold at auction.
The collection comes under the slpon-
sorship of the Italian Embassy and has
also been carefully looked after by Cor
RADIO Ricci, General Director of Fine Arts
in Italy, who insisted that nothing COM
monplace nor trite should be included
The show Is an extremely varied one and
no enc will be apt TO accuse 1t OF trite-
ness Most travelled Americans in fact
will imagine they are in some great an
tique shop in Rome or Venice for the
objects shown are thoroughly and COM
pletely Italian.
When the citizens fed from Venice
during the bombardments It became
necessary to find employment for them
in other cities, for they scattered
throughout all north Italy. Then there
was organized the Association OF Vene-
tian Industries to aid those among the
refugees who We're artistic craftsmen to
produce work along the lines OF their
PROFESSIONS. so that these arts might not
DO lost to the Italy OF the future. Glass
furnaces and kilns were opened up in
new places and looms and workshops
were improvised. From these ateliers
come most of the work that IS now
shown.
There Is much iron work, of an an

Pacifist Marshall Turns Militarlst.

That the sinuosities and contradic-
tons of Vice-President THOMAS r.
MARsHALL's political philosophy de-
serve continuous or intense study by
his fellow countrymen Is an assertion
The Sun would not defend, but that
an occasional inspection of his utter
ances is worth the time 1t costs Is
beyond contradiction. Mr.. MARsHAIL's

MARsHALLs policy town nd the Bolshe-
vlki-a policy contemplating the inva-
sion and subjugation OF Russia by
American armies, a task so great no
military commander would undertake
it without the gravest consideration

mans remarks in Chicago on March
10, 1914, announcing his unalterable
determination to oppose any project
involving war which was not necessi-
tated by the appearance of a foe
within the boundaries of the United
States. Mr.. MARsHALL's words on
that occasion We're:

hynia, and Proskurov, an Industrial
centre near the Galician border, both
formerly strong Bolshevist centres.
The turning Of the Bolshevist converts
In Ukraine from the Moscow Govern
ment to PETLURA was another result
that he said would follow his success.
He declared that LEVINE and TRoTzKY
had carried on their conquests in
Ukraine with such severity and In
humanity that the people would be
glad to desert them for q native
leader who gave evidence of strength.
PErLuRA's announced ultimate pur-
pose is to clear Ukraine OF Bolshe-
vism, to erect land barrier to the
western advance Of a Bolshevist army
and to recover Odessa.
What gives more than ordinary sig
nificance to PETLURA's success Is the
fact that the Bolshevist forces are re-
ported to have been driven back at
the same time both on the northern
front at Murmansk and below Arch
angel pnd on the eastern front at
Menselinsk. The gains which the
Bolsheviki have made at the Crimean
ports will be neutraliEed by the pres
ence Of the allied feet in the Black
Sea. Both northern Russia and ST.
IBERIA have shown an unmista kable
antagonism to the Moscow Govern
ment, and If to this is added the &C
tive military opposition Of Ukraine
the Russian Bolshevist rule is seen
to be gradually narrowing down to
the centre Of old Russia. Even here
there is reason for doubt that If the
red terrorism was removed It's sup
port would show sufficient strength to
give It permanence or security.

These details concern not exagger-
ated rumors but the particular cases
Of the brutality Of subordinates actu-
ally seen.
The hope for the Coreans lies not so
much in their complete independence
as In the greater democratizing Of
Japan. Imperialism and Prussianism,
on which the militnrlstic, party of
japan has been so long nourished, are
out of date. Moreover, to withhold,
as the Japanese do, the higher edu-
cation, including geography and his
tory, from the Coreans is rather to
invite further trouble. Happily there
