work at the Margaret Sanger Papers in the History Department at New York University and was directed to your list as a place that might help us on a question we are struggling with. <br><br>In 1922 Margaret Sanger
traveled to Korea where she spoke to a luncheon meeting and noted that
the Mayor of Seoul also attended. We have been trying to identify him
and have found references to it being Gil Song, a Korean version of
Motaro Yoshimatsu. (from Edward I-te Chan, "Japanese Colonialism in
Korea and Formosa,"<i>Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies</i>, 1970). We
haven't been able to find any other information, other than that there is a
Motaro Yoshimatsu (1859-?) who in 1915-17 was Admiral of the Imperial
Japanese Fleet. (from Iwata Nishizawa's <i>Japan in the Taisho Era</i>,
[1917]). We are trying to verify that it is the same person, but we
don't read Korean or Japanese and haven't been able to locate any
additional information about any of the names. <br>
