ance of payments picture.
Mr.. ReiSchauer said the tone
of the initial session was so
optimistic that one member of
the committee asked whether
too rosy a picture" was not
being painted. But it was ex-
pected that Japan, at later
sessions, would make overtureS
for American support in help
ing redress Japan's adverse
trade balance.
DECD Bid Expected
Informed observers antici-
pated the Japanese would ask
United States support for
Japan to participate in the
United States-Canadian-W West
European Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development, and United States
help in offsetting curbs on Jap
aneSe trade resulting from the
United States Buy American"
policy.

former Prime Minister Shigeru
YoShida suggested at a private
meeting with Mr.. Rusk yester-
lay that a partial solution to
the latter problem might be to
use Japan'S postwar rehabili-
tation debts to the United
States as payment for japanese
machinery and equipment as
aid desired by South Korea and
other Asian nations.
Mr.. Fujiyama told the con-
ference Japan'S current deficit
in its balance of payments had
been precipitated by feverish
preparations for liberalization
of trade. He explained that
the adverse balance-it reached
$l20 million in September
followed imports of capital
equipment by Japan's ambitious
industrialistS who anticipate a
jump in exports.
Ate into Reserves
The japanese also reported
that Prime Minister Hayato
Ikeda's program to double the
national income brought de-
mands for foreign exchange
that ate into Japan's reserves.
Mr.. Ikeda has taken steps to
cool off what has been de-
scribed as an "overheating" Of
the economy.
In his address inaugurating
the committee, Mr.. Rusk made

United States Ambassador

presentation pointed up adverse
affects of United States trade
restrictions but contained mo
implication of crisis"
Both sides agreed on the need
to liberalize trade, he added.
At a formal dinner, Secretary
Rusk said the atmosphere Of
the talks here and Of recent
negotiations with the Russians
is "as different as night and
day" The Hakone talks, he
said, are between parties who
trust each other and are COM

The other type of negotia-
