Late last winter, when he launched his ten-year "People's Income Doubling Plan," Japan's Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda decided that his nation's economic growth rate (a phenomenal 17.7% in 1960) would soon stabilize at an average 7% a year. On that basis, he calculated, Japan could boost its gross national product from null $39.8 billion to $72 billion by 1970.

Last week a Red Chinese trade-union delegation beat its way up and down Japan, loudly demanding that Premier Hayato Ikeda "suspend his hostility" toward Red China. And a delegation of 16 top Japanese businessmen flew off to Peking on an economic good-will mission.
