Rudolf Zindel, the Red Cross Delegate, makes his second visit to Stanley, this time in the company of Takeo Oda of the Japanese Foreign Affairs Department.

Zindel will not report on this and his first visit until December, when he will sum up affairs as 'definitely "satisfactory," although there was still room for further improvement in several respects'.
