Koreans Will Not
 Acquiesce to the
 Rule of Japanese

Shanghai, Feb. 23.-The Koreans will suffer eXtermination before they will acquiesce in the rule of Japan, declares Baron Kim Ka-chin, formerly one of Korea's elder states men and officials who has penetrat- ed the Japanese cordon around Ko- req He is now one 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 con trol all the sources of wealth and rapidly are acquiring actual owner ship of the land. The Korean ma tion, he said, is without mouth piect, for he asserted not one Ko- rean newspaper edited by Koreans is permitted to exist and pubic meetings are wholly forbidden.
 Not more than three people, even for social purposes, may gather and talk together" he said. "All of the schools of hte country are under the direction of Japanese teachers and the instruction is given in the Ja- panese yanguage from Japanese text books"
 He said that the history that is taught to children is garbled in such a way as to glorify Japan and dscredi: Korea.
 "Japan's course,' he declared, has been driving the people out of Korea into Manchuria at the rate of 100000 a year. This is because the Japanese have taken control of everything. They operate the rail ways, the banks, transportation lines, and customs offices and in those few places where there are Korean officials the Japanese ad- wiser is never far distant.
 "Even the Japanese ricksha coolies are favored for they are permitted to solicit fares at exits of railway stations and other places from which the Korean ricksha men are barred.
 Japanese servants in private homes are empowered to check eX- penditures in these homes and to forbid any of which they do not approve and the Korean who desires to withdraw money which he has deposited in bank must first ob- tain permission from the police to do so.
 "Since the revolution started, Baron Kim said, "the jails have been filled 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 mili- .tary turned. upon them. The people may die. They will never yield"
 Baron Kim, who is "A years old, came to Shanghai to become part of the officialdom of republic that exists only in the hopes and prayers of the people of Korea, for the leaders of the revolutionists, with the pattern of government made up of officials chosen secretly last together here with Shanghai as tne1f CdplpdI Il He So'iiASS1iOt'5 M tween this government and the peo.. ple of Korea is a carefully guarded secret, and is system not unlike the underground railroad" by which fugitive slaves sought safety in the North in the days of the American Civil war. It is effective, however for the berests of the exiled gov. ernment are swiftly transmitted and are said to be obeyed to the letter by the masses under the Japanese rule in Korea.
 Through the decade that has fol- lowed the annexation by Japan, Bar on Kim has worked for Korea's in- dependence.
 He said he escaped with party from Korea hy a perilous march overland, going by devious routes through the toughest country and travelling for the most part at night. In their final dash they waded through swamps, crossed rivers in dugouts, hid through days in fields and slashed their way through un- derbrush before they knew they were safe in China.
