 Meantime, Col. William H. Adams, fiscal director for MacArthur, re- vealed that Japan was furnishing funds to pay the cost of the Amer ican occupation of the Japanese homeland at the rate of $2,095, ,23S daily.
 Japan already has advanced on requisition from the occupation army $73,333, 900 in yen and has set aside in vaults of the Bank of Japan for further American use another $200, ,000,0 900. The Japanese promsied that still further sums would be advanced as needed.
 Under international law ,an in- vaded coluntry must pay the costs of occupying forces other than the actual army payroll" Adams said.
 However In addition we have been requisitioning the Japanese government for our army payroll as well. Presumably the amount used to pay our troops will be credited on Washington's books against the reparations bill eventually to be presented Japan
 Conference?
 Shidehara went to MacArthur's headquarters in the huge Dai Ichi Insurance company building at 5 p. m. to pay the five-star general a formal courtesy call upon the for nation Of the new Japanese cab- inet.
 But If he went expecting only a social meeting, he got more than he bargained for. They were closeted for an hour, and MacArthur read to him q statement of what the su- preme command expected of his gov. ernment. A copy of the statement was released to the press.
 'The people," said MacArthur must be freed from all forms oi governmental secret inquisition. into their daily lives, which holds theii minds in virtual slavery and from ell forms of control which seek to suppress freedom of thought, free- dom of speech and freedom of re- ligion.

 Tn implementation of these re- quirements and to accomplish the purposes thereby intended, expect you to institute the following re. forms in the social order of Japan as rapidly aS they can be assimilated.
 "1.-Emancipation of the women of Japan-that through being mem- bers of the body polite they may bring to Japan Q new concept of government directly subservient to the well-being of the home.
 "2.-Encouragement of the union- ization of labor-that 1t may be clothed with such dignity as will permit 1t an influential voice in safeguarding the working man from exploitation and raising his living standard to a higher level: with the institution of such measures as may be necessary to correct the evils which now exist In child labor prac- tices.
 "3.-Opening the schools to a more liberal education-that the people may shape their future progress from factual knowledge and benefit from an understanding of e system under which the government be- comes servant rather than master of the people.
 4.-Abolltion of the systems which, through secret inquisition and abuse have held the peop'e in constant fear-substituting therefore Q system of justice designed to af- ford the people protection against despotic, arbitrary and unjust meth odS.
 "6.-DemocratiEatIon of the Jap- aneSe economic institution to the end that monopolistic industrial con. trols be revised through development of methods which tend to insure 6 wide distribution of income and ownership of the means of produce ton and trade"
