Your Excellency,
On Tuesday December 20th, I went to see Assistant Secretary of State Mr. J. Graham Parsons to discuss Korea-Japan relations particularly on the question of Japan's deportation of our Korean residents in Japan to the northere part of our country and into Communist slavery.
I pointed out to him in no undertain terms that I personally was deeply concerned over the final outcome of the deportation of our people, knowing the Communists' method of foreing people against their will to do things that they would not do under normal conditions. Again, I tried to bring to their attention how the Japanese and the Communists have changed the two articles in the Guide Book in order to intimidate many of these innocent people to go to the northern part of Korea. According to the State Department they tried to stop the change in the Guide Book. However, we all know the Japanese went right ahesd and changed it anyway.
When speaking of free choice and their desire to go to their original birthplace, I pointed out that we know a tremendous number of those people who are being sent to the Communists, have never even seen that land bacause they were born and raised in Japan and originally most of these people came from the southers part of Korea.
I told Mr. Parsons that I did not come to him because I had received an order from the Government to discuss those matters with him, but I just wanted to express personally my deep regret that the American Government did not stand up very strongly against the Japanese scheme and their double-talk. In other words, I wanted to be absolutely on record that the Department of State was wrong in not preventing this tragedy.
Then I told him that many newspaper correspondents have approached me and asked it President Eisenhower is going to visit Korea on his way back from the Moscow trip because the newspaper from Japan are saying that President Eisenhower is to visit Japan. I told Mr. Parsons that Your Excellency had extended an invitation to President Eisenhower to visit Korea some months ago. He very frankly stated that there is absolutely no definite plan at the present time for President Eisenhower to visit either Japan, Korea or anywhere eIse. However, he felt very strongly that President Eisenhower should visit the Far East at that time, and that if he goes to Japan certainly he will make it a point that President Eisenhower visits Korea. Right now it is all nothing but rumor with no basis at all.
The next question was the Japanese agreeing to pay a certain sum of money to our Government For the resettlement of our residents in Japan to Korea. I told him that I had heard that the Japanese told our delegation in Japan that the United States Government would advance the money for whatever amount is decided upon. Mr. Parsons said certainly there must be some mistake, somewhere because the United States Government cannot guarantee the payment under any circumstances of any sum without the U.S. Congress approving of a budget for such purposs. Ambassador MacArthur in Japan told Ambassador Yiu very clearly that the U.S. Government cannot, and will not, advance any money for such purposes. Besides, I understand the American Embassy in Seoul told our Foreign Office about this matter because they did not wish any misunderstandings.
However, Mr. Parsons told me that the State Department had been informed that the Japanese are willing to pay up to $1500 per family unit and a total of up to $10 million. This he understend was to be paid in yen. When I asked him what good yen would be in Korea, he explained that the yen could be converted into dollars because he was informed it is not from blocked money. He very strongly stated that he wished that this problem could be settled real soon in order to have moat of our Korean people repatriated to the Republic of Korea and stop the Communist propaganda of a Utopia, behind the Iron Curtain. He felt that, as soon as the Korean residents begin to be repatriated to the Republic of Korea, no one will want to go to the Communist side.
With renewed sentiments of loyalty and esteem, I remains,
Respectfully yours,
You Chan Yang
His Excellency Dr. Syngman Rhee President of the Republic of Korea Seoul
