January 10, 1957
No.54
To : Minister Yong Shik Kim
From: The President
Thank you for your several letters Nos. 104, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 2.
I have carefully read your Political Reports Nos. 49, 50 and 1, and noted their contents. I know you will do all you can to stop the Japanese members of the Diet from visiting north Korea. I think if you tell the Foreign Office that we deeply resent such an action and that it will widen the rift between our two countriea 1 know the Japanese government will stop their going.
Much has been said in your report as well as in newspaper clippings that the Ishibashi government will call for a new election.
Due to my vacation in Chinhae the mail had accumulated and I shall try to answer them as briefly as I can.
▣104 - In your letter to Secretary Robertson you failed to mention that a tremendous amount of seaweed is already in Japan, but waiting to be purchased.
▣105 - On page two, 3rd paragraph, you insisted that Japan should not "detain the Koreans in question until the matter is settled at a formal conference." We never asked that. We only requested them not to arrest or detain Koreans without legal charge. You seemed to have misunderstood my instructions and I am afraid I did not make them clear to you before.
Thank you for sending me the outline of the Russo-Japanese peace treaty and the terms of the Bulganin Line.
I am glad you net the successor of Gordon Walker and hope you will be able to talk to him from time to time and present our point of view. So far the Christian Science Monitor has been rather onesided.
In your letter ▣2, paragraph 4, you again mentioned "not to detain our residents." I know you meant "without legal charge." You should always make it clear to them that we do not want to be unfair and demand anything unjustified but they should not arrest or detain any of our people "without legal charge."
You again requested cable instruction in letter ▣2. I do not know what more instructions you need. There are no new ones since I last wrote to Ambassador Yang on October 4, 1956, No.90. Only recently I added in my letter No.52 that if they do not wish to release the legal residents who are now held in OMURA camp but prefer to return them to Korea they must pay $500 to each. xx This is the only concession we made. I can not understand why the Japanese papers report that you are waiting for instructions.
You mentioned that the Japanese papers reported that we asked the Japanese government to compensate the Korean residents. The money matter should have been discussed first with the Japanese Foreign Office and until a definite understanding had been reached you should not have mentioned anything at all to the press. You may have embarrassed the Japanese government by not talking it over with them and waiting for a decision on the matter.
Am I right to deduce from your letters that in your conferences with the Japs you have come so far as to make them promise they will withdraw the Kubota statement and the property claim, and release all OMURA camp detainees and we on our part would release all their fishermen who have served their terms? Please let me know immediately if my conclusion is right or not.
Another point in your letter is that you have discussed the return of certain illegal entrants. I know I had written you about it for over a year if not longer and by this time the Japanese could have made some arrangement for their residence permits to expire and shown their intention of creating a friendly atmosphere by complying with our demands.
xx Plus personal properties.
