Recently Indo-China has had an export balance in trade with Japan of as high as 13-to-1. The new treaty seemed likely to increase Japan's annual imports from 26,000,000 yen (1939) to 70,000,000 yen (including coal, corn, iron ore, zinc, tin ore, in return for which Japan would sell textiles, porcelain, manufactured goods). In addition, Japan will be allowed to defer payments for one year on the large supplies of rice she expects to buy.

Important among them are rubber (estimated to amount to 354,000 tons this year), and tin (45,000 tons) from the Far East. Furthermore, nitrates (300,000 tons) and copper (300,000 tons) from South America's West Coast may soon be landed in the South, shipped north by rail...
