MISSIONARY
OF JAP BRUTALITY
n
IN KOREAN REVOLT
| PEKING.—The Reverend Edward
j W. Thwing, oriental secretary of
| the International Reform bureau,
* who was in Korea in March and
personally witnessed some of the
■ disturbances resulting from the
■ Korean Independnce movement, de
: dares that “the lower Japanese
! officials and soldiers have acted
like lawless savages in dealing with
this peculiar situation.” The move
i ment in Korea is described by the
r Reverend Mr. Thwing, who for
t merly was an American missionary,
• as “a peaceful revolt which should
have been handled with the greatest
of tact.”
“In a remarkable manner.” he
1 said to The Associated Press, “the
5 Korean Independence movement has
manifested skill, courage and organ
ization that has been a great sur
prise to many. It has shown, more
than ever before, how unreasonable,
without justice, cruel and brutal
military rule of Japan is in this
land. I could hardly believe these
things if I had not seen them with
my own eyes.
“The police and soldiers have ar
rested old men and Kttle children
and cruelly beaten them. Little
girls of only ten years of age,
woman and school girls have been
shamefully treated and subjected to
physical punishment and torture for
no other crime than shouting with
[ peaceful enthusiasm for their own
country and crying out for the in
dependence which Japan had guar
anteed by solemn treaties.
"These things have been wit
nessed not by one or two, but by
scores of missionaries and others
in many parts of Korea during
March. If the world could only
know these things they would cer
tainly heed this cry of distress
from an oppressed people. But the
Japanese are doing all they can to
keep the world from knowing the
truth. A report has just come
that in one city, from which letters
have been sent, they are making it
very hard for the missionaries, even
hinting at deportation, unless the/
stop telling the truth.
“The following are some of the
things that I have actually seen
with my own eyes:
“Small school boys knocked down
and cruelly beaten by Japanese
soldiers. This was not a question
of arresting them, but savage un
justifiable barbarism.
"Soldiers stop and deliberately
fire into a crowd composed only of
girls and women, who were simply
shouting ‘ManseL’
“A small boy of ten years shot
through the back.
“An unresisting old man of 65
years, pounded, kicked and beaten
bv several Japanese soldiers, until
he could not walk.
“A crowd of about twenty school
girls, who were quietly walking
along the public road, not even
‘.shouting, chased by soldiers, beaten
■ with guns, knocked down, and so
shamefully treated that it made
one’s blood boil.
“Japanese firemen, chasing boys
and girls, with long iron hooks, try- i
ing to catch them with them.
“A Korean in a hospital, para-!
lyzed, with his head crushed in with j
one of these hooks.
“A man dying, shot through the
back.
“One hundred men with torn and
bloody clothes, tied together with
ropes, taken to jail.
“Two Koreans so injured that
they could not walk, tied down on a
springless cart and brought to jail.
“Men standing by, having no con
nection with the demonstration, and
yet knocked about, and attacked by
soldiers, who will attack anyone,
without regard to what they are
doing.
“An American missionary roughly
arrested, while standing in his-own
yard, and looking on, but doing
nothing else.
“Women knocked down with guns
and kicked into the ditch.
“These and many other things
have seen with my own eyes Other
foreigners have seen the same and
worse. One can little imagine the
reign of terror in all parts of this
[land, at the very time the Japanese
peace delegates are talking of
•humanity and justice and equality
of races.’ They don't know the
meaning of these words. And the
punishments and tortures at the
police stations and jails make a still
more awful story. I have seen men
■who were beaten on wooden crosses
by the Japanese.
“And why is all this cruel pun
ishment given? Not for rioting, or
for resisting arrest. I have not
seen one case of this; not for carry
ing dangerous weapons, they have
none; but just for shouting out the
desire of their hearts for the in
dependence of their countrv ”
