Japanese trade inquiry signals fear for American manufacturers
A committee led by Mr. Baker and J. B. Currier investigates Japan's raw materials and production capabilities. Other members study Japanese machinery, import duties, and the potential shift of manufacturing to the Pacific. Reports due January 6 seek to gauge threats to U S merchants amid hearsay of cheap Japanese goods and possible plant moves.
