Mr. Weller pont well disciplined; no cases of Dutch women being molested have occurred in Java. Looting is not by force but by pumping out of the printing press Jap “guilders,” which preserves the illusion of gold-backed currency and enables the Jap soldiers .to buy anything regardles§ of price. “The object is to leave native or Dutch owners with their hands full of paper and the Japs with their hands full of manufactured goods. A rise in, prices. make no difference because the Jap printing presses simply run fasfer and print more money. or .

Decree Shops, Stay Open

Like the Germans, the Japs have had difficulty keeping the shops open because the natives prefer to shut the doors, take what articles remain and flee to the hills making caches there rather than to be continually cheated by this non-violent looting. The Japs have decreed that all shops must remain open and that no articles be concealed. The shopkeepers, getting poorer with every Jap purchase, tried to cut down hours of business. Jap army commanders retaliated with an order all to remain. open until 10 o'clock at night—four hours beyond the usual closing time. The Dutch officer described how yawning proprietors, barely able to stay awake behind their counters, are - obliged to keep themselves available for Jap purchasers during all but their actual hours in bed.
