Through the Swiss government
the state department announced
Welles has sent a message TO the
Japanese government saying:
eff the japanese government
will not permit the KanangOora
to proceed on Its proposed vOy-
age to the Far East with the
supplies I'm question, then the
United States government pro-
poses that the japanese gov
eminent agree that the Kanan-

shall proceed to Lourenco Mar

nese government will similarly
send a Red Cross ship to receive

eminent Welles noted that the
Japanese government has agreed
TO apply the provisions of the
Geneva prisoners Of war conven-
ton.
He said the American Red Cross
has assumed the Japanese gov
eminent would grant safe conduct
for a Red Cross ship to transport
supplemental supplies Of food and
clothing destined to American and
other prisoners of war and civilian
internees in Japanese custody as
the German and Italian govern
ments have done for supplies
being sent for prisoners and in
terneeS in their custody.

also carry the food supplies for

Welles pointed out that the
motorship Gripsholm, which has
been used by the United States
government in the exchange of
japanese and Americans at LOU
renco Marques, does not have suf-
ficient cargo-carrying capacity TO
carry the supplies to prisoners
and internees in the Far East.

New Law Permits Officials

B, tie Associated Press.

B! the Associated Press.
Acting under authority Of a
newly enacted law, Army and
Navy officials sought today to re-
move any possibility of financial
distress among families of Amer
lean soldiers, sailors and marines
captured by the enemy or re-
ported missing.
The law, empowering the Secre-
taries of War and Navy to order de-
pendency allotments from salaries
Of men captured or missing, was
signed by President Roosevelt this
week, and officials said many cases
Of real or potential hardship were
expected to be corrected quickly.
Salary allotments constitute the
basic arrangement by which men in
the armed service may provide for
their families while they are away on
duty. An officer or enlisted man
stationed at Honolulu, for instance,
would in these times leave his FAM
lily in this country. Out of his pay

possibly S45 for their support. This
allotment would be sent to them
directly by the Government and the
mans own monthly check would be
for only $35.
While man has control of his
own affairs, the making of regu-
lar allotment is entirely up to him.
Once he falls into the hands of the
enemy. however, or is interned in a
neutral country, or shipWrecked. or
stranded on some remote island. the
new law takes control of his salary.
If man is missing, his pay con-
tinues for six months. Unless his
whereabouts or his death has been
definitely established at the end of
that time, it goes on another six
months before the 12-month legal
limit is reached and a final settle
ment is made on the assumption Of
the mans death.
