Information of General application pertaining to Directive Number (SCAPIN 1136), file AG 387.6 (14 Aug 46) ESS/IN dtd 14 Aug 46, subject: "Reparations Selections within the Precision Bearing Industry. ”
1. With reference to memorandum Number (SCAPIN 1136), from the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers to the Imperial Japanese Government, the following is published for the information of all concerned.
2. The purpose in issuing the attached letter to the Imperial Japanese Government and accompanying letter to the Commanding General, Eighth United States Army, is to insure availability for interim reparations removal of listed facilities in the best possible condition.
3. The facilities within listed plants which may be considered suitable for reparations are all major units and auxiliary equipment except those units composed principally of masonry and which are not sufficiently enclosed in metal framework as to prevent loosening of the masonry during transportation to another site.
4. It is not contemplated that buildings which are part of factories taken under custody and control will be used for reparations or destroyed except in special cases. Such cases may be those where part of the building frame forms a track for overhead cranes and the steel building skeleton can be easily dismantled. If any building, other than those likely to be dismantled, is requested by the Japanese and it can be used by them without jeopardizing the primary mission of safeguarding reparations material it may be released to them.
5. The interim reparations program is designed to leave within Japan the capacity to manufacture 32. 5 million yen worth of bearings based on 1943 and 1944 prices. Plants listed on SCAPIN 1136 while considered excess of 32. 5 million yen capacity may be permitted to continue operations realizing that after 30 days they are subject to shut down and removal without advance notice.
6. It is contemplated that the Japanese will furnish personnel and material required by you; that they will use, for custodial personnel, individuals previously employed in each factory who are familiar with its layout and requirements for maintenance.
7. It is expected that the Japanese will perform proper maintenance of equipment to preserve it in good condition. Such maintenance is to include sufficient oiling and greasing with necessary materials to be furnished by the Japanese Government when not available at the plants.
8. It is expected that a system will be established for spot-checking each installation periodically. When corrective action can be accomplished locally by explanation it should be done. In cases of wilful violation or neglect immediate report should be made through military channels.
9. A letter of Command instructions pertaining to the execution of the subject memorandum follows command channels.
