The New China Nows Agency reported today that the Chinese Red Cross Society had agreed to allow Japanese nationals wishing to return to their country to take their belongings with them.

The agreement was reached at talks between a Japanese delegation headed by Tadalaugu

Shimazu and a Chinese delega- ton headed by Liao Cheng Chih. Other members of the Japanese delegation included Gitaro Hirano, Tomi Kora, Kanzo Uchiyama, Tadao Kudo, Masaharu Hatanaka and Toshio Kashima.
