LONDON-Thursday's announce- ment that 1,023,583 people were out of work as of January 10 sent the jobless total over the million mark for the first time in 25 years. ZURICH - Unemployment is traditionally minimal in Switzer- land by international standards, with the number usually listed at between 50 and 130. But reports are appearing of a few small firms dismissing 10 or 20 workers at a time, and some financial sources say this could be taken as the beginning of an expected cooling of the economy.

JAPAN
IN THE wake of the Group of Ten agreement on dollar devaluation, Japanese business is preparing to do battle in the markets of the world. Refusing to make big conces- sions to US Treasury Secretary John Connally's pressure, the Japanese are now working with determination to render tense inoperative all the US attempts their and to curtail exports restrict their bargaining power.
First of all, Japanese business has no intention of reducing its drive to increase sales in the American market, which reached $7,500m last year. While revalu- ation will make it impossible to some lines in the States sell except at a loss. Japanese cars, motor bikes, sewing machines and cameras are expected to be as competitive as ever. So exporters will concentrate on these items. High US costs are still likely to keep down the level of exports to Japan, despite tariff and other concessions, which will be delayed for as long as possible in any case. On the hotly disputed ques- tion of access for foreign, and especially US capital investment sions are to be made. Business is determined to remain master in its own house and not to permit foreign control of sub- stantial sectors of industry.
So, although more US capital may be allowed in, Japan will try to prevent it rising as a pro- portion of total capital invested.
The businessmen hope that any losses suffered by their exports in the US market can be compen- sated for by increasing sales in Europe. Activities of Japanese banks will be extended, as will direct investment. In Britain and Europe, Japan- products have become ese increasingly competitive in the past year or two. Car sales are rising, although still not large in absolute terms. Radios, TVs and cameras have been doing well, boosting exports to Britain by 48 per cent in the first ten months of 1971. Japan is girding up for action inside the Common Market by finding ways round trade restric- More factories and banks tions. are likely to set up within the

following those already established in recent years.
Japanese capitalism has been warned by the slump and the international monetary crisis that it must fight hard to hang ontò its gains. Government policy is closely co-ordinated with business in waging trade war in the most ruthless and effective While speaking manner. softly about concessions and liberaliza- tion, the Japanese are going all out to push back their European and American rivals..

Boom boob WITH THE highest unemploy- 30 years, ment for more than production dropping, investment declining, what does the 'Scots- man' the economic make of situation? One of their financial wizards, Brian Donaghy, produced this gem last Wednesday. "The boom begins. Britain is now firmly, and officially, on the path to an economic boom.'
Thank you Mr Donaghy-and good night! He's no pansy ANOTHER piece of Australiana has reached our desk. It appears that the recently knighted premier of New South Wales, Robin Askin, has just had his name changed by deed poll.
Askin, a terrible Tory, decided that he did not want to be known as Sir Robin Askin. He apparently feels the name 'Robin' is too pansyish for an Aussie, muscle-bound, bronzed he-man premier. He's altered it to 'Robert'.
Dodgy US aid THE AGENCY for International Development (AID) is a key department in the US Adminis- tration. It is responsible for dispensing with many millions of dollars to underdeveloped countries.
On the advice of AID off- cials, millions are spent on pro- jects which help the ruling élites of various banana republics and military dictatorships.
Some of the so-called aid has a distinctly dodgy flavour.
Take a recent hand-out to the Dominican Republic. through the After checking records, Senator Cliffotd Case has found $126,422 loaned to a privately-owned hotel near the Dominican capital of Santo Dom- ingo. The hotel owners spent the money on providing a swimming pool filter system, a diving board, underwater lighting, an extensive stools, restaurant, swivel toasters, griddles, electric kettles and frankfurter 10t plates. warmer and a dry-cleaning press.
Case said: 'Barring some extra- ordinary explanation, this IS a shocking misuse of the AID pro- gramme! Were the AID people unhorsed by these amazing revelations?
Not at all. A spokesman explained that the money was a perfectly legitimate loan. The republic needed to boost tour- ism, he said, so money had to be spent on hotels. Japanese attack on Saigon WHEN it comes to making a fast buck-or in this case, a fast yen—the Japanese capitalists are the greatest. Take war-shattered Saigon.
Who do you think is pouring in massive investment capital in the wake of the so-called US withdrawal. Ever-anxious for en- its markets in SE Asia, larging Japan is quietly moving in.
Four Japanese companies,. in- cluding such giants as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kubota, are either operating or building joint venture concerns to pro- duce agricultural machinery.
Matsushita Electric Industriés, Sony and Sanyo Electric are making radio and television sets.
Not that making profits in Vietnam is anything new to these giants. The Japanese capitalists have prospered throug- out the war through export of consumer goods, (nearly every- one rides a Honda) and through sales to US servicemen. Red letter A. TELEGRAM supporting the miners arrived the other day from Soviet coal miners. But instead reaching Lawrence Daly in person, it was addressed to 'Comrade Euston Road'. Méanwhile, when are the Polish miners going to send their telegram of support?
