Economic Highlights on Japan US treaty and trade impact
The Graettinger Times discusses the January 26 agreement of a United States Japan commercial treaty. It explains Japan's imperial aims, its resource gap, and dependence on the US for raw cotton scrap metal oil and other commodities while noting the potential for tariff actions that could affect Nippon’s exports and Japan bound trade. The piece characterizes the US as holding an economic pistol to Japan’s heart.

Denunciation of the treaty and Japan policy shift
The piece argues that U S displeasure with Japan over China and mistreatment of Americans justifies withholding treaty renewal until American rights are guaranteed and Japan accepts China's integrity and the Kellogg pact. It predicts slower but possible embargo steps, notes Yonai as a moderate premier, and warns relations may worsen before improving. It then shifts to rural anecdotes about a market sale heifer escape and a farmer finding a three horned cotton-tail rabbit.
