JAP EXPORTS WILL
NCLUDE PEARLS,
SILKS, FURS, TEA
Tokyo, Feb. 25 (U.R) Gen.
Douglas MacArthur announced
today a 1946 export program for
Japan cutting her exports to one-
fourth of the 1935-39 average,
and disclosed that 80,00,0 bales
of raw silk and quantities" of
finished fabrics are slated for
shipment abroad before June 30.
All proceeds of export sales
will be applied to financing a
limited program of imports
necessary to maintain a mini
mum internal economy.
The program drawn up by
the supreme Allied commander
was based first on the amount
of exportable goods on hand,
secondly on industrial capaci
ties limitations imposed on
Japan by the Potsdam confer
ence. Items of Interest to United
States importers were 80,000
bales of raw silk, 75.000,000
yards of finished silk, rayon and
mixed fabrics, 1,500 tons of tea,
nearly 1,000,000 grams of cul
tured pearls, 200,000 squirrel
and 2,800 silver fox pelts and
small stocks of scarce metals
and minerals.
Most of the other items were
suitable only for export to near
by markets, such as China.
Korea, Formosa, Manchuria and
southeast Asia.
So far as possible, -the goods
will be exported on a reciprocal
trade basis, depending upon
Japanese requirements from the
areas to which shipments are
made. Little, if any, currency
exchange will be involved.
