Peoples Closely Related.

Korea is united geographically
with the main islands of Japan, and
the two peoples are closely related to
each other in race, in manners and
customs, and in sentiments No dis
tinction or inequality should be al
lowed to exist between them as loyal
subjects of the same sovereign,
whether politically, socially or other
wise.
These considerations are under
stood to have invariably been kept in
view in the imperial rescript issued
at the time of the annexation, as well
as in that which has just been issued
1t should be noted that the existing
administrative system of Korea is not
meant to be of a permanent and un-
alterable nature. but that it embodies
provisional arrangements calculated
to meet the passing needs of the
transitory period until the final goal
is reached.

Reforms Decided Upon.

In pursuance of this policy the gov
ernment are now decided to carry out
various reforms in Korea, and it is their
fixed determination to forward the prog
ress Of the country in order that all diff
ferences between Korea and Japan
proper in matters Of education. industry
and of the civil service may finally be
altogether cbliterated.
The government are. moreover, con-
tdently looking forward to the eventual
adoption in Korea of a system of pro-
vincial and municipal administration
similar to that in operation in Japan
proper. so far as circumstances would
permit. For a speedy attainment Of
these objects one naturally cannot rely
solely on the force Of organ and ma
chinery: great deal must necessarily
depend upon the efforts of Koreans
themselves toward their own upliftment
Il am well aware that the system of
gendarmerie prevailing in Korea is be-
ing made a subject of criticism at home
to the fact that the institution origi-
mated in attempts to meet the exigen-
cies of the situation under the regime
of residents general and was never in
tended to be permanent arrangement.
Will Replace Gendarmerie.
"1t is now proposed to have gendar-
merle replaced Dy force OF police to
be placed under the control of local
governors in a manner similar to that
which obtains in Japan proper, ex-
cept in districts where conditions
make immediate elimination inadvis-
able. 1t is not possible at this mo-
ment to make any further announce
ment on the details of the contem-
plated reforms, which 1t remains for
the newly appointed authorities to
work out.
ITO sum up, however. it may be
stated that Korea and Japan proper
forming equally integral parts of the
same empire. no distinction should
in principle be made between them
and that it is the ultimate purpose of
the Japanese government in due
course to treat Korea as in all re-
spects on the same footing with Japan
proper.
"In this wise may be attained the
only true object of the annexation
and on these lines may be expected
the permanent advance and enlight-
eminent Of the Koreans. trust that
the above brief observations may as
sist the public at home and abroad to
arrive at a full comprehension of the
true intentions and policy of the
Japanese government"

Going in Right Direction.

The statements in regard to reforms
in Korea which were issued in Toxic
and just announced by the Japanese
embassy in Washington will go very
far in convincing the people of the
United States that Japan is going in
the right direction, according to the
official viewpoint here. and do much
to remove evil effects of the whole
sale propaganda against the far east
ern nation. which it is frankly ad-
mitted has left the American mind in
'muddled state" SO far as clear COM
prehension of new Japan's purposes
are concerned.

government will admit no excuse for
any culprit whether he be q govern
ment official or a private citizen. Take
the Suigen occurrence. for instance.
There the government has caused
the responsible officers. who had al
tive censure. to be brought for trial
before a ourt-martial.
New Administration.
I'm proceeding to the reorganiza-
ton of the system of the government
general of Korea 1 regret to announce
the resignation of Marshal Hasegawa.
governor general, and of Yamagata,
director general of administration.
both of whom have rendered eminent
service to the state at the important
posts which they have occupied for
several years. To fill the vacancies
caused by their retirement Baron
Saito and Mr.. Midzuno have now been
appointed, respectively. as governor
general and director general of ad-
Baron Saito. who had
long distinguished himself as a min
lister of state. requires no introduc-
tion for his high personality and
powers of statesmanship. Nor is
there any need to refer to the high
esteem in which Mr.. Midzuno Is held
at home and abroad as public serv-
ant who has not only filled with
credit several important executive
posts during a period of more than
twenty years, but also held a minis
terial portfolio in the late cabinet.
II have no doubt that these two
will fully prove equal to
the trust placed in them for carrying
out the contemplated reforms in Ko-
rea in conformity with the expressed
wishes OF the government.

Premier Hara's Pledges.

Premier Hara's statement follows:
Nearly ten years have elapsed
since Korea was Incorporated into
the empire of Japan, and. in view
of significant changes which have
meanwhile presented themselves In
the conditions Of the country, q plan
of various reforms in the Korean
administrative system has for some
time been engaging my attention
Unfortunately. in March last dis
1turbances broke out In several parts
of the peninsula, which for obvious
reasons have retarded the introduce
tion of the contemplated reforms. 1t
will not be necessary at this moment
to give a full account Of those dis
turbances- 1t is much to be regretted
that, as is generally, the case under
like circumstances, they gave birth
toNwild and baseless representations,
some OF which even went so far as
to make new stories out Of old incl
dents antedating the annexation.
Being determined to be perfectly Just
and fair in the conduct of affairs con-
nected with the recent uprisings, the

Text of Imperial Rescript.

The text of the imperial rescript an
nouncing a new era for Korea and ko-
reans follows:
I'VE have ever made it our aim to
promote the security and welfare of
our territory of Korea and to extend
10 the native population of that terri
tory, as our beloved subjects, a fair
and impartial treatment in all re-
spects. to the end that they may with
out distinction of persons lead their
lives in peace and in contentment-
We are persuaded that the stage of
development at which the general sit
uation has now arrived calls for GER
tain reforms in the admin nistrative
organization of the government gen.
eral of Korea and we issue our i'm
perial command that such reforms be
put into operation.
The measures thus taken are solely
designed to facilitate the working Of
administration and to secure good
and enlightened government. in pur-
suance of our settled policy and in
fulfillment of the altered requirements
of the country. Especially I'M view of
the termination of the war In Europe
and of rapid changes in the affairs of
the world. we consider it highly de-
sirable that every effort should be
made for the advancement of the ma
fional resources and the wellbeing
of the people. We call upon all the
public functionaries concerned to ex-
sercfse their best endeavors in obe-
dience to our wishes in order that a
benign rule may be assured to Korea
and that the people. diligent and hap
py in attending to their respective
vocations, may enjoy the blessings
of peace and contribute to the grow
ing prosperity OF the country"

PARIS. May 81. (By The Associated

to find some solution for the diSmem-

the American delegates 70 the peace
conference express doubt Of the willing
ness of the United States to accept the
mandate especially under tho conditions
which the powers have outlined.
With the sultan removed from Con-
stantinople the American delegates eN-
pressed the belief that IT, might hn pos

reconcilcd to the mandate. However
