APRIL 211, 1PM New Japan Faces Tough Economic Weed Growths Br ROBERT F.UNSON TOKYO W Japan cams out of th forest of the occupation Into . the pastures of political lndepend . ence Monday but found the fields . choked with economic weeds. It want the United States to help clear the ground bo Japan can nourish a population of 83 million. The task Is herculean. It Is one of rearranging dollars and yen, raw materials and manufactured goods, machines and markets. It Is mag . nlded by the loss of Japan's once great market in China, . It encompasses such tough mat ters as trade with Red China and ' a United States restless from the 'competition of cheaper Japanese products, and peaceful develop .nL of th. vast Southeast Asia sphere which Japan once tried to conquer oy lorco. Japanese financial and Industrial leaders while not necessarily ask ing direct help from the U.S. look to the former conqueror for most or the neip m suivmg iura problems. v MARKETS . . .inn wants the U.S. to broaden " Its help to under-developed coun- i tries in Bouineasi Asia, urcn can buy fanufactured goods from Japan and Japan can buy raw ma terials from them. Economic leaders here regard this as necessary because of the loss of Japan's huge markets on the China mainland and a growing resistance In the VS. asalnst Im portation of Japanese products. Of a doren Japanese leaders sur veyed by The Associated Press, not one suggested that the U.S. lend money to Japan. They suggested that the U.S. ex tend dollar credits to Japan In such a, way that Japan can maintain trade with Southeast Asia and still purchase raw materials from the United States, which China once supplied. . . Japan Is strangely burdened with Fire Damages Supermarket A Sunday morning fire caused extensive damage to the newly remodeled Safeway store on 8tb between Pine and High. The blase apparently broke out In boxes stacked near an Incinera tor In a storage room at the back of the building, according to Fire Chief Roy Rowe. City firemen got the alarm at 6:42 a.m. and the building was emoke-filled when they arrived. The fire damaged, .or destroyed - quantity of case goods, milk ' cases, service baskets and other items stored tn the room, and ate up rafters to spread out over the main store between the ceiling and roof. The Interior of the main part of the building suffered smoke dam age to stock and fixtures. The store had been open for business only two days after being closed about three weeks while an extensive remodeling job was going on. The store had been outfitted with new and modern fixtures to make it one of the largest and mosc a to-active in town. Another weekend blaze which stirred some alarm was neither damaging or dangerous. It was at me oia Big Lakes Sox Company site on 8. 6th at the viaduct, where lumber scraps and debris was being burned. The fire burned most of Saturday night, casting a baleful-looking glow into the sky. and smoked all through Sunday. That location was the scene of a spectacular fire last September when buildings of the Ewauna Box end Big Lakes Box burned a sterling balance of 85 million pounds. That makes it unsound (or Japanese ousinessmen 10 sen imu the pound sterling area oi oouui east AkIs currently. But if the United States can do something about developing raw material In Southeast Asia, Japan has the money to start sprmuus there. HEALTH Japanese business leaders say that once the ball starts rolling it could create a Southeast Asia sphere, greater because it would be healthier than anything ever envisioned by the late Japanese militarists. Hlsato Ichlmada. governor of the Bank of Japan and the most in fluential linancier in me nation. nnt it this wav: it is hlohlv desirable that Ja nan should develoo the rich natural resources Ivlnc untouched In South east Asia so mat sne may secure. at relatively moderate cost, tne e sential raw material which she "If these can be obtained through development of this area, Japan will be in a nosition to supply larger amounts of the cnenucai and heavy industry products that are so urgently required by the na tions ot tne iree worm gruuinru around the United Slates. r. rtf th mnior worries of Jap anese businessmen is the loss of the U. S. market. They face in .reajavt tariffs on fish, cameras. toys and other favorite Japanese StJ!?. innnnt reeard as being an understanding attitude," said nnsuke SukI. president of tne Osaka Chamber ol commerce. Japans textile uiau"j, war mainstay, also is hard nit. t .k. ..H battle to feed it self, Japan faces trouble from Rus sia, Its ouriy ncis;r - - More man i jnpnucot - o boats and nearly owi i rantured bv the Rus sians or Chinese Communists and are still held. This doesn't put much of a dent in the fishing Industry of 955.44S ii.K.rm.n and 208.108 boats, but threat of capture discourages fish ing too lar Jrom nome. "We cannot engage in our work and remain free from anxiety." said Michitomo Tanaka. director of the Japan Trawler fisnery asso ciation. "We would like to have American warships patrol the seas." DUTIES He also would like to see U.S. duties lowered so more fish could be sold in America. He pointed out China once was a major market for the fishing industry and now is lost unless a way is lound for Japan to do business with the commu nists. Finally, Communism in Japan appears to be no great prooem. Gen. MacArthur took care of that a long time ago. His animosity to communism leit its impression everywhere. Anyway, comunism is bound to find the going rocky in a land wnicn loves its Emperor. J'" $ i diVl rl .fir -1 am; . jUiin--a WATERY RESEARCH.
