JAPAN AND KOREA.
A RESUMPTION OF NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA LOOKING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FULL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS, WHICH HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED IN TOKYO, REPRESENTS A VICTORY FOR MODERATION AND PATIENCE. IN THIS CASE THE MAJOR CONCESSION HAS BEEN MADE BY THE FREE KOREANS, WHO WERE DEEPLY AFFRONTED BY JAPAN'S DECLARED PURPOSE TO REPATRIATE KOREANS TO THE COMMUNIST NORTH WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE FREE REPUBLIC. ON THAT BASIS THEY BROKE OFF THE NEGOTIATIONS.
FORTUNATELY THE INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS, TO WHICH JAPAN HAD APPEALED, HAS NOT AGREED TO PLAY THE PART FOR WHICH THE JAPANESE HAD HOPED, AND THE REPATRIATION ISSUE POLL AT A STANDSTILL. IT OUGHT TO REMAIN THERE FOR SOME TIME, UNTIL A BETTER CLIMATE OF AGREEMENT CAN BE REACHED. THIS IS THE POINT AT WHICH JAPAN SHOULD, INTURN, NOW MAKE A MOJOR CONCESSION.
IT CAN BE MISLEADING TO MAKE SNAP JUDGMENTS ON THE KOREA-JAPAN CASE WITHOUT SOME FEELING FOR THE DEEP BACKGROUND OF EMOTION AND BEHAVIOR THAT IS INVOLVED ON BOTH SIDES. THE KOREANS WERE CAPTIVES OF THE JAPANESE FOR ALMOST HALF A CENTURY AND WERE NEVER RESIGNED TO THEIR CAPTIVITY. THEY STILL BEAR DEEP SCARS IN THEIR HEARTS AS PRESIDENT SYNGMAN RHEE DOES ON HIS BODY.
THE JAPANESE, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE NOT REGARDED THE KOREANS AS EQUALS AND FIND IT HARD TO GET USED TO THAT IDEA. MOREOVER, MANT OF THE KOREANS RESIDENT IN JAPAN HAVE NOT BEEN REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BEST QUALITIES OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT SOME OF THOSE KOREANS IN JAPAN HAVE BEEN, AND SOME STILL ARE, COMMUNIST AGENTS, THE JAPANESE WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE THE BOOK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
BUT THERE SOME BIGGER FACTORS THAT MUST ALSO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. JAPAN AND A FREE KOREA MUST LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE IF THERE IS TO BE PEACE IN THE FAR EAST. THEY CAN BE MUTUALLY HELPFUL, IF THERE IS ENOUGH UNDERSTANDING AND GOOD WILL ON BOTH SIDES. THE KOREANS DO NOT PROPOSE TO BE A DUMPING GROUND FOR CHEAP JAPANESE MANUFACTURE AT THE EXPENSE OF DEVELOPING THEIR OWN INDUSTRY. AND THE JAPANESE DO NOT LIKE TO SEE THEIR ACCUSTOMED AND VITAL FISHING GROUNDS CURTAILED BY WHAT THEY REGARD AS PURE KOREAN CHAUVINISM.
THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN OTHER SHARP ISSUES THAT MUST EVENTUALLY BE RESOLVED, BEFORE JAPAN AND A FREE KOREA CAN BECOME REALLY "GOOD" NEIGHBORS, BUT THAT IS NOT MERELY A DESIRABLE GOAL, IT IS AN IMPERATIVE. OUR OWN EFFORTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED, THEREFORE, TO PROMOTING THE LARGEST POSSIBLE DEGREE OF RESILIENCE OF BOTH SIDES.
