STUDY REVEALED

WASHINGTON, Jan. rs. - Up -
With the Japanese-American trade
treaty due to expire in "a hours, the
commerce department made public
tonight a study showing that Nippon
depends upon this country for a third
of all the foreign merchandise it
buys and normally sells a fifth of all
it's exports here.
The treaty will end at midnight
Friday. The state department, pros
testing alleged discrimination against
American interests in Japanese-occu.
pied areas of China, denounced it
last summer, but the cancellation
could not take effect until six months
after notice to Japan.
So far there has been no indicas
ton here that the treaty's demise
will bring any immediate change IN
Japanese-American trade relations.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
said today that, as far as he knew
no discrimination against Japanese
goods would be made in assessing
customs duties after tomorrow.
