DR.. Rhee
Korean Envoy
Tells How Japs
Enslaved Nation
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

An appeal to Americans for recog-
milton OF his government in exile
and for It's place In the lighting
line beside the United Nations was
sounded yesterday by DR.. Syngman
Rhee, chairman Of the Korean COM
mission representing the provisional
government Of Korea. before the
Womens National Democratic Club.
AZ guest speaker ut the weekly
luncheon of the club at Its head
quarters on New Hampshire avenue,
DR.. Rhee told how $4,000 900 Of his
countrymen, now under domination
Of Japan, were eagerly waiting for
An opportunity to take up arms
against the aggreSsor nation which
had enslaved his people since 1905.
DR.. Rhee, who has bitterly op-
posed japanese military and politi-
cal oppression since, and on whose
head the Japanese government has
placed . price Of $200, 900. declared
that the japanese have been pre-
pairing for war against the United
States for nearly 50 years. America,
he added, Is in grave danger and
needs every weapon 1t can place its
hands on to stop the japanese.
'~The greatest enemies of the Jap
anese are the Korean people," he
said. I'VE rose In revolt against
them In 1919. We are ready to do
so again. Don't you agree with me
when I ask why the $4,000, 900
Koreans are not given an oppor-
tunity to join forces with your"
The envoy told how In 1919 q
group Of Korean patriots had de-
ned death, torture and tmprison-
ment to meet in secret session, where
an election took place and . govern
ment was formed, now in exile in
Chunsking, China.
sThis government, now q years
old, has fought Japan SO long and
20 alone" he added.
DR.. Rhee said his government had
asked recognition Of the State De-
partment ever since the japanese
attack on Pearl .Harbor.
Think Of the psychological eject
on q, 900 900 people on Jspan's door,
step ready and willing to fly at the
throat Of every Japanese the mo-
ment q little encouragement and
aid are given," he commented.
DR.. Rhee explained that the
Korean government realized that
recognition by the United States
would not mean independence for
his people.
1--WE shall have to night for that
ourselves, and we are prepared to
fight for it," he said. Recognition
would mean that some Of the planes
and guns and munitions you are
turning out would not be denied us,
as they are now. Remember he
added, that every Japanese en-
gagged in fighting Koreans is one
less Japanese to fight an American
soldier"
Dr. Rhee was introduced by Mrs.
Charles Fahy, wife Of the solicitor
general. Mrs. j. Hamilton Lewis
