KOREAN REPATRIATION
WHEN THE JAPAN -NORTH KOREA REPATRIATION TALKS RUPTURED AND THE NORTH KOREAN DELEGATES RETURNED HOME LAST FRIDAY, IT LEFT A FEAR THAT VARIOUS PROBLEM MAY ARISE OVER THE JAPAN -KOREA RELATIONS IN FUTURE. WE CANNOT SPOT ANY VIRTUAL REASON FOR THE BREAK DOWN OF THE NEGOTIATIONS IN THE LIGHT OF JAPAN'S FINAL PROPOSAL OR IN THE NORTH KOREAN REPLY AND STATEMENT ON IT. THIS GIVES US A VAGUE IMPRESSION THAT THE NORTH KOREANS HAD FRAMED A PLOT AGAINST THE TALK'S SUCCESS BEFORE THEY CAME HERE TO NEGOTIATE. ONE MUST BEAR IN MIND THE "MUTUAL DISTRUST" BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. THE NORTH KOREANS BRANDED THE JAPANESE PROPOSAL AS DIRECTED BY THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT 'S POLITICAL INTENTION TO DESTROY THE REPATRIATION WORK. BUT THEY SHOULD KNOW THE RED CROSS ASSOCIATIONS OF THE TWO COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED BY THEIR GOVERNMENTS TO WORK ON THE REPATRIATION MATTER AND IT IS UNAVOIDABLE IF THE GOVERNMENT'S OPINION IS CONSIDERED IN SOME DEGREE---CHUBU NIPPONSHIMBUN (NAGOYA )
