Tokyo, December 4, 1958
No.34
Dear Mr. President:
As reported by my cable Nos. MTB-071 of November 28, MTB-072 of November 29, MTB-073 of December 1, and MTB-075 of December 3, 1958, the 5th session of the Committee on Fisheries and Peace Line, the 10th session of the Subcommittee on Other Claims Regarding Korean Art Objects, the 1st session of the Sub-committee on Other Claims Regarding General Claims, and the 22nd session of the Sub-committee on Vessels were held at the Japanese Foreign Ministry on November 28, November 29, December 1, and December 2, 1958, respectively.
1. Committee on Fisheries and Peace Line:
The Japanese side submitted at this session a "Gist of Draft Japan-Korea Provisional Fisheries Agreement", together with a map indicating the areas covered by the above mentioned Japanese proposal. Reserving our views and questions regarding the foregoing gist untill the coming session, our side stated that the Japanese idea as contained in the said gist was too far from the Korean position on fishery problems.
The Government instructions on the steps to be taken by this delegation in connection with the aforementioned Japanese proposal would be highly appreciated.
11. Subcommittee on Other Claims Regarding Korean Art Objectes
The Japanese side stated at this meeting that, though a policy on fisheries problem was decided at a meeting of the Cabinet Ministers concerned held recently, the decision of the basic policy on art objects problem was not made at the meeting, as the majority at the said meeting held the view that the basic policy on art objects problem should be decided later in relation with other pending problems of the Talks. The Japanese side continued that it, therefore, was not in a position to express any concrete view on art objects at that stage. The Japanese side further said that meetings of higher levels of both sides would be necessary to consider the matters especially of art objects and vessels, from the overall aspects of the Korea-Japan Talks, and to re-examine the method of the proceedings of the respective sub-committees.
Our delegation reiterated our stand that the settlement of the matter on art objects should not be connected to the proceedings of other committees and that the Japanese side should give us a concrete reply to our request regarding art objects including the first gist thereof presented previously, pointing out the settlement of the Japanese internal political difficulties which had been alleged to be the cause for delaying the decision of policy on the art objects. As to the Japanese remark on the so-called re-examination of the method of proceeding of respective sub-committees, etc., we told the Japanese side that it could not but be construed as another Japanese excuse for causing another delay to the giving of definite answers to our request for return of art objects. Therefore, our side told the Japanese that the Japanese side should discontinue to use dragging-on tactics in the proceedings of the various committees.
Our side strongly told the Japanese side that a definite answer should be given to our request for return of Korean art objects at the earliest possible date.
III. Sub-committee on Other Claims Retarding General Claims:
As this was the first meeting to deal with the general claims under the Sub-committee on Other Claims, both sides introduced each other their respective members of this sub-committee. It was agreed that the sub-committee would follow the rules of procedure confirmed at the opening session of the Committee on Korean Claims.
Government instructions on the general guiding principles for conducting negotiations at this sub-committee would be highly appreciated.
IV. Sub-committee on Vessels:
At this meeting, our side reiterated that the Japanese side should give a reply to our lst list of 31 vessels of Korean registry, pointing out again that the legal basis of our claims under Agenda A had been repeatedly made clear to the Japanese side.
The Japanese side maintained that it received our ist list of vessels only for its own reference. The Japanese side also repeated the same remarks made at the previous meeting that the sub-committee should proceed to Agenda B, and, then, Agenda C and D, subsequently, in view of divergent views on the legal basis of Korean claims under Agenda A. Countering the Japanese insistence on the method of proceeding, our side restated that the sub-committee should settle first the problem under Agenda A and, only thereafter, it could take up the matter under Agenda B.
In accordance with Government instruction No.OIJUNG 4355 of November 24, the delegation put forward some questions to the Japanese side in the course of this session, and the Japanese answers thereto were as follows:
1) Regarding the words "received the list for reference", the Japanese side replied that it received the list only for reference, as it does not consider that Japan is legally obligated to return vessels under Agenda A. and that, therefore, the receipt of the list had nothing to do with the question on the return of those vessels.
2) The Japanese side stated that it raised a few questions on some vessels in the list under reference also for reference, which had nothing to do with the question on the return of such vessels.
3) In reply to our to repuest that the Japanese side present its point of view in writing, the Japanese side stated that, though it did not think it realistic and effective way for proceeding of the talks, if the Korean side were to present first the legal basis of its claims in a written form, the Japanese side would consider a reply thereto in writing.
With the sentiment of loyalty and esteem, I remain,
Most respectfully,
Ben C. Limb
