tian attacks in China, Korea and
Japan, the United States did not
hesitate to demonstrate and to call
upon other nations to protest, but
also to demand that the native Chris
tian converts in those countries be
protected. When Secretary of State
Seward was informed of the arrest
and imprisonment of some 63 men,
women and children, native Chris
tian Japanese at Nagasaki, in 1867,
under an old and obsolete law pro-
hibiting the Christian religion in
Japan, he Immediately instructed r.
B. Van Valkenburg. our representa-
tive there, to lodge strong protests
with the government Of Nagasaki to
obtain their release and the discon-
tinuance of religious persecution
there. Referring to the persecution of
1867, the then Secretary of State
proposed a united nations appeal
when he wrote to our representative
October 7, 1850 that "the tranasac-
ton furnishes what seems to be q
suitable occasion for appeal by the
representatives of all treaty powers
to the japanese government, to re-
peal and abrogate the law which
prohibits Christianity throughout the
empire. You will therefore diligent-
ly confer with those representa-
tives."
Left Out Of Covenant.
Concerted action by all the ma
tions in the matter of a universal
religious-freedom clause was pro-
posed by President Woodrow Wilson
at the Paris Peace Conference in
1919, to be included in the Covenant
of the League Of Nations. Although
not adopted, its influence was ap-
parent in the Mandates and the Mi
norities Treaties, which required ma
tions governing inundated peoples to
give them freedom Of conscience
and religion" (Article XXII.)
