Japan Hopes To Maintain Heavy Buying In Canada
Japan hopes to maintain last ycar‘s record level of purchases frc:.1 Canada, says Ts-urunosuke Ijima, executive director of the Japan trade centre in Toronto.
Mr. Ijim"a, in a new release, said Japan. now is undergoing a period of economic adjustment, and monetary controls are being applied to strengthen foreign-ex- change reserves.
This would necessarily affect shipments from Canada, but there is every indication at present, he stated, that the Japanese_ econ omy will be strongenough to sus- tain buying at the 1957 level. 1
Last year Japan bought $139,- 151,938 worth of:,Canadian pro- ducts and ranked as Canada’s fourth best customer, while Can- ada’s purchases from Japan total- led $61,604,709. :’ 5 NEED RAW MATERIALS ' “As a highly - industral-ied, heavily ‘- populated country. with limited land and natural resour- ces, Japan must continue to buy chiefly raw materials and food- st1;_”.”:,” Mr. Ijima said. “How- ever, last year Canada sold to Japan $1,500,000 worth of machin-
ery, office machines and similar
manufiactured products.”

In another recent statement, Mr. Ijim-a said the‘ popular con- ception of Japan as “a low-cost production utopia” is out of date.
“Ninety-nine per cent of all workers in Japan‘s cotton textile mills are unionied,” he stated.
“Moreover, Japanese textile workers enjoy more extensive fringe benefits than their Western counterpart—s. The textile industry —largest employer in Japan with 25 per" cent of the total industrial labor force-—keeps its workers on the payroll even when business is slack’ and management has to borrow tokeep factories operat- ing. 1 OTHER BENEFITS s
“In addition, to fringe benefits common in North America, in- cluding paid annual vacations and statutory holidays, Japanese tex- tile ,firms give maternity leave with pay, and bonuses averaging two months wages to all workers. Employees are retired at age 55.
“Unmarried employees usually live in free housing supplied by the company; there are recre- ational and educatiohal facilities, sports, and social centres; med- ical-hospital - surgical facilities; and staff and even matrimonial
parents, _Mr. and Mrs. Adams. . ,

“Add to this the transportation costs of importingraw materials and shipping finished products abroad. -
“Despite an impression that Japan’s simpler standard of liv- ing guarantees her a price ad- vantage, many Japanese products cannot be delivered to Canada at competitive prices. '
“The result is that Japan is, in practice, restricted for foreign earn-ings to those lines in which she excels in manufacturing skill.
“Too often when discussing the labor situation in the c_otton-tex- tile industry people rely on facts which fit pre-war conditions and not those of the new Japan.”
Mr. Ijama listed the top 15 items sold by Canada to Japan in 1957 as follows: ‘
