but blaming Japan for Americas woes could have unhappy Japans export practices have been blamed for the big US trade deficit The Japanese arc neo- mer cantilists the Americans charge they sell they wont buy This makes their trading practices unfair in the eyes of Congress Because of their remarkable suc cess In exporting the Japanese have a lot of money to Invest If world trade were a big Monopoly game the Japanese would have all money This means ihe S Govern ment has to go to Toyko hat in hand lo finance its get deficit Moderates In Japan have been urging people to help the wounded eagle by buying American goods Being portrayed as needy rankles the Americans Being shoved around by the Americans rankles the Japanese CAT AND MOUSE As Sadanorl former trade minister observed recently a cornered mouse may bite at cat Mr was ding to pressure from the Americans to lift import barriers on US farm products He was reflecting the mood of ihe people Not long ago Japanese farmers gathered under a portrait of President Ronald Reagan to hurl oranges and clgarets in to a fire Far more frightening was a recent survey of Junior high school students in Japan Asked which country Japan would most likely fight In a war ihey named the United States With luck and a little care the trade war that has been raging for years will end before political rela tions break down The United
