FOR THE SUPREME COMMANDER:
/s/ H. W. Allen
for /t/ B. M. FITCH,
Brigadier General, AGD,
Adjutant General
MEMO FOR RECORD: (SCAPIN - 723)
1. The Imperial Household agreed to a reduction in the grant to Mr. Ishiwata. This reduction was suggested since it was felt that too large a grant would be contrary to the spirit of AG 091.1 dated 4 Jan 1946 subject: “Removal and Exclusion of Undesirable Personnel from Public Office”
2. The retirement allowances totalling ¥112,300 are the result of a reduction in the number of employees of the Imperial Household.
3. Imperial grants to private welfare associations are customarily made on February 1st of each year. About 750 associations receive these grants, the average grant amounting to less than ¥500. Such grants apparently represent Imperial approval of these associations rather than monetary support. The Public Health and Welfare Section concurs in this approval.
