Hanoi, June 4.
Japanese authorities have removed and shipped thus far a total of 8,500 tons of American-owned goods from godowns of American firms at Halphong, it was learned yesterday.
The goods were seized by the Japanese a week ago after the American firms had refused to hand over keys to the godowns. The goods, originally consigned to China, had been in storage since Japanese entry into Indo-China last year. The Japanese contended the goods were Chinese-owned.
'A group of 1,000 Japanese troops originally stationed at Haiphong have left, for an unknown destination, it was learned yesterday. The group departed shortly before the return of Major-General Raishiro Sumita, head of the Japanese mission, to Hanoi from Tokyo—United Press.
