JAPANESE IN KOREA
MISSIONARIES IMPUGNED. THE FRIENDS OF PLOTTERS. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received December 6, 5.5 p.m. TOKIO, December 5. Major-General' Sato, the spokesman of the War Office, in a statement regarding the missionaries, said it was a coincidence that many of the plotters who had been executed were Christians, but the plotters in many instances had allied themselves with the missions in order to gain the security these afforded. The missionaries accusing the Japanese troops ot cruelty were themselves the cause of the tragedy. He regretted that the Koreans were not awake to the fact that their real grievance was against these mischief-making missionaries. Japan allowed full religious liberty, but would not allow treason, which threatened to undermine the foundations of the Empire.
