Ford agrees on need to halt nuclear arms spread
Minister Kakuei Tanaka on the
need to halt the spread of
nuclear weapons and pledged
closer ties between the two
countries.
Ford wound up his hectic
second full day in Tokyo at a
banquet for Emperor Hirohito
with a toast to “the government
of Japan and millions and
millions of Japanese.”
Borrowing the words of the
first Japanese envoy to the
United States, Ford told Hirohi-

Visiting in Japan
to the most important lesson he
had learned in his “memora
ble” trip to Japan was “the
time has come when no nation
may remain isolated and refuse
to take part in the affairs of the
rest of the world.”
Ford began his day with a
second round of talks with
Tanaka, then addressed a
luncheon at the Japan Press
Club, watched a demonstration
of martial arts and attended
three cocktail parties prior to
the banquet. One party was for
leaders of the American com
munity in Japan.
Tanaka and Ford issued a
joint communique agreeing on
the need to prevent the spread
of nuclear weapons—a clear

effort to appease Japanese
sensitivities over recent reports
that U.S. warships bearing
atomic weapons have stopped
in Japanese ports.
The communique also ap
peared to signal Japan’s
willingness, after initial opposi- *
tion, to accept a Ford
administration proposal for all
oil consuming nations to cut «
their petroleum imports by 10
percent
But the agreements were
shadowed by predictions from •
within Tanaka’s own ruling
Liberal Democratic party that
the prime minister might be ,
forced to resign under fire very
shortly after he bids Ford a
final farewell Saturday.
Secretary of State Henry A. •
Kissinger said Ford’s official
discussions in Tokyo had
“achieved the optimum of what
he could have hoped for.” •
A power struggle has been
under way for Tanaka’s remo
val from office since a t
Japanese magazine published a
lengthy accusation in October
that Tanaka had used various
cabinet jobs to enrich himself. •
Tanaka, a 56-year-old mil
lionaire in the construction
business, has acknowledged he
made money but denies he did *
anything wrong. The accusa
tions triggered the worst crisis
in Tanaka’s 28-year career as a ,
conservative political figure.
“Calls for his resignation will
intensify after President Ford
leaves Japan Friday,” one •
source said. “His rivals within
the LDP and in the opposition
parties will go all out to drive
him out of office.” •
Ford addressed the Japanese
people directly in his televised
speech from the press club,
saying “just as we can work *
together to maintain today’s
peace, we can work together to
solve tomorrow’s problems. ” «
“We intend not only to
remain a trustworthy ally, but
a reliable trading partner,”
Ford said. “We will continue to •
be suppliers of the goods you
need. If shortages occur, we
will take special account of the
needs of our trading partners.” *
The speech, which was
translated simultaneously into
Japanese, also contained Ford’s ,
first unqualified admission that
the United States faces a
recession.
Large crowds lined the •
streets during the President’s
l(l-minute drive to the press
chib. There was no cheering or
flag-waving, as there had been •
to some degree Tuesday, but
neither was a hostile face
visible.
Ford was guarded by the *'
heaviest security shield Japa
nese police have ever mounted
for a foreign visitor, but the,
mass demonstrations that had
been feared during his visit
failed to materialize.
“We consider the exchanges *
to have been extraordinarily
useful and important, and to
have laid the basis for a new t
era between the United States
and Japan,” Kissinger said.
He hinted there may be early
developments on the American,*
proposal for oil import reduc
tions. Japan must import 80 per
cent of its petroleum.
Japanese officials are now •
sympathetic to the American
program unveiled in Chicago
last week, Kissinger said, and «
“we are encouraged by the
talks with the Japanese that
have taken place.”
The President was to leave •
Tokyo Thursday for Kyoto, the
Japanese holy city specifically
spared of the atomic bomb by
U.S. officials during World War •
11. There he will take in the
sight of ancient temples and get
his first taste of Japanese
cuisine in an informal dinner *
with geisha girls and officials.
The 1,100-year-old city is run
by an avowed anti-American, *
Communist-oriented governor.
It is a major center for the
ultraleftist terrorist group
called the Red Army—the •
organization responsible for the
1972 Lod Airport massacre in
Israel and several airline
hijackings.
It is generally believed that
Ford’s visit to Kyoto is being
called nonofficial because Gov. *
Torazo Ninagawa has refused
to meet the President Press
Secretary Ron Nessen said
Ford was visiting Kyoto be-*
cause “he has a feeling for
history and traditions of
Japan.”
Ford goes Friday to South
Korea for a one-day visit the
second leg of his first major
presidential journey abroad. He •
will fly Saturday from Seoul via
Tokyo to a weekend minisum
mit meeting with Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev at the Siberi- •
an port of Vladivostok.
At an evening reception given
for him by the American Japan #
Society, Ford said his trip had
been “a memorable one.”
