PHILIPPINES MONEY
IMITATED BY JAPANESE
WASHINGTON, January 6. An army communique states: ■ "The commanding general of the United States army in the Far East (General Mac Arthur) reports that the occupying Japanese troops in Manila are circulating large quantities of paper money which is a clever imitation of the Philippines currency, substituting 'Japanese Government1 for 'Commonwealth Government.'
"The nature of the currency indicates that it was prepared a long time before the invasion, which offers further pi-oof of the long-range preparation of the Japanese attack against the Philippines."
