PRISONERS IN JAPAN
AMENDED FORM OF ADDRESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Postmaster-General (Mr Webb) announced today that advice had been received from the High Commissioner (Mr W. J. Jordan) that where the address of prisoners of war and interned civilians in Japanese hands is not known, the final portion of the address should be: “Care of Japanese Red Cross, Tokio,” and not “Care of Prisoners of Wai’ Information Bureau, Tokio.”
Mr Webb also stated that he was pleased to report that recently some mail from prisoners of war in Germany and Italy had come to hand quicker than usual. It had arrived in about three months, compared with seven to eight months in the case of previous transmissions.
