Report Japan Interested In' Buying Canadian Coal, Grain
OTTAWA lCPl-lapan is inter- ested in buying coal from Canada, Japan's deputy trade ministe said Wednesday.
Homan Kawano said his country also expects to' buy more Cana- dian grain thls.year than last as a result of two typhoons that hit crops in Japan. Last year Japan bought 81,880,000 worth of Cana- dian wheat, 08,098,000 worth of barley and 81,163,000 of flsxseed.
”But we hope in return," he told a reporter through an Inter- preter, ”that Canada wil buy more Japanese goods."
Mr. Kawano discussed the pos- sibility of getting Canadian coal. mainly for Japan's steel industry. in talks with Mines Minister Prud- ham and W. E. Uren, chairman of the Dominion coal board.
He said the possibility is still under study by Japan. particu- larly regarding quality. The main need was coking coal for steel furnaces.
TRADE INCREASE ,
Japan would like to sell more steel products, ships. tankers and other heavy industrial goods to Canada could use in further de- veloping its natural resources.
Last year Japan was Canada's third-ranking custome and had moved up to fifth place in un- tions selling to this country.
Koto Matsudaira. Japanese am- bassador, said it is Japan's hope that within two years trade be- tween the two countries can be on an equal scale.
Last year Canada sold 896,000.- 000 worth of goods to Japan while buying 336,000,000 worth of Japan- ese goods.
Mr. Kawano said th eapanesa government has taken drastic steps to limit manufhcture of tex- tiles in Japan and aofd prook- Ing countries like Canada and the
