America marines were stationed at the corner of Hart and Bubbling Well Roads for the first time yesterday afternoon. being accompanied by a Japanese constable of the S.M.P. to act as interpreter. It is understood that they will be stationed there indefinitely, in order to keep a watchful eye upon the western boundary of the American defence sector. The Japanese Naval Landing Party headquarters requested permission yesterday from the U.S. Marine authorities to move a number of Japanese bluejackets through the American defence sector, but this permission was refused. The Naval Landing Party headquarters were informed that no bluejackets could be allowed through the sector, and they agreed to comply with this request. Japanese troops are allowed through the sector provided that they do not carry arms.
