U S Sixth and army troops seized sil ver bullion, 18 000 ounces of platinum, and 27 000 000 yen in coins from Imperial headquarters and warehouses. Value tallies show 1 800 000 dollars in silver.

Officials say valuation was hampered by incomplete records and assets may have funded trade with Germany during the war.
