한일회담 분과위원회의 경과보고
Tokyo, October 30, 1958
No.29
Dear Mr. President:
As I reported by cable Nos. MTB-031 of October 25, MTB-035 of October 27, and MTB-038 of October 28, respectively, the 5th meeting of the Sub-committee on Other Claims Regarding Korean Art Objects, the 10th meeting of the Committee on Legal Status of Korean Residents in Japan, and the 17th meeting of the Sub-committee on Vessels were held at the Japanese Foreign Ministry, respectively as follows:
1.) The 5th meeting of the Sub-committee on Other Claims Regarding Korean Art Objects ... at 10 a.m.,Oct.25,1958
2. The 10th meeting of the Committee on Legal Status of Korean Residents in Japan ... at 3 p.m.,Oct.27, 1958
3. The 17th meeting of the Sub-committee on Vessels ... at 3 p.m., Oct.28, 1958
I. Sub-committee on Other Claims Regarding Korean Art Objects
The Japanese side told us it was with regret that it was unable to give a reply to our request regarding the submittance of a complete list of Korean art objects, pending the decision by the higher Government officials in this regard. It added that the delay on the part of the Japanese Government in making decision was caused by internal political situation. However, the Japanese sids continued that it wanted to settle this problem with its sincerity.
At this session of the committee, our side, bearing in mind item I, Annex II of Government instruction WOIJONG. No.3554 dated September 18, 1958, centered our efforts to sound out the real Japanese intentions as to the problem of Korean residents in Japan. Thus, our delegation calmly put forward leading questions with a view to having the Japanese express what they have in their mind without reservation. In fact, as will be soon in the Gist of of Talks concerned, there are many things which the Japanses side disclosed unconsciously in regard to what the Japanese side has in its mind.
This delegation is now carefully studying on our arguments which could most effectively counter Japanese views at the next meeting. And we are going to counter the so-called Japanese views, upon our success in pulling out the real Japanese intention as to our proposal including property rights and occupations for our people in Japan.
Therefore, instructions of the Government on the points upon which particular emphasis should be placed in the course of the discussions regarding the above Japanese questions would be highly appreciated.
III. Sub-committee on Vessels
At this meeting the Japanese side entertained so-called legal argument to the effect that SCAPIN 2168 had been invalidated by the coming into force of the San Francisco Pease Treaty. Onr side countered the Japanese argument in this regard by giving full explanation on the legal basis of our claims under Agenda "A", based on SCAPIN 2168, USAMGIK Ordinance No.33 and Article 4 (b) of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. After repeatedly makking our position clear to the Japanese side in this regard, our side demanded that the Sub-committee should enter into discussions on substance of Agenda "A" without spending any more time for abstract arguments.
In the light of the above and inasmuch as the Japanese side is delaying the submittance of the list we requested, it is the view of this delegation that it would be better for our side to submit a complete list of vessels falling wthhin the scope of Agenda "A" at the next meeting with a view to expediting the proceeding of this Sub-committee. Government instructions in this regard would be highly appreciated.
With the sentiment of loyalty and esteem, I remain,
