Trading With Chinese Reds Poses Dilemma for Japanese
By ROBERT CRABBE
United Press International
TOKYO (UPI) There are
two Chinese governments in the
world and nobody knows it bet
ter than Japan. She does busi
ness with both of them.
Japan is standing at an im
portant crossroads in her rela
tionship with Taipei and Pe
king. The Communist Chinese gov
ernment, which has dominated
the Chinese mainland for 13
years, wants to buy equipment
for textile factories from Japan
and pay for them on easy terms
over a period of five years.
The Nationalist Chinese gov
ernment, based on Formosa and
dedicated to free enterprise, has
registered a formal protest and
appealed to Japan to back out
of the deal. -It wants nothing
done to strengthen Red China's
economy.
Japanese Prime Minister Ha
yato Ikeda and his chief cabi
net ministers thus must make
a decision that is bound to an
ger somebody.
If they approve the sale of
synthetic fibre plants to Red
China on credit terms, the Jap
anese will incur the ire of Na
tionalist China, and its chief
backer, the United States.
If they reject the deal, they
may endanger Japan's rcpidly
reviving trade with the Commu
nist Chinese mainland
Trade With Taipei
Officially, Japan recognizes
President Chiang Kai shek's
regime in Formosa as the of
ficial government of China.
From a business point of view,
Japan's trade with Nationalist
China is only a small fraction
of her economic activity, but
it is a profitable one. In her
trade with Formosa, Japan has
consistently made monev.
According to official figures
supplied by the Nationalist Chi
nese embassy in Tokyo, Japan
sold goods valued at W2.850.ol0
to Nationalist China in 1062. She
purchased goods valued at only
$52.1 million from Formosa. The
balance thus was more than $'t'i
million in Japan's favor.
From the big Japanese ports
on the Pacific Ocean, a steady
stream of machine tools and
factory equipment flows south
to Formosa. In return the Japa
nese buy large quantities of su
gar, bananas and other food
stuffs and raw materials.
In its effort to industrialize,
t n e Lhiang Kai shek regime
has turned largely to Japan, a
low-price seller of vital
trial items.
The Japanese have hld a As with Nationalist China,
large shire of tht FcrmoMn I JaPan Red china caPil,al
market despite the lif t that
America siles Ihtrt have in
creased in recent yers as a re
sult of the extensive American
aid program to the Chinese
Nationalists. American imports
occupied about 19.8 per cent of
the Formosa market last year,
compared with Japan's 44 per
cent.
Trade With Reds
Japan's trade relations with
Communist China present a
more checkered picture. Rather
than being profitable to Japan,
the Japanese trade with the
Red mainland is more of a bar
ter arrangement, designed to
indus-1 enable both sides to come out
even.
Bank Computer
Center Moved
Under Ground
By ROBERT L. F1ENBERG
GLOCESTER, R. I. (UPI)
One of the first non-government
underground computer centers
in the United States was opened
here recently.
The $500,000 structure, lo
cated beneath an apple orchard,
houses the accounting opera
tions of the Industrial National
bank of Rhode Island,
The center is designed to re
sist atomic blast, hurricanes,
tornados and external explosions.
The bank, America's second
oldest and one of New England's
largest, decided on the project
when Secretary of the Treas
ury Douglas Dillon urged pro
tection' of bartklttg- records' In'
event of atomic attack.
The site was selected after a
thorough study -of -possible un
clear targets in the state and
an analysis of the various yields
of the most Jikely nuclsar.woap-.
on to be used.
Target Site
Statisticians concJudeiJ .t.h.a. t,
Providence would be the target
site and that a five megaton
thermonuclear device probably
would be used,' delivered by bal
listic missile and detonated at
optimum height.
The site tif 'the center- is 10
miles from the Providence area,
reducing the chance of a di
rect hit to ono in 1,000.
After the location was chosen,
It was decided to harden the
building to withstand envelop
ment by a 20 pound per square ,
men overpressure resulting from
a nearby explosion. . 1
The center was built with re
inforced concrete roof slab from
22 to 40 inches thick and buried
under two feet of earth. The ,
entire building is encased in a .
waterproof neopreme covering
to ensure against seepage.
The center has a double set
of blast doors protecting the en
trance and designed for almost
instant sealing from the out
side. No two doors will he -open
at the same time.
Sealed Structure
Every openipg (o the. outside.
Is protected by fast closing
blast valves. Whenever t h e
pressure in the air exceeds four
pounds per square inch, the
valves immediately close, seal
ing the structure from the out
side. The computer and its auxil
iary equipment take most of the
space. Additional space is de
voted to generators, air condi
tioners and other equipment.
Space will be rented to towns,
cities, banks and corporations
for storage of microfilm, com
puter lanes and other duplicat
ed records.
The remainder of the interior
space is devoted lo emergency
living quarters and conference
rooms. The center is supplied
with emergency rations and sup
plies lo last for 30 days.
A more definite problem ex
ists in Rhode Island aside from
nuclear attack. The state has
been plagued with severe flood
ing after hurricanes since the
mid-l00s.
The location of the bank's ac
counting equipment outside of
, the city in the computer center
means that hurricanes and oth
rr disasters should have no ef
fect on the facility's ability to
opgra?,e at all times.
Seven People Appear
In Circuit Court Here

Food Prices
Will Remain
Stable, Claim
CHICAGO-With many of this
year's crops harvested and an
abundant selection of foods in
sight, we can hopefully look for
ward to food prices at the su
permarket remaining generally
stable as they have for more
than a decade, Paul S. Willis,
president. Grocery Manufactur
ers of America, incorporated,
said here today.
The government s standard
market basket of foods can now
be purchased at the grocery
store at about the same prices
which prevailed a decade ago,
while items other than food in
the cost-of-living index have in
creased an average of more
than 18 per cent during the
same period," Mr. Willis stated.
"So actually food has been a
major factor in holding down
the over-all cost of living in
dex," he added.
Slight Decline
The government's latest con
sumer price index for August,
showed a slight decline in food
prices over the previous month,
Mr. Willis noted.
"About a year ago, adverse
weather conditions affected
some of the fresh fruit and vege
table crops. The resulting short
ages which occurred temporari
ly increased prices for these
items, and this raised the food
price index earlier this year.
Now prices are gradually de
clining again," Mr. Willis added.
"Compared with a decade
ago, food gives the consumer
more value for the dollar than
virtually any other item in the
consumer price index. Also, con
sumers on the average are able
to buy their food requirements
for only 19 cents of their after
tax income dollar compared
with 23 cents a decade ago. This
is the lowest percentage in all
history, and lower than any
where else in the world," he
pointed out.
She sends the Chinese Commu
nists special steels, farm imple
ments and chemical fertilizers.
In return, the Peking regime
sells Japan corn, soy beans and
coal. Japan could buy these
things in the non - Communist
world, but China's near n e s s
helps cut the shipping costs
sharply.
Japanese trade with Red chi
na is deeply colored by politics.
In 1959, the Peking regime,
which had been making fairly
good economic progress at the
time, grew angry at Japanese
Prime Minister Nobusuke Ki
shi's open sympathy with t h e
Nationalists on Formosa.
November, a mission of "pri-l synthetic fibie factories, wnh
vate Japanese business men" five years to pay.
Seizing on an incident in
which Japanese nation a 1 i s t s
tore down a Red Chinese flag
at a trade fair, the Chinese vir
tually severed trade relations
with Japan. Japanese sales to
Red China dropped from about ! vor
$30 million in 1959 to around
$2 million in I960.
But the split with the Soviet
Union caused China to swallow
its pride and reach out for more
trade with the Japanese.
Japanese shipments to Red
China were back up to $16 mil
lion in 1960 and reached $36 mil
lion last year with Red Chi
na shipping about $42 million
worth of goods to Japan. In
went to Peking and worked out! Officially at least, the Inited
a new agreement designed to! States takes the position that
enlarge the flow of goods.
Faces Decision
This year, Japan expects its
"two-way trade" with Red Chi
na to reach $150 million, with
a slight balance in China's fa
in volume, this will be
close to Japan's Formosa trade.
Through most of last year,
the Japanese balked at grant
ing China time payments. In
December, Peking broke this
down somewnat by winning de
ferred payments on a large
shipment of fertilizer. There
were further concessions during
the spring on a small steel and
farm implements shipment.
Now Peking wants to buy two

Lightning Bolts
Costly To Buildings
of 732 institutional buildings
churches, schools, hospitals and
government structures were
hit by major destructive light
ning bolts in 1962, says the
Lightning Protection institute.
Church steeples apparently
attracted many of the strikes
and church building losses were
very high, says the institute. A
total of 351 churches were hit,
with total loss of $6,584,058, or
an average loss per church of
$18,758.
Veal Round Steak Hit
Here's a change to achieve a
meat dish worth a gourmet's
blue ribbon. It's done with veal
round steak and a package of
dried onion soup. Dredge veal
round steaks in seasoned flour
and brown. Dilute onion soup
with water and simmer veal
round steaks in onion soup mix

hours or until lender.
