ABSTRACT
IT is asserted by Japanese and their spokesmen in America that Nipponese rule in Korea has been a material boon to Korea, and that the Land of Morning Calm is economically better off to-day than ever before. But what is meant by “better”? Who has paid for these improvements, and who is to bear the burden of the debt created to make them? Is the average individual Korean any better off to-day than he was before?
