CANNOT GO HOME
AMERICANS IN JAPAN
BAN ON RELIEF SHIP
"HELD AS HOSTAGES"
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.)
WASHINGTON, August 17. The State Department announces that Japan has refused permission for the American liner President Coolidge to visit Japanese ports and embark 100 American civilians who desire repatriation. Many of them have already sold up their belongings and left their employment and are thus virtually stranded.
The United Press describes the Japanese action as keeping the Americans as virtual hostages.
The Shanghai correspondent of the United Press says the Japanese authorities have advised all foreigners in Manchukuo to leave before Monday so that the railways may be devoted to troop, military, and supply movements.
