REPATRIATION OF PRISONERS OF WAR AND INTERNEES

1. We are prepared to return prisoners of war and internees immediately. Please notify us as soon as possible as to where and when the Allied nations will have the necessary ships for their disposal. To effect the foregoing, we have formed a committee comprised of members of the Prisoner-of-War Information Bureau, Army and Navy Ministries, the Foreign Office, etc, whose function it will be to make preparations to return Allied prisoners. HAKODATE, NIIGATA, AOMORI, FUSHIKI, TSURUGA, SENDAI, YOKOHAMA, NAGOYA, KOBE, SHIMONOSEKI, NAGASAKI, HAKATA, FUSAN, DAIREN, and KEELUNG have been selected as embarkation points. Preparations for the return of Allied prisoners are progressing in an orderly manner.

2. Allied prisoners and internees held in areas outside of JAPAN proper will be released where they are held at present. Therefore, it is desired that negotiations be carried out with the Japanese units in the localities concerned.

3. We accept the assistance offered to us by the Swiss Legation and the International Red Cross representative in JAPAN for the return of Allied prisoners.

4. It is our intention to effect this undertaking smoothly, through the organization of a Committee for the Return of Allied Prisoners of War consisting of the committee mentioned in paragraph 1, the representatives mentioned in the preceding paragraph, and representatives of the countries to which prisoners of war are to be returned.

5. It is requested that all Japanese prisoners of war and a portion of the internees held by the Allied nations be repatriated as soon as possible.

6. Examples of articles regarding repatriation to be included in the agreement on cessation of hostilities:

"Article--, Allied prisoners of war and internees held by the Japanese military and civilian agencies shall be immediately repatriated to their respective countries or released from their present locations, as may be indicated separately."

"Article--, Japanese prisoners of war and internees held by the Allied Armies and Allied government agencies will, as soon as possible after the restoration of peace, be repatriated to JAPAN or released at the present location."
