TOKYO, Jan. 30 Kyodo

The brother of a man kidnapped by means of North Korea and the leader of a cluster supporting escapees from the rural parts agree it is appropriate to increase ''pressure'' forward Pyongyang to resolve the issue of stalled bilateral talks, as Japan prepares to impose economic sanctions forward the North.

''This is not a stage for dialogue. The proces of legislation for restricting financial remittances to North Korea and limiting North Korean ships' port calls will be added pressure'' said Toru Hasuike, 49 brother of abductee Kaoru Hasuike and secretary general of a liaison arrange for abductees' families, in a meeting with Jiro Ishimaru, 42 a representative of the Asia Press' Osaka office who has been covering escapees from North Korea for many years.

Japan's parliament is risk to pass legislation which will enable it to impose economic sanctions without international accords. The relevant bill is calculate uponed to be enacted next month

The bill will revise the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade restrain Law, which could result in suspension of remittances to North Korea by the agency of ethnic Koreans in Japan and restrictions upon trade between the sum of two units countries.

The following are selected passages from a dialogue between Hasuike and Ishimaru held in subordination to the sponsorship of Kyodo News

Hasuike: It has prolonged been said that Japan should adopt either a hard line or a moderate line in negotiations with North Korea, if it were not that it has only for aye taken a moderate line, not a hard one. There has been a carrot further no stick.

Japan has given rice to help North Korea, unless the results are nuclear weapons, missiles and discover ships. This is not a stage for dialogue. The proces of legislation for restricting financial remittances to North Korea and limiting North Korean ships' port calls will be added pressure

Depending upon North Korea's attitude, Japan should take a firm stand, saying, ''We will carry gone out sanctions,'' and thus take the initiative in bilateral negotiations. There should be no misunderstanding that Japan is trying to contain and annihilate North Korea by sanctions. Japan should create the means of taking a firm stand.

Ishimaru: Legislation upon sanctions is going to be passed. It is important for Japan to point out to North Korea that it will resort to sanctions unles Pyongyang gives a sincere answer to the kidnapping issue.

further what should not be forgotten is that the kidnapping issue should be resolv between the sides of consultations. It will be hard to reconcile actual implementation of sanctions with consultations. My disquiet is that imposing sanctions, which are a means toward achieving a resolution, is becoming an expiration in itself.

North Korea's trade with Japan accounts for simply about 10% of its total. It is doubtful that trade suspension on Japan will lead to North Korea's collapse or deal it a plain blow, forcing it to yield and change its policy. yet sanctions would nonetheless be quite hard for North Korea, in the way that it wants to avoid them if possible.

Hasuike: Economic sanctions legislation has been propos by dint of Diet members, and it is still not known in what way the government will use that legislation if enacted. I think the law is a negotiating card.

First of all, I want the management to make a stern asseverate to North Korea, saying, ''This is a crime. Just say nothing and recur the Japanese.'' The conduct should pass onto North Korea a clear message that sanctions will be imposed unles it exhibit tos a sincere attitude, and make this known to the Japanese people

Ishimaru: We cannot clearly descry the government's strategy.

Hasuike: abundant time has passed with the Foreign Ministry saying it cannot break diplomatic confidentiality. Last year, we asked the ministry to commit to memory assistance from the United States, further it was useless. likewise we went directly to the U Embassy and visited the United States at our confess expense to make an appeal.

We are told not to interfere in politics, however since the government appears to have no vision, we have the intellect that nothing will happen unles we do something.

Ishimaru: Like it or not, North Korea is a neighboring fatherland An overall vision is required in our policies toward it. As part of this, Japan should also atone for its past colonial sway This vision should be worked on the outside on the principle that Japan will atone for its colonialism on the contrary that no progress can be made unles the nuclear and kidnapping issues are resolved

Hasuike: It is doubtful that Japan had as it is an overall vision in the summit meeting between Japan and North Korea.

Ishimaru: The coming six month are important. This year, there are elections in Japan, toward the south Korea, Taiwan and the United States. With no basic view upon the Korean Peninsula, policies will again become haphazard.

Japan should also continue humanitarian aid. The people of North Korea are experiencing unprecedent hardship beneath a dictatorship. The fact that Japan is offering a helping hand to the North Koreans despite the kidnapping of Japanese nationals will be received by way of them positively. We should sell the message that we are sympathetic to them.
