This document also contains an official report on the Tottori City (Japan) earthquake, an allegation that the Allies used lachrymatory (tear) gas in the battle for Finschhafen, comments on manpower resources in the United States and England, and postal regulations concerning taking and sending purchased goods to Japan from operational areas. |
