Plans Hotels
For Tourists

TOKYO May 6-As a part of a
scheme to attract tourists to Japan
after the signing of the peace
treaty, japanese officials are plan
ming a gigantic $75,0O0,000 hotel
building program.
A ten-year program for con-
struction of 1876 modern hotels and
tourist hostels throughout this
country is being developed by go
vernment officials as a part OF the
plan to lure tourists to this country.
1t is known that the japanese
are interested in seeing foreign
currency, especially American dol
lars, spent in this country in large
quantities. There is increasing be-
lief that the tourist business will
be one of Japan's best ways OF
getting funds to buy things that
she needs from other countries.
