...bill never got through. The housewives' campaign was quickly taken up by the Tokyo press, and soon block headlines and black editorials were condemning the dry cleaners' lobby. The furor hit Premier Eisaku Sato, whose popularity keeps dropping as prices keep rising, where it hurt most. Worried about the latest opinion polls, which showed that only 28.8% of the Japanese public supports him, Sato warned his party leaders to "proceed slowly" on the bill-which in his language meant drop it. Economic Planner Aiichiro Fujiyama chimed in to say that it should be "studied further"-which...
...other words, they wanted to know what Japan would give them. Before anybody could say "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere," the Japanese were dangling goodies. Premier Eisaku Sato and his colleagues promised to expand their aid for transportation and communications, ports and harbors. Specifically, the Japanese said they would increase what they loosely call economic aid-including war reparations, long-term credits, private investments and government grants-from $350 million in fiscal 1965 to $870 million in fiscal 1968, mostly for Southeast Asia.

...Tokyo, Humphrey drew heavy hints from editorial writers that he had better not ask Japan to get involved in the war in Viet Nam. That was a prime reason for the visit, and in talks with Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, Humphrey requested increased Japanese help, consisting of economic and medical aid and refugee relief. Sato merely looked bland. Hubert also handed Sato a letter from Dean Rusk outlining the U.S.'s negotiation proposals on Viet Nam and assured him that Washington was doing all it could...
That's the hope as well of Self Defense Forces Director Raizo Matsuno, 48, a lean, grey-haired ex-naval officer and protege of Premier Eisaku Sato. As the man charged with Japan's immediate security decisions, Matsuno would like to upgrade Japanese defense spending from 1.3% of the gross national product to 2% (the U.S. spends nearly 9% of its G.N.P. on defense). That would amount to $1.1 billion and greatly increase both the materiel and the mobility of the armed forces. Matsuno's bill is currently before the Diet, and it has Premier Sato...
