Dropping the bars against the removal of Chinese-owned goods in the Hongkew and Yangtzepoo areas, the Japanese naval authorities last night made public regulations under which such movements of merchandise would be permitted. Hitherto only Japanese or foreign-owned goods were allowed to be transported to areas south of Soochow Creek.
While both Japanese and third-party nationals will be required to fle applications for the transfer of merchandise at the Japanese Consulate-General Chinese will have to present theirs to the Shanghai Citizens Association. These documents will be forwarded to the Special, Service Section of the Navy for approval.
Permits for the removal of goods will be issued by the Consulate-General in the case of Japanese and third-party nationals, and the Special Service Section of the Navy in the case of Chinese, under strict Nazi leadership.
