New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1919-05-07

ical church in the United States is directly
concerned in the affair, because it centers
around the hundred or more of American
mission schools and hospitals in Korea,
which our churches have established
and are maintaining. Already one of
these missionaries has been sentenced
to six months Imprisonment at hard
labor, because he permitted Korean
agitators to take refuge in the mission
grounds Doctor Rhee was member
of reform party before the old Korean
empire was abolished by the japanese.
The old Korean government kept him
in prison for seven years, and passed
death sentence upona him five or six
times, but was always prevented, by,
public indignation, from taking his life.
The Japanese government would like
to get hands on him. He is now secre-
tary of state in the government organized
on March 1, and is seeking the aid of
American public opinion for the Korean
cause.
| Mr.. Yoon was formerly president of
the Korean National association, and
some years ago organized in England a
committee, of which the late William T.
Stead was chairman, to assist Korea
to regain her independence. He is now
seeking passports for Paris, in order to
bring his plea before the peace conference.
An Old "Scrap Of Paper"
Japanese diplomatic and commercial
pressure is being exerted throughout
the United States and Canada to sup
press the publication of news from the
Orient showing the Korean uprising
to be national in it's extent Neverthe-
less, it appears to be the fact that, acting
upon the inspiration of Christian teach
ing, nation of 100000 people is today
refusing to avoid either Imprisonment,
torture, mutilation or death in it's determ-
ination to compel Japan to recognize
cnce more the ::'scrap Of paper treaty
of 1905, which guaranteed the full in
dependence of Korea, and which was
violated in 1907 by Japanese "protec-
torate," and 1910 by complete abolition
of Korean national existence.
The United States was the first nation
to withdraw it's diplomatic represent
tatives from old Korea, thereby helping
Japan to carry out it's policy of suppress
sion. Possibly the United States will
be the first to recognize the new Korean
republic when the Japanese massacres
arouse the world to protest.
Farmers Ask Protection.
The National Board of Farm Organiza-
tons, with the headquarters here, has
issued a general call to the farmer Or
CARNATIONS affiliated with it, asking their
immediate help in bringing the members
of congress to see that the Clayton anti
trust act is amended to protect the CO.
operative movement in this country.
The resolution adopted in their last
national conference, which is now to be
presented to congress, reads
Whereas, group or collective bargain
ing by farmers has become imperative
in order that they may cope with the
powerful organizations with which they
must deal; therefore, be it
'Resolved, that we voice the convic-
ton that the federal antitrust laws
should be amended so as to provide
clearly that contracts for collective
sales of farm, orchard, plantation, ranch
or dairy products by producers associa-
tons, corporate or otherwise, engaged
in making for the producers thereof
collective sales of farm, or chard, planta-
ton, ranch or dairy products, and pre-
scribing terms and conditions of such
sales, are not combinations or conspira-
cies in restraint of trade or commerce
under the antitrust laws, and that moth
ing contained in the antitrust laws shall
be construed to forbid the existence and
operation of such associations, or to for
bid or restrain Individual members,
directors or officers thereof from making
such collective sales and prescribing terms
and conditions thereof"
