Shipping war continues as Dutch Japanese reach freight split
A Batavia accord settles a shipping dispute between the Java China Japan Line and South Seas Marine Transportation. The Japanese line will carry 64.25 percent of Japan to Dutch East Indies freight, with 35.75 percent for the Dutch, while from the Dutch East Indies the Japanese will carry 60 percent and the Dutch 40 percent.
