Kilsoo Haan, Korean Spy,
Says Loss of Homeland
Won't Mean End of Japs
By Mary Jo Ramaker

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 2 U.R)
The fall of the Japanese home
land does not necessarily mean
the end of the war in the Pa
cific. Kilsoo Haan, the Korean spy
who in 1941 futilely tried to
warn the American people of a
war with Japan, predicted in Ta
coma today that the next main
step in the war in the Pacific
will be the invasion of the south
eastern tip of the Siberian penin
sula by Japan.
Haan said that reports from
Korean espionage agents In
Tokyo Indicate that the Japa
nt will strike from Manchuria
and Sakhalin in an attempt to
atn nnecpssinn of the
Manchuria-Siberia peninsula di
rectly facing the Japanese home
land. Could Move Plants
"If this can be done, it will
mean that the Japanese will be
able to move their factories, mu
nitions plants and othei essen
tial Industries onto the peninsula
where they can carry on the war
if the Americans capture Japan
proper," Haan declared.
The distinguished-looking Ko
rean went on to explain that the
Japanese have already moved
much of their equipment and
many of their people into Man
'curia. "They are drafting men and
women Into war industries and
shipping them to Manchuria to
tarry on the war production."
Haan revealed. "It would take
approximately 200,000 men to
keep up the defensive war in
the Pacific islands, and since the
Japanese have about four mil
lion men in uniform, they could
Invade the maritime peninsula
without overtaxing their
strength on other fronts."
Invasion Soon
According to the underground
agent, the invasion of the penin
sula will come soon He said that
with the installation of a new
Japanese cabinet, he believes a
more offensive war will be car
ried on by Japan.
"We expect the invasion of
Siberia very soon," Haan de
clared. "All through his military
career, and while he was commander-in-chief
of the Kwantung
army, Umezu has had his eye on
Russia. Now that he has replaced
Tojo as chief of the general staff
we expect him to strike at any
time."
Haan also predicted that the
war with Japan will be over
within one year after the fall of
the Nazi regime. Japanese mili
tary officials do not believe the
Germans can hold out longer
than December at the latest, he
declared, basing his remarks on
reports of a recent Japanese con
ference which have just reacedl

"The Japanese DeoDle are psy-
entire chologically different from the
Americans, he said. "When Ger
many collapses far as the Japa
nese are concerned the war
will be half over In a mass, the
Japanese are great fighters, but
individually, they lack the initi
ative of the Americans.
"The big blunder of World
War II," Haan believes, "was the
publication of the terms of the
Atlantic charter."
Haan said that the Korean un
derground knew that Japan was
ready for war. However, until
the terms of the charter were
published, Japan believed the
United States would remain neu
tral. "When Japan read the terms
of the charter on Aug. 14, 1941,
she decided that the best way
for her to help Germany was to
strike before the United States
could prepare fully for war.
Four months later. Pearl Harbor
was bombed."

75,000 DRESSINGS
IS
Workers have made a total of
125,000 surgical dressings this
summer, according to Mrs. Gus
Newbury, chairman of the Red
Cross surgical dressings depart
ment, and this figure is recorded
on the thermometer in the win
dow of Lantis and Johnson's
shoe store. Mrs. Newbury states
that 75.000 are yet to be made
during August in order to com
plete the summer quota of
200,000.
"This figure, 75,000, is a large
number of dressings to be made
in one month," Mrs. Newbury
states, "but if the women of the
valley will continue to give us
their support, with just a little
more added, we will complete
the quota and have the dressings
on their way by the end of
August.
"Jackson county never 'falls
down' on a quota of any kind,
so we must certainly live up to
that reputation, especially when
the need for these dressings is
so great.
"When this quota Is finished,
the Jackson county chapter will
have made and shipped a million
surgical dressings since the
workroom was opened Oct. 23,
1942. In that time the room has
never been closed on one of our
work days, except on holidays.
We feel that the women who
have worked so faithfully dur
ing this time are entitled to a
short rest, so when the quota is
completed the workroom in the
courthouse will be closed for a
two-weeks period. Then we will
be back to start on another mil
lion, if need be."
