Jopon Out Of Red ,

TOKYO, May 6 (P.-Japan
got back into the black in 1854,
due to American spending here,
more exports and fewer imports,
the annual report of the Ministry
of International Trade and In

It was the first time since
1852, when huge American mill
tary outlays In the Korean war
pulled Japan. over the financial
hump.
In 1858 Japan sagged 5000
million into the red but last year
the nation managed a trading
profit of $172 million.
The ministry report showed
that spending by American
forces here again had q large
part in boosting the nation into
the black.
Meanwhile exports rose to
about $3.50 million and imports
were held to $1,960 million.
American expenditures, tourist
spending and the like ran to
$602 million to make up the diff
ference and more.
The Ministry cautioned against
optimism. 1t pointed out that
Japan's belt-tightening program
must be continued and made
even tougher to pull exports

only now are officials in Wash

It would take so little. rela-
lively speaking, to bolster
the Spanish economy and
strengthen the whole country
to assure effective military
cooperation with the United
States that it is unfortunate
the Iberian peninsula as a
whole has not come in for
more attention in the past.
For, with the American Navy
assuming the biggest RESPONSE
bility in the Mediterranean
and the American Air Force
using the new bases here as an
operational front that can
send planes into the heartland
of Europe, it is nothing less
than a tragedy that so much
time already has been lost.
When France was defeated
in 1910 and American air
power came into the war in
1941, the only bases available
were those in Britain. The war
might have been shortened
if the United States Strategic
Air Force could have had
bases like those it is building
today in Spain. If, moreover,
the political situation inside
Britain should some day pro-
duce a restraint against our
use of bases there for atomic
warfare, the Spanish bases
will provide an invaluable al
tentative. Americas defense
investment in Spain, therefore,
Is as logical as it is farsighted.
