The raid, which was regarded by many as the testing of an offensive on a larger scale, was something which Hitler never dared to try. The great raid was backed up by swarms of planes and numerous naval vessels. Raiders even landed tanks for the battle. About 275 German planes probably were destroyed or damaged in the raid, which was described as a "successful demonstration of co-ordina tion of all three services"?army, navy and air. Two Nazi shore batteries and a radio location station were destroyed, and heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy. Bennett Nominated for New York Governor John J.

Korea today is an object lesson to the world of what can happen to a nation that is conquered by Japan. Koreans, during the years Df Japanese occupation, have been enslaved as no other people in the modern world. During the long years of peace 9ince Japan conquered Korea, she has had every opportunity to show to this prostrate, disarmed and helpless people some glimmer of justice, fairness and common hu manity. She has shown none. With every passing year of her rule of torture, she has ground the Korean people into a deeper humiliation. Yet she has not broken the spirit of the Koreans, and she knows it. Japan knows that in Korea, at her very doorstep in Asia, she has 22, 000,000 deadly enemies who would fight her tomorrow if they had arms in their hands. Rule by Armed Force, The Japanese government in Ko rea is an army-police dictatorship. The dictator is the Japanese gov ernor-general, responsible to no one except to the emperor of Japan? which means, in practice, the mili tary clique around the emperor. The governor - general rules through swarms of Jap police and secret police?spies?backed up by an army of occupation. Under this rule the Korean has no rights which the Japanese must respect. Suppose you are a Korean living in Korea today. If you walk down the street you can be slapped, spat upon, or kicked by any Jap who does not happen to like your, looks, or who thinks you did not jump off the sidewalk quickly enough as he approached. Theoret ically, you can sue the Jap in court for redress. In practice, if you make any protest, the Jap police will mark you as a trouble maker and then you are in for it. The rvtlion oars roimK waii* at any moment, without notice. They can arrest you without a warrant. Once arrested, you cannot see a lawyer, or even send word to your relatives where you are. You are presumed guilty. You can be flogged or tortured without trial and without appeal. You may be held for months or for years; you may be beaten to death or crippled for life. If, as occasionally happens, the police de sire the formality of a trial, you are tortured with fire and the rack un til you sign a fake confession. "But surely," you may say, "such cruelties are unusual." They are not unusual, they are the rule. They happen to hundreds of ordinary peo ple in Korea every day. Every year tens of thousands of Koreans are flogged and tortured without trial. It can happen at any time to any Korean, man, woman or child. Japan's Peace Terms. What Japan has done in Korea she will do in the Philippines, in Burma, in the East Indies, in China and in India, if she wins this war. She will do it in the United States if she makes good the boast of the Jap admirals who say they will "dictate the peace terms in the White House in Washington." Japan's most effective slogan in this war is that she is fighting for the freedom and prosperity of her Asi atic neighbors?"Asia for the Asiat ics." Millions of people in India, Burma and the East Indies may have believed this slogan. I bid them look at Korea. Japan's true purpose is "Slavery for Asiatics Un der Japanese Masters," and of that Korea is the living proof. This will give some idea of how Koreans, of every class and busi ness, exist under the brutal heel of Japanese rule. Most Koreans are farmers. If you own a farm on land so barren that you can hardly scratch a miserable living off it, the Japs may let you keep it?though they will seize any crop at starvation prices for the Japanese army. If your farm has . fertile land, the Japs gTab it under legal pretext, then take you back on the land as a tenant or laborer, but actually as a slave. America in Korea. Today in Korea, key point of Asia, 22 million people stir again and dream of freedom. But when Korea is first set free, she will be almost as helpless as a man who has been bound up for many years in chains. That is what Jap rule has done. Americans were their good friends in earlier days. Americans built the first railroad, the first electric light plant, the first water works in Korea. They constructed the first large Korean steamboats, and I taught Koreans modern mining methods.
