Report prepared for the Foreign Economic Administration by a member of the staff of the United States Tariff Commission. This study focuses on Coal as a commodity and investigates its position in Japan's economy for trade. Gives an overview of the increase in coal demand during the war, but states that in the post-war economy, need should be reduced which will be necessary given Japan's small high grade coal supply.
