Holdsworth Sees
Japan-Alaska
Trade Expansion
Alaska appears to have in a rela
tively undeveloped state many of
the raw materials which are needed
by Japan to meet its changing and
expanding requirements.
Phil R. Holdsworth, head of the
Department of Natural Resources
for Alaska, recently returned from
Japan, where he went to discuss
specific raw material requirements
by Japanese industry.
Reporting to the Governor on
his travels, Holdsworth said he
found the Japanese generally un
aware of the attractive features of
Alaska’s corporation, industrial tax
incentive and mining license tax
laws.
“Our proximity to Japan, as com
pared with other ‘western’ sources
of supply, makes Alaska especially
attractive as a source of raw ma
terials,” Holdsworth said. “Our
natural resources must be placed
on the market competitively, how
ever, or Japanese industry will be
forced to turn to their other close
neighbor, Russia, for needed raw
materials. Japan very clearly pre
fers to deal with us.”
He described timber as being
Japan’s most critically needed raw
material at this time. Present im
ports of lumber and logs amount to
3%-billion board feet a year.
Holdsworth noted that Alaska’s
interior forests, comprising some
40-million acres of commercial tim
ber land, have an estimated net
yearly growth of 4-billion board
feet.
“It would appear that if Alaska
can place resources on the market
competitively, it could well meet
Japan’s import needs for forest
products,” Holdsworth stated. “In
terest was also expressed by Ja
pan’s pulp industry in the develop
ment of additional pulp mills
within Alaska.”
In the minerals field, he des
cribed those of major interest to
Japanese industry as being iron,
copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and an
timony in order of importance.
Holdsworth said keen interest
also was expressed in petroleum
products, including liquified na
tural gas. Japan is presently con
structing especially designed ves
sels for the transport of liquified
natural gas produced by Japanese
industry in the Middle East. Alas
ka’s proximity to Japan makes this
extremely attractive to the Japan
ese consumer. ,
Another Alaskan potential which
is relatively undeveloped but in
which interest was expressed was
reindeer meat.
Cancer Drive Nets
$65,000 In Alaska
$65,000 was raised in the annual
crusade of the Alaska Division of
the American Cancer Society con
cluded August 31. Mrs. William
A. Egan was chairman of the cru
sade.
Anchorage led the crusade by ex
ceeding their goal and attaining the
largest amount reported. Thirteen
other communities exceeded their
goals. It is expected that $68,000
may have been raised when all re
ports are in.
