...Presbyterian mission boards, North and South, spend more than $300,000 a year to support a Korean Presbyterian Church with 100,000 members. The Japanese Government feels less sure of Koreans than it does of Japanese, worries more about their exposure to Occidental influences. Increasingly in the past five years, beginning when Shinto services were held for soldiers dead in China and Manchukuo, the Government has put pressure upon Korean Christians to join in what it calls "patriotic" ceremonies at Shinto shrines. Christian teachers have been ordered to take their Christian classes to the shrines, join in observances which involve...
...this Tokyo has often in the past fashioned demands upon China of extortionate severity. There was a short, yelling chase down an alley and a Chinese policeman shot dead a man who was, said the police marksman, the man who threw the grenade. At first he was called a Korean, then a Chinese. His name did not come out last week. Before the parade could reform there occurred another, equally fatalistic demonstration. A Chinese patriot, who had watched the bomb explode, gave a shrill cry: "Long live the Kuomintang!" (Government Party), and committed suicide by leaping...
...bomb thrown by an insurgent Korean some years ago lodged 32 splinters in Mr. Shigemitsu's leg and forced its amputation.

His exile was spent in Wormwood Scrubs prison, where he served 18 months for misappropriating the funds of Chosen Corp., Ltd., a holding company for Korean mining stocks. His only previous brush with the law occurred in 1931, when a Devonshire Court fined him ?5 for coining Lundy money in the form of 50,000 "puffins"' and "half puffins" bearing his own likeness and that of Lundy's "national bird," the parrot-beaked sea-puffin (TIME...
...brownish-gray walls of broad weave and the walnut background of the show cases bring out the delicate colorings of the Chinese pottery which are in most museums lost in the glare of a white-walled room. This is well illustrated in the Korean Room where there is much pottery from 5th and 13th century tombs. The vases and bowls have a unique inlay which the Chinese were never able to achieve. This inlay gives them an extra richness when it is seen with the faint blues and greens of the ordinary glazed ware. This extra richness and beautiful coloring...
