southern Nanchuria, where some
million Koreans reside under Chinese
rule, driven out of their native land
by the japanese"
Last November, the statement said,
an unfortunate clash occurred in
Hunchan district between Japanese
soldiers and Korean insurgents.
Promptly taking advantage of this
pretext the Japanese government sent
5000 soldiers on punitive expedition.
The insurgents fed after giving a
stubborn fight to the japanese army.
Then the Japanese soldiers set out
deliberately to wreak vengence on the
peace people who stayed at their
homes, trusting to the humanity of
japanese officers and believing that
the punitive expedition was sent to
punish only those who took part in
the conflict.
But the Japanese soldiers put to
the toUh all the villages in the dis
trict, burning three thousand houses
and all the grain supply stored for the
winter. Then they systematically
killed all the male inhabitants of the
district. In some villages women and
children were not spared.
Thus at Dorabawie where the jap
anese soldiers massacred 145 peaceful
Inhabitants house was burned with
women and children inside.
"Thirty-two villages were thus
wantonly destroyed and the destruc-
ton still continues Notwithstanding
the regrets" expressed by Colonel
Mizumachi, head of the japanese mil
itary mission at Chientoa to a Cam
adam missionary who visited the dew
astated districts"
