West Virginia Governor Aims Japan Tour to Boost Exports
Gov. W. W. Barron announced an April 3 to 21 trip to Japan with nine other governors, organized by the National Governors Conference and the State Department, to promote West Virginia exports especially coal. He noted Australia’s push into the Japanese market and cited 1960 WV exports at 52.9 million, about 44 million in coal and 5 million in chemicals, as evidence of strong foreign demand. The trip aims to exchange ideas, resolve common problems, and foster trade and culture.
