...governments are advocates of greater freedom for imports of European products into Japan itself." Folke Lindskog, chairman of Svenska Kullagerfabriken (S.K.F.), emphasized that "the Japanese protect their home market.

The CPB has provided so little reasoning for its actions that conjecture too often intercedes where fact should prevail. And we still question exactly where the White House stands and who, if anyone, is the mastermind behind the current explosion in governmental influence...
