J APS REPORT

(Continued from page 1) protecting power. Detailed Account

In its detailed account of condi- tions at various prison camps, in- eluding an example of food distri- bution at a camp identified as Camp Zentzugi, the Japanese report des- cribed transport difficulties as "acute" and contended that 1t nad been "virtually impossible to bring supplies to Hong Kong 1n large quantities." _

There had been no complaints about clothing, said the descrip- tion frcm Japanese sources. al- though officers were required to pay

the clothing they received. other ranks were supplied without charge.

The External Affairs Depart- ment quoted the Japanese report as saying that "considerable diffi- culty" was at first experienced in supplying prisoners with adequate food because of the gird-Son's 11'1- tensive “scorched earth" policy-

"For a time it was possible supplyonly two nations," the depart- ment said. “By the end of March. however, individual daily rations had been increased so that each man was receiving 1,139 grams (40

Cludlng fish and additional mis- cellaneous food.

Several hundred vessels floated around in the night like oil blobs on the dark water.

Troops Silent, Expectant

In the assault craft the troops weze silent and expectant, crouched on long narrow benches like sprint- ers at a starting line, Searchlights from the shore defences fingered the sea, seeking us out.

Suddenly I saw a heavily-gun- ried beach-protecting craft dart 1n front of us. It opened up, firing smoke shells in our path, In a few minutes we were blanketed by acrid, billowing waves of smoke. completely concealed from the en- emy, represented by a British force
