...Japan's strengths, like Britain's, is its ethnic homogeneity. But this has bred an almost schizoid attitude?now arrogant, now absurdly humble?and it has led to a distorted, inward-looking perspective. "You have intermarried, you have had a mixing of population," says Diet Member Kiichi Miyazawa. "We have had none of that. We have so little in common with the West...
Executive Watch. Japan's chief negotiator, Kiichi Miyazawa, Minister of International Trade and Industry, was under as much pressure from his country's textile men as Stans was from the U.S. industry. Accompanying Miyazawa to Washington and keeping close watch to see that he did not surrender too much, were 40 Japanese textile executives. Back home they had sponsored an advertising campaign with the slogan: "Do not give in Trademark to of the unreasonable demands." Trademark of the campaign was a bulldog, symbol of tenacity. Miyazawa offered to restrict shipments on 23 items that make...
...threat of mandatory quotas has apparently been effective, though at a considerable cost in terms of U.S. esteem among the Japanese.

The Kendall plan was considered negotiable by diplomats of both governments, but was summarily rejected by both textile industries. Now the Japanese appear...
Back-Up Position. The Japanese foreign ministry seems convinced that Miyazawa's offer will fail. If it does. 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...
