The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Switzerland (Harrison)
2396. American interests—Japan. Legation’s 5303, August 27. With regard to paragraph A, does limitation apply to mail addressed to prisoners of war outside Japan proper and in Japanese territories overseas as well as to mail for civilian internees in those territories? Please request Japanese to state clearly what regions are included in terms “Japan proper” and “Japanese territories overseas”.
With regard to paragraph B, American Government wishes to point out that names of many prisoners of war and civilian internees have been received without information concerning the names of the camps where they are being held. For this reason much correspondence cannot be addressed by senders to camps.
