Excerpt from Cotton and Chemical Fibers: Competition in Japan Japanese consumers, however, unmistakably prefer cotton over chemical fiber products, and this marked preference has already shown an effect in the government's plans to slow the upward trend in chemical fiber production. Japan has apparently come to the conclusion that, to com pete strongly with. Other textile producers of the world, it must become a large exporter of high - value goods and of products manufactured with indigenous materials, in order to offset foreign exchange expenditures-that it can maintain neither markets nor a reasonable balance of payments with large-volume exports of low-value goods. 'governmentinspection assures that export items maintain quality stand ards and are sold at a fair price. The future of the textile industry, in Japan depends on many factors-some subject to control by the Japanese Govern ment, but many beyond its control. The future welfare of the cotton textile industry as well as the chemical fiber industry may depend, to a substantial degree, upon the aggressiveness, imagination, and ingenuity of the industries' leaders, as well as their realistic appraisal of the production and marketing problems confronting each industry. Japan will undoubtedly remain a large buyer of United States cotton. Any expansion of cotton imports, however, will result from the interplay of countless factors, not the least of which is a competitive price level for United States cotton.
