Collection of digitized newspaper and magazine articles, reports, guides, and books that document the American perspective on Japan from the years 1947 to 1968.
“The movement in the United States to boycott Japanese products is utterly unwise. Admittedly, a policy of unlimited imports of Japanese products in direct competition with American made items is unfair.

Higher duty should be charged on imports, thereby protecting our basic industries. Certainly a boycott is not the way - it is not American. Japan is dependent upon its trade. We trade with her on a fair basis, or she will be pushed into the communist trade of China and Russia, and may then become under their domination. …”
