There's nothing new about that.
They had to do it before the war.
Although they must import at
least Is per cent of their food,
they haven't been doing too badly
i'm that field. Their food standard
now is 95 per cent of pre-war.
But they've had a lot of help
from US in that. The u. S., as the
occupying power, has spent $2,-

years to supply Japan with food
and other things.
