Olson Says Japanese Search For Better Balance of Trade

He added that he noticed advertising for Japanese products did not carry the word, Japan.
A specialist on Japan says that if the Japanese could think of a "magical" substance to replace natural resources, much of Japan's economic difficulty would be solved.
Lawrence Olson, American Universities Field Staff representative, told the Current Events Forum Friday that one step in this direction would be replacing industrial fuel with nuclear power.
Mr. Olson said that American advertising is helping push Japanese products, especially in the field of transistor equipment. Many American firms are now joining or merging with Japanese firms instead of competing with them.
"The American advertisers are very,very careful to avoid the words,'Made in Japan,'because the words are still a stereotype for cheap merchandise," he explained.
Change Is Nation-wide
Mr. Olson said that Japan has undergone a great deal of change because of American occupation after World War II. Today the Crown Prince has become more of a popular symbol than the Emperor.
More Exports Needed
But atomic energy is too far in the future for a quick solution to Japan's present economy, he said.
"Japanese students are easily aroused at the threat of war or being conscripted into the army. The students are economically pinched and are susceptible, historically, to leftist arguments.

The leftists include Socialists and Communists.
"The students' attitudes often change when they start looking for a job. Business does not have too much sympathy with Communism."
Mr. Olson said that Japanese students should graduate from a Japanese university before coming to the

He explained that the recent emancipation of Japanese women has changed an entire culture of social relationships between the sexes. Women had always been considered an inferior sex. Japanese men are slow to accept the woman's new status in Japan's society.
"Japanese students are more difficult than any other foreign students. The men, for instance, have absolutely no idea how to act toward American women, and Japanese women often pick up habits and develop ideas that will not be accepted by Japanese men."

As sure as little apples, Newton knew that what goes up must come down.
But when it comes down to a really pleasurable filter cigarette, it's what goes up-in front of the filter, that is-that makes the difference!
And there's where Winston had an inspired idea - FilterBlend! Winston specially selects choice, mild tobaccos, then specially processes them for filter smoking. The result: FilterBlend up front of a modern filter. That's what makes Winston a complete filter cigarette.
Filter-Blend also makes Winston America's best-selling best-tasting filter cigarette.Take it from Sir Isaac:
"You don't have to be hit on the head to know that
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should!"
