| Even in July, when the plan became one for surrender, including dissolution of the military and renunciation of Okinawa, Bonin and Karafuto (Sakhalin), it never included cession of the Southern Kuriles. Nowadays, in towns like Otaru and other parts of Hokkaido, it's not hard to find old men who once lived on Sakhalin and who, after a sufficient amount of liquor, start griping about Russia's unlawful takeover of Karafuto, the old Japanese name for Sakhalin. In 1939, for example, the central scientific research laboratory of the colony of Karafuto staged an exhibition on the development of the area which it labelled "the Northern Region of East Asia" (Toa Hoppo). |
