DISTURBANCE IN KOREA
SUBJECT IN RESOLUTIONS
Conference Of Federated Missions
OF Japan Deplores Unjust and
Unnecessary Suferings.

kARUIzAwA. Japan, September
10 Correspondents Of the Associated
Press).-The conference of Federated
Missions of Japan has adopted reso-
lutions concerning the disturbance in
Koraa. declaring that I'VE have been
forced to believe that the reports are
substantially true and that the peo-
pie OF Korea have endured sufferings
which are unjust and unnecessary"
These sufferings. the resolutions add,
might easily be ended once for all If
the methods of administration were
divested ''of that harshness and
cruelty which are SO strangely at
variance with the high and enlighten-
ed principles according to which
Japan proper is now governed and
with the kindheartedness in which
Japan, as a people, abounds."
Faith in Japanese Government.
The resolutions express faith that
the japanese government will inaug-
urate a more just system. They add:
we bear testimony to the passion for
enlightenment which is an indomitable
impulse throughout the heart Of the
nation. and which has brought about
such general progress during the
half century since Japan was opened
10 the world.
I'VE have re3oiced in the many i'm
provements brought about in Korea
since that country came under the
authority Of the Japanese govern
ment.
Do Not Condone Mistakes.
we do not wish to condone any
mistakes the Korean people may
have made nor disregard the inherent
difficulty always attached to such an
administrative task as that in hand
, in Korea.
But we wish to give clear and pub
lie expression to our unmingled
sympathy with those of the Korean
people to whom recent troubles have
brought cruel and unmerited suffer
| ing. And we wish to give our moral
| support-and this is the chief reason
| for making this statement-to any
steps looking to a real and permanent
| bettering Of conditions In Korea"
