The Truth about "Confort Women"

Mr Moteki circulated a newsletter but misunderstandings happened practically. And he added a explanatory addition to clarify the true situation of the "Confort Women" .

His additional information is attached as follows.

「先日No.39を発信したあといただきました反応の中で、慰安婦は朝鮮人だけだったと誤解している方がかなりいらっしゃることが分かりました。慰安所は当時国内（日本・朝鮮）にあった売春宿が戦地に出張して営業したもので、従ってそこで働いていた慰安婦は日本人も朝鮮人もいたわけです。しかし、そのことはやはり確認の意味でも触れておかないといけないという事に気がつきました。

　秦郁彦教授は、『慰安婦と戦場の性』の中で、慰安婦の割合はおおよそ日本人４０％、朝鮮人２０％、其の他（現地の応募者等）３０％であったと推定しています。

　そもそも稼ぎとしてはかなり良い職場だったから慰安婦として出かけたのです。その補償のための基金とはいったい何事でしょうか。戦時中色々な職業の人が戦地で働き、つらい目にあった人もたくさんいたことでしょう。慰安婦に限って特に補償の基金を作るなどということは全くおかしなことです。しかもよりによって韓国人の慰安婦の為にこれをつくるとは！

　要するに未だに朝鮮人慰安婦の強制連行があった、などというウソを漠然と前提にしているからであるということです。こんなことをおこなうから、慰安婦＝女性挺身隊などという真っ赤なウソを韓国は未だに主張し、銅像を建て、更にはアメリカの新聞に意見広告を出すなどという愚行を続けることになるわけです。ウソはウソと明確に主張し、その証拠を世界に主張すべきです。
下記の通り、Ｎｏ．39の追加情報を海外に発信しました。

　　  　The Truth about the "Comfort Women"

After mailing out Newsletter No.39, I realized that one important point was missing in my Essay and this is that the comfort women were mostly Japanese. Since I explained that the "Comfort Women" houses were run by operators of prostitution,
I thought that it would have been taken for granted that the comfort women were mostly Japanese. But I recognize that there are many people who still think that the comfort women are all Korean. So, I'll add some information concerning this point.

Professor Hata Ikuhiko concludes in his book "Senjyo no ianhu" (“Comfort Women of the Battle Zone”) that roughly 40% were Japanese, 20% were Korean and 30% were of other ethnicities recruited mainly from the local area. It is very reasonable calculation since brothels were not an extraordinary things but commonplace? these just happened to operate in battle zones outside of Japan.
