Japan leader sees slump coming
By United Press International
TOKYO — Japan unveiled measures yesterday to open its lucrative markets to foreign goods and Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone warned of "a terrible depression," unless the nation reduced its huge trade surplus with the United States.
Although the market-opening measures had been highly touted by the Japanese media, one U.S. news report identified, dismissed it as a "big yawn." He said it was a step backward in making Japan's key telecommunications market more accesible to American firms.
However, the White House praised Nakasone for political courage yesterday, but said concrete progress in this area would require pressures and ease trade tensions.
A Japanese official conceded the market-opening package, the seventh announced by Japan in four years, was "not really a new trade announcement" and primarily of conventions made in recent trade talks with the United States.
BECAUSE JAPAN'S trade surplus with the United States stands at $37 billion and trade frictions are wor-
ening between the allies, both chambers of Congress have passed a non-binding resolution urging President Reagan to restrict Japanese imports unless Japan provides further access to American goods.
The Senate Finance Committee also last week approved a bill requiring the administration to curb Japanese imports — by using tariffs, or other means — unless Japan restricts restrictive trade practices.
"This is a life and death affair (that could lead to) a terrible depression," warned Nakasone in a nationally televised address.
