PRISONERS OF WAR
JAPANESE BLOCK AID
Rec. 12.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Oct. 8. The Japanese Government has refused to agree to any regular shipments of relief goods for prisoners of war, it is reported by Australian Red Cross officials. Japan will not allow neutral or Allied ships carrying relief supplies to sail in Japanese-controlled waters. Messages through Japanese radio sta« tions constantly include requests for Red Cross parcels, and it is therefore believed that Allied prisoners in the Far East have not been informed of Japan's refusal to co-operate. The Japanese action is entirely contrary to the international prisoner of war code.
