Mr. Corwin Edwards, Chairman of the State-War Department Commission investigating the Zaibatsu organizations, requests that the Imperial Japanese Government be directed to furnish for each company on the restricted list, an estimate of the aggregate of war damage and indemnity claims filed and to be filed.

Primary functions of the Edwards Mission are: examination of the various combines, suggestions for expedience in their dissolutions, analysis of facts and figures connected with the combines, and recommendations for meeting problems that might arise in the dissolution plans. The extent of war damage and indemnity claims of Japanese companies will substantially affect the conclusions of the Commission, and it is therefore necessary that the information requested be promptly furnished.
