ADDRESS _ZIP MONEY BACK GUARANTEE FOR UNUSED PORTION" Perspective UNDERSTANDING THE JAPANESE RONALD REAG W TOKYO - Around here they call him "Hurricane" Strauss. That's Robert Strauss, our special trade representative, who thought he was wowing the Japanese when he wrung trade concessions out of them earlier this year. But, one leader here complained that Strauss kept "hitting, hitting, hitting," and another said they had been "bludgeoned" by Strauss' approach to trade problems. What Strauss and the ad­ ministration consider as a great success - promises from the Japanese to set a 7 percent GNP growth target this year; sharp reduction of its U.S. trade surplus; and liberalization on handling imports - could turn out to be a very short-range one. Though the Japanese, when shoved by us on trade matters, tend to give in, blunt treatment -- despite their great politeness - is resented by them and is not forgotten. They prize stability, predictability and reliability and these items have been in short supply in Washington lately. Thick Steaks Japanese officials discuss this privately over thick steaks of what they sarcastically call "Strauss beef." (In the recent agreement with Japan, he managed to get them to agree to import 10,000 extra tons of high quality "hotel" beef. Tokyo restaurants are over­ flowing with it.) The differing views of Strauss' January agreement with Japan point up the culture clash inherent in the U.S.­ Japan alliance, and raise the question of whether we really can compete with the Japanese. Though all parties agree that false barriers to trade should be removed, the lifting of quotas on high tariffs, alone, does not insure an influx of imports from the U.S. In my meetings here with business and government leaders one thing stressed time and again was the need for U.S. companies to make a long- range commitment in order to crack Japanese markets. And, it's a rich market, with Asia's highest per capita income and high standard of living. As the Japanese see it, U.S. com­ panies must send in people who will learn the langauge, culture and customs and set up service as well as sales facilities. They must also learn how Japan's complex product distribution system works. Under those c o n d i t i o n s , J a p a n e s e businessmen seem to agree that competition could and would flourish. Half-hearted attempts, however, won't even dent the problem of our balance of trade deficit with Japan. For example, Japanese auto makers have long adapted their cars to U.S. tastes and market conditions. This includes putting the steering wheel on the left side as we do. Yet, American cars sold in Japan are not changed to facilitate driving on the left side of the road. Steering wheels are not moved. Disadvantage The Japanese tradition of "lifetime employment" by the same company, coupled with a strong sense of pride-in- workmanship, also tends to put us at a competitive disad­ vantage, whereas the new man- in-Tokyo for a U.S. company may have 6 two-year hitch and need to make his mark with short-term sales increases (and probably little attention to service and to development of long-term relationships in a foreign country). The Japanese approach is a "team" one. It is not uncommon, for example, for an auto assembly line worker in Japan to stop the whole line in order to refit a moulding strip. That is going to be tough to beat, though it seems to be time for American business to dust off the old Yankee Trader reputation and get to work on improved export marketing. That, and a better un­ derstanding of the Japanese by our own government, and we may be able to strengthen our alliance after all. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS I McHenry Man Serves 25 Years With N.I.

"How McHenry hospital is controlling costs while con­ tinuing to provide high quality patient care is of great interest to the citizens whom we serve. Therefore, we are using this opportunity-National Hospital week-to report to the public how our cost-containment program has worked during the past year," announced Anthony Corcoran, executive director of McHenry hospital, in presenting the theme for National Hospital week, May 7- 13. Hospital costs comprise about 40 cents of each $1 spent on health care, Corcoran said. Of this 40 cents, by far the greatest portion is utilized on services. "Hospital care is a labor- intensive field, making use of highly skilled personnel and employing this personnel on a 24-hour daily basis all year round," Corcoran commented. "Therefore, when a depart­ ment such as our Central Supply service arranges to cut back to only one shift, mean­ while managing to provide the hospital with sterile supplies for all shifts, we must congratulate them on an ef­ fective determination to cut costs." The most dramatic savings in employment costs have come from the low rate of turnover, especially among nursing personnel, Corcoran said. "The national rate of annual turnover among registered nurses is over 60 percent.' Among Registered Nurses at McHenry hospital, the turnover rate during the past year has been only 17 percent. "The savings in ad­ ministrative costs and in orientation are obvious. It is also evident that by creating an environment where Registered Nurses can achieve a high level of job satisfaction, the hospital has served the cause of good zzm r*:* Low pressure sodium lights were recently installed in McHenry hospital's parking lots by engineering mechanic Harold Palmer (above), in one of the hospital's responses to the energy crisis. It is estimated that the lights expend only one-fifth the wattage of the previously-used incandescent lights, for the same amount of illumination. patient care, as well as cost- control." An added dividend of McHenry hospital's cost- containment program has come in the form of energy and fuel savings, Corcoran ob­ served. "Fortunately, we had already installed thermopane windows in our patient rooms last summer, before the record- breaking cold weather of the past winter. We were con­ cerned about the comfort of our patients, as well as the efficient use of fuel. We are happy to report that, in both regards, our decision to install the ther­ mopane has been a success." Another energy-saving measure introduced during the past year is the use of low- pressure sodium lights in the hospital's parking lots. Utility engineers point out that sodium lights last longer and use less electricity, shedding ap-. proximately five times as much light per watt as incandescent lights. "In this time of energy shortages, we have been im­ pressed with the substantially lower use of electricity in our parking lots," Corcoran said. Brothers Sing At Ozark Folk Festival On a recent visit to Sherwood Forest, Ark., Vince Adams of McHenry had the opportunity to renew his interest in singing with his brother, Clem Adams. For many years the two men were among the most popular singing teams in this area.
