An official Treasury statement
made plain today that the order
suspending all japanese financial
transactions prohibits the transfer
of money or other assets to all
japanese regardless of how long they
may have lived in this country.
Under previous orders freezing
cash assets, such restrictions did not
apply to japanese who had lived in
this country continuously prior to

for Japanese, but also to prevent

boxes.

American and Latin Americans or
any other nationality, which in some
way might benefit the japanese,
