Common Market, Japan Ponder Countermoves - The BRUSSELS (UPI) European Common Market has left its options open on declaration of a trade war with the United States. We dont want to speak of retaliation at this stage, but we are one keeping our options open, here official said Common Market the other day. European businessmen angered by the 10 per cent surcharge on U.S. imports imposed by President Nixon August 15 as part of an economic package designed to put American balance of payments back in the black, have demanded retaliation. The Common Market's executive commission has estimated that the U.S. import surcharge will cut into the six member nations annua1 trade balance to the tune of 2 billion. Common Market demands that the surcharge be removed have been rejected by Washington. Meanwhile in Tokyo, Japan is considering a plan to levy a 10 per cent tax on selected exports if the United States agrees to lift its 10 per cent surcharge on imports, according to a government source. This would be quite a sacrifice for Japan, said Eimei Yamashita, g official in the a Ministry of International Trade and But the U.S. Industry (MITI). an effect. such is surcharge having Yamashita said export contracts signed by Japanese traders declined by 90 per cent in 10 days during because of confusion surrounding both the American import surcharge and the flotation of the yen.

He continued, We believe that the special revenue sharing proposal in H R 8853 has distinct advantages because it makes a clearer break with the present complex system which vests in the Department of Housing and Urban Development the detailed decision-makin- g supervision and which is properly the role of responsible elected officials. These officials shoud clearly be in charge of managing the federal funds flowing to communities, and the incentives as well as the responsibility for getting effective results will lie with those closest to the people and the problem. Realtor Hovde noted that, while the Association approves the vesting in state and metropolitan housing agencies the power of decision as to the location, types, and numbers of subsidized housing projects, we are opposed to using federal funds to help spawn and nurture state and metropolitan development agencies which could exercise very broad powers in the field of real estate development and management.
