Jap Funds
ThrOttIed

TOKYO, Sept. "a QNS)--Gen.
Macarthur acted today TO estab-
lish free press in Japan and 10
strictly control Japanese finan-
cisl transactions preparatory TO
determining Japan's ability to pay
reparations.
The supreme commander put
the defeated country'S financial
operations in a virtual strait
jacket by prohibiting transactions
with foreign countries and de-
manding revision of japanese
laws to prohibit import or export
of gold. silver, currency and Sc
curities without approval of Allied
authorities.
Rigid control of Japan'S finances
will enable Macarthur to get a
detailed picture of the country'S
condition upon which reparation
estimates could be based.
He moved TO establish a free
press by ordering the japanese
government 10 remove itself from
direct or indirect control of news
agencies and newspapers. This
meant that Domei no longer
would monopolize newsgathering
distribution, being stripped of its
official status and all special priv
ileges.
