I. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT OF KOREA-JAPAN EXPULSION CASE
In order to break the deadlock between the Japanese side--the Japanese Government and the Japan Red Cross -and the "Choryun," a pro-Pyongyang organization of Korean communists in Japan, over the disputed revision of the so-called "Repatriation Guide Book," a mediatory group was formed in the early part of October among the representatives of such pro-communists organizations of Japan as the "Repatriation Cooperation Association," the "Japan-north Korea Association," and the Japanese Socialist Party. Efforts had been made by them to bring about an agreement on the said problem. The group presented to the both sides on October 23 what they called "draft mediation plan." The both sides respectively showed their inclination of accepting the plan.
Thus, the gaps between the stands of the Japanese side and the "Choryun" being much narrowed, meetings were held between the representatives of the JRC and of the "Choryun." And, finally, they reached an accord on October 27 with respect to the "new directives," prepared by the Japanese side, which substantially changed the context of the "Guide Book" and provided for the actual procedures for the deportation of the Korean residents to the northern part of Korea.
Following the above meetings, the JRC asked Dr. Lehner, head of the ICRC Mission in Japan, for ICRC's approval thereto Dr. Lehner referred it to the ICRC head garters in Geneva on Oct. 28th for the latter's perusal.
In reply to the request made by the Japanese side through Dr. Lehner, the ICRC sent a message to the President of the JRC on October 30, 1959, by way of the Japanese Government mission in Geneva. In the message, the ICRC does not give Japan its approval; it simply states that the ICRC's collaboration would be conditioned whether the JRC respects the four principles as set forth by the ICRC and that "only when the procedures laid down by the JRC has been put to the test can the ICRC be in a position to make known to the JRC whether this procedure corresponds to the said principles." Thus, the ICRC, cautiously refrained from making any commitment, reserving its right to make its position known in future.
Nevertheless, the Japanese side widely propagandized that the ICRC gave it a green light to go ahead with the said "directives," and "registration" was virtually resumed on November 4th.
Before the registration works were resumed, the "Choryun" revealed its schedule that four or five thousand Koreans would apply for registration for a few days. As of November 6, the turnout at the "registration windows" was 5461, figure of which is quite smiler to what was made public by the Korean communists. It is also reported that there were many Koreans who applied for "repatriation" in group of hous sholds under the direction of the "Choryun." Circumstances being as such, it is quite evident that "registrations" are being carried out not on an "individual and voluntary basis." Rather, the registrations are going on under the dicsation and time-table of the "Choryun" on group basis The first one of the four principles of the ICRC is that the repatriation of Koreans residing in Japan is on a strictly individual and voluntary basis." Therefore, the group applications mentioned in the above runs counter to the said principles.
The second one of the said four principles is that the Koreans concerned should fully be informed of the "free choice" open to them. However, a large number of the Koreans concerned are illiterate and unable to read poster or to understand the meaning of their going to communist slavery. They are very vulnerable to communists' propaganda. Such being the case, there is no denving that the JRC cannot fully inform the Koreans concerned of the "free choice" open to them, by merely showing them without any explanation a poster hanging against wall on which something is written.
The ICRC warned Japan in its message against any pressure to be applied to the Koreans concerned. However, under such procedures as set forth in the "new directives" and when the registration is carried out under strict control by the "Choryun," it is nonsense to expect that the Koreans under reference would be free from any pressure.
The ICRC also demands that the Koreans concerned should be in a position to consult the representatives of either the JRC or the ICRC. But, once they are put into Niigata center, they can hardly be able to consult the representatives concerned because the number of the representatives are too limited in comparison with the number of the Korean internees and because they are always watched and tightly controlled by communist agents.
It is noted that Dr. Lehner warned when he was leaving Japan for Geneva on November 2 that the ICRC might witheraw from the deportation works if registrations are carried out, according to political instructions, on "group basis" and "under pressure of outsiders."
II. ANNUAL SESSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL NORTH PACIFIC FISHERIES COMMISSION
The annual session of the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission was convened on November 2 at Seattle, U.S., and ended on November 7, The next annual session is scheduled to meet on November 7, 1960 in Vancouver, Canada.
The Commission was established under an international convention among the United States, Canada, and Japan on May 9, 1952 to regulate the fisheries in the waters of North Pacific Ocean. In accordance with Paragraph 5 of Article II of the Convention, the Commission meets at least once every year.
During the meetings of the Commission this year, the United States delegation proposed that the boundary line for Japanese fishing vessels in the North Pacific area be moved farther west to "help preserve Alaska's red salmon species." But, according to news reports, the proposal was turned down by the objections immediately raised by the Japanese delegation Iwao Fijita, chairman of the Japanese section, stated that there had been insufficient research to justify such change. The delegation of Canada supported the United States'.
The United States delegation urged at the last year's session of the Commission held in Tokyo that the existing treaty lines at 175 degrees West Longitude be moved about 500 miles west to 170 degrees West Longitude. But, at those meetings, the Japanese side blocked the proposal on the ground What it had been based an insufficient scientific research on red salmon resources.
Milton E. Brooding, chairman of the US section, said that if the Commission could not agree promptly on a solution to the boundary line issue, then, Japan should refrain voluntarily from intensive fishing in the disputed area so that the declining salmon species in Alaska could be conserved. He said at the beginning of the session that he did not see a leam of hope for the United States to expect Japan's concession with regard to this problem at the present session.
A summing-up statement adopted at the end of the session states, "There is 'final realization' that we here in the commission are unable to agree on an interpretation of the Protocol (concerning provisional fishing line), and recommend that our Governments solve this problem."
The Commission removed herring from the "abstention list" in the treaty, thus making such fishing in Alaska waters open to Japan. The Commission also reached a decision to publish its scientific reports and confidential documents.
In a farewell address, Chairman of the Commission Mr. Edward W. Allen said that the conservation of Bristol salmon remains a serious and unsolved problem" and urged finally that a more successful and effective conservation efforts be made by all of the contracting parties at the earliest possible time.
