Closing of Schools Here Necessitates Move Approximately 100 teachers o! Japanese schools in Shanghai will return to Japan until the beginning of the new year as a result of a decision reached by the assembly of councillors of the Shanghai Japanese Residents Corporation on Friday afternoon, the "Shanghai United News" reported yesterday morning.
A $500,000 loan, the paper said, has been made by the Corporation through the good offices of local Japanese bankers in order to carry the plans for the evacuation through. The journal added that papers regarding the flotation of the loan will be signed by Mr, Masusaburo Amano, president of the Residents' Corporation.
Specific instructions as to what the teachers should do were given by Mr. Suemasa Okamoto, Consul-General, and Mr. Amano at the Japanese Club on Boone Road at three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The temporary withdrawal of the teachers, the paper said, was brought about by the recent decision to keep Shanghai Japanese schools closed till next year.
