e THE BATTALION Page 7 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1974 ^mal ff, 'jor are® e 'n (lie Ford says Japan ally against war, inflation nd com. st of pro. TOKYO (AP) — President Ford icknowledged Wednesday that the nited States and Japan “have had pine disagreements” on policy mat ters but declared the two nations ill work together to help solve the orld’s economiuills and avert war. In a text prepared for the first ormal address of an unprecedented presidential visit. Ford told a lun- iheon crowd at the Japan National iress Club, “We worked together o solve the problems of the cold liar. We succeeded because we worked together. Now we confront . . . new and even more compli cated problems. Just as we worked together to maintain today’s peace, we can work together to solve tomorrow’s problems.’ The President cited inflation, re cession and potential shortages of fuels and raw materials and said, “America cannot solve those prob lems alone. Nations can only solve them by working together. We can work together to meet the global economic issues. “I believe we are not just tempor ary allies; we are permanent friends. We share the same goals—peace, development, stabil ity and prosperity.” To criticism by some Americans of his decision to visit Japan “when we have unsolved problems at home,” Ford said his response is that U.S. domestic difficulties “are not just American problems but the problems of the world as a whole. ” Just prior to his press club ap pearance, Ford held a second day of meetings with Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka and other ranking Japanese officials. On Tuesday he assured the Japanese leaders they could count on a steady supply of food from the United States. The President expressed under standing for Japan’s “special sen sitivities” about nuclear weapons, a key domestic issue, and tried to clear the way for purchase of choice American beef, now in abundant supply in the United States as far mers sell off cattle they can’t afford to fatten up on expensive grain. “Our paths are not always identi cal,” Ford told Emperor Hirohito in a banquet toast, “but they all lead in the same direction—that of world peace and harmonious relations among mankind. Ford and Hirohito drove off in a long, black Nissan limousine to the Imperial Palace. Crowds were kept back by police but some 2,000 selected spectators, most of them women, were allowed within reach so that Ford could shake a few hands. Cheers rang out and small Ameri can and Japanese flags were waved in the spring-like breeze. In con trast to Monday, no demonstrations against Ford’s visit were reported anywhere in the Tokyo area. A railway worker’s strike for higher year-end bonuses, timed partially to embarrass the govern ment during Ford’s visit, forced an estimated 36 million Japanese to find alternate transportation to work or else to stay at home.

Reporting to newsmen on Ford’s talk with Tanaka, Kissinger said the President assured Tanaka that Japan “could count on a stable level of ag ricultural supplies from the United States.” This was a vital guarantee from the world’s largest food pro ducer after the Nixon administra tion last year abruptly halted ex ports of soybeans, a Japanese staple. Regarding U.S. efforts to get the Japanese government to ease its ban on meat imports, Kissinger said: “That question was discussed. I don’t want to speak for the Japanese government but my impression was that the President’s point will be taken very seriously.” Kissinger said Ford was under standing about Japanese concern over nuclear weapons reportedly brought into Japanese ports by U.S. warships. But he implied the con troversy remained unsettled by say ing that the two sides agreed on further consultation between the secretary of state and Foreign Minister Toshio Kimura. He added that the 1960 security treaty bet ween the two countries would be applied. The treaty does not allow the Un ited States to deploy or store nuc lear arms in Japan without the government’s permission. How ever, there have been reports, regu larly denied by the Japanese, that the agreement allows U. S. ships bearing nuclear weapons to stop routinely at Japanses ports. John W. Caple Mayo J.
