KOREANS OPPOSE
 RULE OF JAPAN

Shanghai, Feb. 16-The Koreans will suffer extermination before they will acquiesce in the rule of Japan, declares Baron Kim Ka-chin, form erly one of Korea's elder statesmen and officials who has penetrated the Japanese 'cordon around Korea He is now one of the members of the little community of Korean refugees who have found haven here in China.
 ''There can be no peace,'' he said. ''The Koreans will never waver. They may not win for many years, but they will never yield"
 He declared that the people are entirely without rights and without political representation. All special privileges are in the hands of the Japanese, he added, and they control all the sources of wealth and rapid Iy are acquiring actual ownership of the land. The Korean nation, he said is without mouthpiece, for he asserted not one Korean newspaper edited by Koreans is permitted to exist and public meetings are wholly forbidden.
 Not more than three people, even for social purposes, may gather and talk together" he said. "AIl of the schools of the country are under the direction of Japanese teachers and the instruction is given in the Jap aneSe text books
 He said that the history that is taught to children is garbled in such a way as to glorify Japan and dis credit Korea.
 "Japan's course" he declared, "has been driving the people out of Korea into Manchuria at the rate of 1O0,- hi iS anese have taken control of every thing. They operate the railways, the banks, transportation lines, and in those few places where there are Korean officials the Japanese adviser is never far distant.
 "Even the Japanese ricksha coolies are favored for they are permitted to solicit fares at exits of railway sta tions and other places from which the Korean ricksha men are bar red.
 Japanese servants in private homes are empowered to check ex- penditures in these homes and to for
 bid any of which they do not ap- prove and the Korean who desires to withdraw money he has deposited in bank must first obtain permission from the police to do so.
 S1uCe the TeNOIuLlOn started. Baron Kim said, "the jails have been filed to overflowing and thousands have been put to the torture. But the people have never wavered and
 this is why students have thrown themselves upon bayonets with barred breasts when police and military turned upon them. The people may die. They will never yield" Baron Kim, who is 74 years old, came to Shanghai to become a part of a republic that exists only in the hopes and prayers of the people of Korea, for the leaders of the revo- Iutionists, with the pattern of a gov ernment made up of officials chosen secretly last summer, have grouped themselves together here with Shang- hai as their capital. The connection between this government and the people of Korea is a carefully guard | ed secret, and is a system not un- like the battle-ground railroad" by which fugitive slaves sought safety ! in the north in the days of the Amer ican Civil War. It is effective, how ! ever, for the behests of the exiled government are swiftly transmitted and are said to be obeyed to the let ter by the masses under the Japanese rule in Korea.
 Through the decade that has fol- lowed the annexation by Japan, Ba- ron Kim has worked for Korea's in 1 dependence.
 He said he escaped with a party 1 from Korea by a perilous march i overland, Going by devious routes l through the toughest country and ! travelling for the most part at night. In their 8 final dash they waded
 through swamps, crossed rivers in 1 dugouts, hid through days in fields 1 and slashed their way through under
 brush before they knew they were 1 safe in China.
