II Is alleged by some foreigners
that the Japanese officials in Korea

II IS a matter of regard that Amer

lean governmental regulations from
taking any part whatsoever in
political matters in Korea. This
was brought out at the time OF the
independence demonstrations last
year when the American consulate
general mailed copies OF instruc-
tons intendsd 20 guide Americans

come years before from the state
department in Washington.
At the time OF the independence

induce the missionaries to exert
their influence 10 restrain the in

declined 10 take any action on the
ground that the matter was political.

authorities contend that the matter
