Trade War Looming to Trigger
World War 111?
I
N MY MEETING WITH
Prime Minister
Eisaku Sato of

apan in December
( see
Personal
in February 1971 issue), he mentioned
the past general economic trade wars as one of the
factors leading to World War II.
And right now a new trade war - especially in textiles and
footwear imports - is a definite threat. This could affect not

peoples of the world.
I feel our readers need

accelerating speed through the age of invention, the age of sci–
