Memorandum
Subject: Information of General Application Pertaining to Directive Number (SCAPIN 1795), file AG 311 (8 Oct 47) CCS, this Headquarters dated 8 October 1947 subject: Routing of Messages via United States Circuits
1. With reference to subject memorandum, the following is published for the information of all concerned.
2. Paragraphs 1a, 1b and 1c of the reference memorandum list certain directives in which recommendations for equal division of traffic volume between the three American carriers have been emphasized.
3. It is the purpose of the subject memorandum to open the way for acceptance by the Ministry of Communications of requests from filers of messages from Japan to the United States for routing of their messages via a specific American carrier.
4. Traffic thus routed at the request of the sender should not be considered as a part of the specific American carrier's share of equally divided traffic load since such routing will usually result from specialized services available from the specific carrier in America, for which it should not be penalized.
5. Occupation Forces surveillance will not be required in this instance inasmuch as the subject memorandum is permissive rather than compulsory,
