MEMO FOR RECORD: (SCAPIN - 2043/1)
WFM/FLW/WAS/GD/alk
30 November 1949
1. Memorandum for the Japanese Government, file AG 430 (13 Aug 49) ESS/PD, SCAPIN 2043, dated 9 September 1949, subject: Price and Distribution Controls over Potatoes, permitted the Japanese Government to eliminate controls over potatoes in 1950. It is now considered necessary to advance the decontrol to 1 December 1949.
2. This action amends the decontrol date of SCAPIN 2043 mentioned in paragraph 1 above and permits the Japanese Government to decontrol the 1949 crop of potatoes after completion of 100% of the quota. Permission to decontrol on 1 December 1949 will greatly minimize the amount of spoilage and reduce fiscal expenditures of the Japanese Government.
