RECOVERY OF JAPAN
“Target Country” Of Peking
(Rec. 10 p.m.) MELBOURNE, Dec. 1.
Japan’s economic recovery in the last few years made it the first “target, country” of Peking and Moscow, Mr Shigeru Yoshida, the former Prime Minister of Japan, said in Melbourne today. “All I can say is that I am most unhappy about this. But I’m afraid it must be so,” he said, at a press conference. Mr Yoshida is making a short visit to Melbourne from Canberra where he is staying during this private visit to Australia. “Unfortunately, Communism is getting stronger to Japan,” he said. Mr Yoshida said he would like Australia to sell more wool to Japan. “But this is a private goodwill mission I am on. I am here not to sell Japan—l’m not a salesman. But I would like to see a better balance of trade between our two countries. And we would like to establish more intimate relations between Japan and Ausi tralia.”
