Claims Supported by This Source

  1. Ishibashi Tanzan: The amount of Bank of Japan notes was over 30.2 billion yen on the day the war ended, over 55.4 billion yen at the end of last year, and over 61.4 billion yen on the day the Financial Emergency Measures Ordinance was promulgated.
  2. Ishibashi Tanzan: The investigation date for the Temporary Property Investigation Ordinance was set at 00:00 on March 3 of this year.
  3. Kawashima Kinji: The Minister of Finance, responding to the '500 yen livelihood problem' at the general budget meeting, stated that the current economic situation is like a frozen fish in a refrigerator. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the average income of workers in the six major cities is 504 yen and 82 sen, while living expenses amount to 844 yen and 8 sen.
  4. Ishibashi Tanzan: The method of freezing individual incomes of 500 yen or more is unnatural, and I want to move to an unrestricted state at the earliest opportunity. Since 100 yen can be withdrawn separately for each family member, a family of five can withdraw up to 1,000 yen for living expenses.
  5. Ishibashi Tanzan: If the Financial Emergency Measures Ordinance had not been issued and deposits had been withdrawn en masse, the banks would have collapsed, and the remaining depositors would have been at risk of suffering great damage. Protecting the banks means protecting the deposits.
