Summary of Discussion 



Dr. Plesch, who presented the Japanese papers on behalf of SCi\.P, 

 spoke to the meeting about the efficient organization developed for 

 contact with Japanese scientific circles, and liaison with British and 

 American workers. There was, he stated, a very complete tracer 

 service in existence for individual workers and their publications. Semi- 

 annual reports were issued on scientific projects, inquiries on detailed 

 points being referred to the Japanese Ministry of Education. Direct 

 communication with Japanese through the international mails was now 

 possible. Japanese can send publications abroad, or written manu- 

 scripts, but, strangely, there is still a restriction on typed manuscripts. 

 The Japanese workers are showing an extreme \villingness to exchange 

 papers, in English or with English resumes: There is an extensive 

 abstracting service by the Economics and Scientific Section of SCAP. 

 principally through the normal abstracting journals, and scientific 

 institutions in Japan are rapidly resuming outside relations. 



The relevant address was given as Economics and Scientific Section, 

 Supreme Command Allied Powers, A.P.O. (U.S. Army) 500, c/o 

 Postmaster, San Francisco.
