TAKAMINE mmm United Press International TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Taken Fukuda is meeting resident Carter today in a White louse summit that may do more to potlight Japanese-American prob- ms than solve them. Awaiting Fukuda in Washington the task of asking the Carter ad- unistration to do something to abilize the crumbling dollar, while ying to explain away a Japanese ade surplus with America that now uns at a record level. Outside the realm of official busi- ess, Fukuda also could encounter emonstrations from American nvironmentalists upset over the scent slaughter of 1,000 dolphins y Japanese fishermen. Officially, the purpose of the visit i to coordinate Japanese and merican efforts to foster world re- wery from the recession that fol- iwed the 1973 oil crisis. However, many Tokyo political ammentators think Fukuda origi- ally chose May 3 for the Carter immit with the idea of reaping a ich harvest of publicity just before calling a general election, a strategy iow gone awry. They note that Fukuda had left )en the two months between the Carter summit and the meeting of chief executives of the world’s eco- iomic powers in July, providing bough time for an election to be ield. Fukuda also hoped by now to be on his way to concluding a popular treaty of friendship with China, the commentators say, and expected Ja pan’s recovery from the recession to be farther along than it is. However, the Chinese treaty has been sidetracked by a dispute be tween the two countries over own ership of the Senkaku Islands in the China Sea. And despite government pump priming, Japan’s economy is still picking up slowly. The Carter administration was not enthusiastic about the May 3 date. The Fukuda-Carter summit is being squeezed into one day instead of the two usually allowed for such meetings. Fukuda is seeing Carter for three hours, including a lunch. Allowing an hour for interpreters to do their work, it will be about a one-hour conversation. During the 1977 calendar year, Japan had a $8.1 billion trade surplus with the United States, an all-time record according to U.S. Commerce Department figures. Presidential trade envoy Robert Strauss visited Japan in January and reached agreement with Japanese officials on steps to cut the surplus to a level acceptable to the United States. These measures have shown no signs of taking hold so far. For the first three months of this year the Japanese surplus with America has averaged about $1 billion a month, even more than last year. The Japanese are worried about the decline of the dollar, fearing that the economy of the whole non- Communist world will be upset if the trend continues. Fukuda is ex pected to plead for American mea sures to support the greenback, and also express hope that Congress will soon pass Carter’s energy bill. Japanese officials believe the United States has no hope of slow ing the drain of dollars to the Mid dle East oil companies until that happens.
