Bush proclaims trip a success, although others are less sure

TOKYO (AP) President Bush flew home today at the end of a 12day journey to Australia and Asia, proclaiming success in “leveling the playing field” in U.S.-Japan competition and winning jobs for Americans. But executives from the auto industry, the supposed beneficiary of trade concessions squeezed from Japan after arduous negotiations, complained that too little was done to turn around Japan’s huge trade surpluses. BUSH, SPEAKING to reporters shortly after boarding Air Force One for home, said the trip had produced “major accomplishments” in further opening Japan’s markets to U.S. goods. But he said “it will take a while for people to realize what did happen.” After his arrival in Washington this morning following a 12-hour

flight from Tokyo, he planned to make a speech heralding the accomplishments of his trip to Australia, Singapore, Korea and Japan. Democrats, however, were already saying Bush was returning from Japan empty-handed. “JAPAN IS offering table crumbs,” Michigan Sen. Donald Riegle said in Washington. “They’re obviously going to do the least that they can get away with. Unfortunately the administration just hasn’t pushed them before and didn’t push them very hard on this trip.” After suffering a sudden flu that led to his fainting at a Tokyo state dinner Wednesday night, Bush cut a planned speech from his schedule before leaving Tokyo today. He also scratched a Commerce

Department speech he was to have made back home later today. He said before his departure that he was feeling better and “I almost went running today, but then I thought, well, somebody would point out that I was overdoing it” JAPAN WAS THE centerpiece of his trip and the site of the most contentious issues Bush and his aides had to discuss as they sought to make a dent in the s4l billion U.S. trade deficit with Japan. Bush said the opening of Japanese markets was a way to help the moribund home front economy and create jobs through more exports. “I think we have created jobs,” he said. He declined to estimate a number but, citing a formula that $1 billion in exports generates 20,000 jobs, said Japan’s pledge to

Retirement Is Your Move, Not the Company’s 1991 is the year for a 1994 retiree to begin planning any possible cross-country retirement move. It can be done in less than three years, but it won’t be as scientific and you won’t have as much enjoyment in learning about other communities. Except for those advantageously located in the Sun Belt and those who are 100 percent certain they never, never want to leave where their present home is located it is my opinion that everyone profits by giving a move consideration. The reason for three years lead time is that you have to visit a place before you really know it. And relate it to your own preferences in climate and lifestyle and your own downright necessities in climate and living costs. Since it is most unlikely to make a thorough visit on one vacation and a person ought to get to know about three possible locations, it takes three years to do the research and the resulting paperwork. The scouting adventure begins with a master plan which specifies the geographic sites which will be in your “final three.” This, I think, can best be performed with “Retirement Places Rated” ($16.95), the brand new edition of which, if not at your bookstore, may be obtained from Prentice Hall Press, 15 Columbus Circle, New York, NY 10023. The 151 places in the book are counties, each with a greater number of 60-to-65 agers today than there were persons 50-55 a decade ago. Seven factors are analyzed about each location money matters, housing, climate, personal safety, available services, opportunities for work and leisure activities. The reader begins by completing a personal reference inventory and then relating these to the indicated key factors

buy more U.S. auto parts could mean 200,000 jobs. BUSH EMERGED Thursday with a loose pledge from Japan to buy 20,000 more US. cars per year, and to double purchases of auto parts, to sl9 billion, by fiscal 1994. “This visit has been a success. It has reaffirmed our vital political, security and economic relationship. It has advanced our goal of leveling the playing field in the U.S.-Japan competition of further opening Japan’s markets to our experts,” Bush said. Miyazawa was also eager to put the trip in a positive light “In the history of the human race, never before have two nations of such different history and culture deepened such a relationship of mutual interdependence,” he said.

in the listed communities. The research is thorough and readable. It is also realistic concentrating on what one might expect to pay for a home, utilities, health care, and so on and exactly what kind of recreational activities are convenient. But a couple cannot get the “feel” of a retirement locale entirely from a book. Once the three target areas and they could all be part of the same geographic region are selected, I would suggest two more programs. The first would be a short-term (one to three month) subscription to the leading circulation newspaper in the key city. If a person is unsure about the name and circulation of the paper, he/she can look it up in the Editor and Publisher Yearbook at the library. I would recommend paying a little more to get the “home” edition rather than the “mail” edition because one ought to have the ads of local stores, particularly food stores, and the regular classified advertising pages. The paper will tell one more about the amusements in the community, what developmental planning is going on, and what the taxpayers are complaining about. The second is a trip to the prospective location. Some of the things to be checked on will have been suggested by the newspaper reading. One should eat in a few of the local restaurants, visit a church or two of the preferred denomination, and take a tour of available homes and apartments with a real estate agent. After these expeditions have been completed and a place selected, it can be fun to plan the future with more assurance. One’s retirement surroundings can be the biggest factor in retirement happiness, for never has a person been so surrounded.

40% of Canadians think they will someday join U.S.

TORONTO (AP) sible that Canada could become just a northern region of the United States in the next 50 years? Nearly four Canadians in 10 think so. A whopping 67 percent already believe the United States has too much influence on the Canadian way of life. CANADIAN identity, and specifically the differences that separate Canadians from Americans, is the subject of continuous discussion, countless articles and not a few jokes. How does one recognize a Canadian in New York? He’s the one standing at a red light in the middle of a snowstorm at 2 a.m. on a deserted street waiting for the light to turn green. Yes, Canadians are great lawabiders. The real kinder, gentler nation

is, in fact, Canada. CIVILIZED, POLITE, unaggressive, and many will admit even boring, they bristle at the idea that Canadians are nothing but Americans writ small. But when a Gallup poll published Thursday asked 1,006 Canadians if they thought Canada would become a part of the United States over the next half century, 37 percent said it would. A mere 52 percent said clearly it would not Eleven percent had no opinion. The margin of error for the poll, conducted Dec. 4-7, was 4 percent. PEOPLE IN Ontario, Canada’s richest, most populous province, seem the most convinced. Forty-one percent believe in the inevitablility of joining up with big brother to the south.
