SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
LITTLE LIGHT HAS BEEN GENERATED DURING THE LONG CONTROVERSY OVER THE REPATIATION OF KOREAN NATIONALS WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING IN JAPAN SINCE THE WORLD WAR 2 PERIOD.
MORE THAN 600,000 KOREANS ARE IN-VOLVED.
THE TOKYO GOVERNMENT HAS OFFERED THEN THE OPINION OF REMAINING IN JAPAN, PREFERABLY AS JAPANESE CITIZENS, OR RETURNING TO WHICHEVER PART OF KOREA (NORTH OR SOUTH)THEY WISH. ALTHOUGH THE INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS IS SUPERVISING REPATRIATION PROCEDURES, IN THE INTEREST OF INSURING THAT THE KOREANS' CHOICE SHALL BE A VOLUNTARY ONE, THE SEOUL GOVERNMENT HAS COMPLAINED THAT JAPAN IS ATTEMPTING TO DEPORT "HALF A MILLION. . . TO COMMUNIST SLAVERY. "SOUTH KOREA HAS TALKED VAGUELY OF FORCEFUL MEASURES TO PREVENT TRAVEL TO NORTH KOREA AND HAS ATTEMPTED TO ENLIST PUBLIC SUPPRT IN THIS COUNTRY FOR ITS POSITION.
WITHIN RECENT DAYS, HOWEVER, OUR OWN STATE DEPARTMENT WHICH INITIATED AN INTENSIVE STUDY OF THE DIAPUTE SOME MONTHS AGO HAS TAKEN A PUBLIC POSITION ON THE MATTER WHICH SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT. THROUGH LINCOLN WHITE, PRESS OFFICER, THE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE REPATRIATION (NOT DEPORTATION) WILL BE BASED ON COMPLETE FREEDOM OF CHIOCE, THAT THERE ARE ACCEPTABLE ASURANCES OF NO COERCION BY JAPANESE AUTHORITIES, AND THAT ACTUALLY ONLY ABOUT 200 RATHER THAN TENS OR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE SIGNED UP TO GO TO NORTH KOREA.
ON THIS BASIS, THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SOUTH KOREAN AGITATION. THE INTERESTS OF THE NON-COMMUNIST WORLD, AND PARTICULARY OF PEACEFUL RELATIONS IN THE FAR EAST, WOULD BE BETTER SERVED IF SEOUL AND TOKYO WOULD SEEK TO PATCH UP THIS PARTICILAR QUARREL.
