Jap Money and Taxes

BY the way, the treasury de-
partment made a kind of a funny
little decision the other day. in
connection with Jap money in the
United States.
When Nippon began to look
uglily toward Uncle Samuel, itn
be recalled that we impounded Jap
nationals funds in our country.
They couldn't get their dough out
Of American banks. where they
had it deposited.
Their business interests here
were absolutely frozen
Presently, though. tax paying
days rolled around taxes and fees
due TO federal. state and even more
local governments.
"Oh, WELL" ruled Treasury Sec,
rotary Henry Morgenthau. you
Japs can draw out funds enough
to pay of that sort Of obligation"
It was a ruling that hasn't teen
welcomed by the Japs very en-
Enthusiastically, however.
