...Minister Eisaku Sato in 1969, was not present. The official explanation was that while Sato is merely head of government, Nixon is head of government and state as well. Protocol thus dictated that he not attend unless Emperor Hirohito put in an appearance in Tokyo. After Foreign Minister Kiichi Aichi signed for Japan, Sato said that he was "happy beyond words" and hailed the treaty as the beginning of "a new Pacific...

Reappraisal Needed. For the Japanese hosts, and for most of the 4,500 fans who thronged daily into the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, the results were a severe blow. Japan won only one title-in the women's team competition-for its worst showing since 1952. To compound the ignominy, the Japanese saw their 1969 world singles champ, Shigeo Ito, upset in the men's final by Sweden's Stellan Bengtsson, 18. Said a crestfallen spokesman for the Japanese delegation: "We simply have to have a sweeping reappraisal of our techniques...

Foreign Minister Aichi is ready to retreat to a back-up position that seems more acceptable to the U.S. It would provide for a three-year agreement restricting imports in a number of categories-possibly to 1969 levels, although that base year would be negotiable. This plan also could be rejected, since it does not offer the all-inclusive quotas that U.S. textile men demand. It is quite likely that unless the Japanese agree to sweeping "voluntary" reductions in their shipments...

Foreign Minister Kiichi Aichi attributes Japan's troubles abroad to the "social maladroitness" of an island people unused to dealing with others. The Japanese realize that much of the criticism is overdrawn, but it stings nonetheless, and they are pondering ways to improve their image. Indonesian Foreign Minister Adam Malik suggests a "Japanese Marshall Plan" for Asia. The idea may be worth exploring as a way to help Japan's neighbors through a crucial phase in their development. It is not necessarily the answer to improving Japan's image, however, as any ugly American will agree...
