MEMO FOR RECORD: (SCAPIN - 2057)
WFM/RMG/CHS/jm
8 November 1949
1. Reference the following SCAP Memos:
a. AG 004 (8 Jun 43) ESS/AC, SCAPIN 1008, subject: Limitation of Activities of and Requiring of Reports from Certain Concerns.
b. AG 004 (23 Jun 46) ESS/AC, SCAPIN 1035, subject: Limitation of Activities of and Requiring of Reports from Kawaminami Industrial Company, Ltd., and Its Subsidiaries.
c. AG 004 (23 Jul 46) ESS/AC, SCAPIN 1078, subject: Limitation of Activities of and Requiring of Reports from Riken Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (Rikagaku Kenkyu-sho).
d. AG 004 (10 Dec 46) ESS/AG, SCAPIN 1388, subject: Limitation of Activities of and Requiring of Reports from Ishikawajima Heavy Industries Company, Ltd. (Ishikawajima Jukogyo K.K.) and its Subsidiaries.
2. The companies listed in the above memo were limited as to their activities and required to make certain reports, reference paragraphs 1a, b, c, and d, above, because they were second line subsidiaries of designated holding companies.
3. In compliance with Law No. 233 of 1946 the parent company, in all cases, transferred the stock it held in its subsidiaries to the HCLC. This prevented the holding company from dissipating the assets of its subsidiaries through management of the company. Since the HCLC has now disposed of these shares either to employees of the issuing company or to individuals having no connection with the parent company, none of the companies own any stock in other companies, United Nations Nationals interests are not involved, and the companies are neither designated (Law No. 207) nor special accounting companies, there is no longer reason to limit their activities nor to require that they submit reports.
4. This is an administrative matter and no surveillance by the Eighth Army is required.
5. Concurrences: None required.
