		+	Imports to Japan: As far as natural resources go Japan is a barren country. During it's period of imperialistic expansion it sought to amend this fact but after WW2 the country was forced to rely heavily on imports. All rubber was imported from South or Southeast Asia. Most wool, hemp, flax and jute are imported from Paskistan and India. Only 5% of petroleum is domestically produced. Iron ore is used to create one of Japan's major exports, steel. Local ore is of low quality so most of it is imported from India, about 8 million tons to support its industry. Malaya, Indonesia, Thailand and Burma supply Japan with tin. About 20% of food consumed also had to be imported. Information as of 1958.<sup>12</sup>
		+
		+	Industry: As of 1958 Japan was the most industrially country making 20% of its domestic product. Annually Japan produces 11.1 million metric tons of crude steel (66% for ECAFE region), 13M metrics tons of cement (50%), 47M metric tons of coal (49%), 72 billion kwh of electricity (70%). These are all lagging behind the countries within Western Europe and the United States. At this time the average income for a middle class citizen is about $50 compared to the $500 wage in the USA.<sup>12</sup>
		+
		+	WW2 Recovery: The mining and manufacturing industry grew at a 22% rate during the first ten years after the war as opposed to 9% before the war. Real national income improved at a rate of 11% compared to 3-5% prewar. In 1957, the Korean War started and japan saw a 58% rise in real national income, industrial activity rose by 158% and employment went up by 22%. Exports failed to reach prewar levels due to inflation, domestically profitable sales and production costs. Reasons for this growth were attributed to 1: the 6 billion dollar investment the USA made in Japan as well as the 4 billion dollars that was used to purchased supplies for the Korean War, 2: 77% increase in world trade between 1948 and 1957, 3: USA sponsership, 4: numurous economic reforms and admission into the General Agreement on Tarrifs and Trade, 5: the Korean War's stimulation on the economy, 6: sound monetary policy, 7: higher domestic consumption and 8: high rate of capital investment.<sup>12</sup>
