NEW YORK — The flagging pro
ductivity of U.S. manufacturing in
dustries has become a matter of
grave concern not only to Washing
ton officials but to business and labor
leaders.
Talk about the reindustrialization
of America inevitably invites com
parison with Japan, whose 10 per
cent annual growth in productivity
compares with around zero growth
for America.
Osamu Watanabe, an official of the
Japan Trade Center in New York
who has spent many years working
on trade and industrial policy mat
ters at the Japanese Ministry of In
ternational Trade and Industry, pro
vided some interesting insights into
industrial policies that perhaps have
contributed to Japan’s strong
growth.
the seniority-based wage system and
the “company-based union,”
—’’Mutual understanding” be
tween government and business.
Watanabe said the crux of MITI’s
policy is an ongoing exchange of in
formation between government and
business.
Watanabe cited as keys to the effi
ciency that has encouraged Japan’s
growth:
— Strong entrepreneurship
among business executives.
—Labor’s cooperative attitude to
ward management stemming from
the life-time employment system,
Watanabe cited three major points
with which he totally agrees: the
need for businessmen to step up ex
port consciousness; the need to emu
late Japanese-style management,
whicb attaches great importance to
the worker-management cooper
ation; and the need for the creation of
an environment conducive to long
term investment through increased
tax cuts and accelerated deprecia
tion.

He believes Japan should cooper
ate as fully as possible with the Un
ited States in its reindustrialization
through such means as restraining
exports of certain products for desig
nated periods of time, increasing in
vestment in the United States, and
participating in joint efforts to de
velop technology.
“It is Japan's responsibility to
cooperate because a failure on the
part of the United States to revitalize
its industries, which will lead it to
protectionism, would certainly dis
turb the world economy, let alone
U.S.-Japan trade relations.

OSICALA, El Salvador—The old
peasant woman aimed her craggy
face and toothless smile straight at
the journalists visiting the refugee
camp and said, “Why should I be
scared of the Army? I welcome them
with open arms.”
But Filomena Serrano’s brown
eyes danced nervously toward the
well-dressed man who shadowed the
reporters, eavesdropping on the
answers some of the other 1,000 re
fugees gave when asked why they
had fled their farms.
“He’s ORDEN,” a government
social worker told reporters later, re
ferring to a rightwing paramilitary
gang blamed for a hefty chunk of the
bloody political violence pounding
El Salvador, especially its lush coun
tryside.
The military-civilian junta and lef
tist guerrillas battling to topple it ac
cuse each other of triggering the ex
odus, but no one doubts the problem
has reached major proportions in the
Massachussetts-sized nation of 4.8
million.
Catholic church sources estimate
30,000 persons — the overwhelming
majority of them poor peasants —
have been driven from their homes
by political violence since Jan. 1,
though many later returned to their
farms.
The military-civilian junta and leftist
guerrillas battling to topple it accuse each
other of triggering the exodus, but no one
doubts the problem has reached major
proportions in the nation of 4.8 million.

About 2,000 reached Nicaragua
and another 3,500 sneaked into
neighboring Honduras despite the
danger of being trapped in the fire-
fights between Salvadoran troops
and guerrillas that periodically rage
along the border.
U.S. Ambassador Robert White,
who has been pressing the govern
ment to curb the excesses of its
troops, believes the current violence
in the countryside goes beyond any
attacks by the government.
“Now you have pro-government
villages and anti-government vil
lages,” White said in a recent inter
view. “It’s a Hatfield and McCoy
thing — feuding, like in the Ken
tucky hills.”
White’s description appeared to
match, in some respects, the situa
tion in the hamlets of El Volcanillo,
Aguazarca and La Montanita —
homes of most of the refugees living
in Osicala, 102 miles east of San Sal
vador.
Almost all the mud-and-sticks
homes along the deserted dirt road
linking the three hamlets were shut
tight, huge logs piled against the
doors, mangy dogs sniffed through
rotting piles of garbage.
But further up the road nearly all
the homes were open and naked,
pot-bellied children played easily
alongside heavily armed guerrillas of
the leftist Revolutionary Peoples’
Army.

In emergencies, do this:
The number of incidents at Texas
A&M University requiring
emergency medical treatment is in
creasing, making it essential that all
students, faculty and staff know the
proper method of summoning help.
Dr. John Koldus, vice president
for student services, said in a
memorandum to all departments
that if an emergency occurs, the Uni
versity Police Department should be
contacted immediately. The tele
phone number is 845-1111. The cal
ler should provide the name and ex
act location of the victim, a brief de
scription of the injury or incident and
the caller’s name and telephone
number, he said.
If possible, the emergency team
should be met at the entrance to the
building or at the scene of the acci
dent and guided to the victim. The
victim should not be moved until the
emergency crew arrives.
If it is obvious to the observer that
the victim will require an ambu
lance, the caller should summon one
in addition to following the above
procedure. The University Police
should be notified if an ambulance
has been contacted.
The ambulance services available
in this area are the TAMU Health
Center at 845-1511, extension 50;
the College Station Fire Depart
ment, which may be contacted by
dialing 911, and the Bryan Fire De
partment at 779-1411.
