116 SOCIAL SCIENTIST
The Foreword by Renato Gonstantino, the noted Filipino economist, needs special mention. It clearly brings into focus the immediate relevance of Tsuda's ongoing research on Japanese investments abroad. Gonstantino quotes the example of the Philippine Sinter Corporation, which was 'supposedly5 set up by the Japanese investing firm of Kawasaki in order to 'strengthen Filipino heavy industry3 but which however exported the problem of pollution to Philippines from Ghiba, Japan, where Kawasaki's operations have already claimed scores of lives by their heavy pollution o-f the atmosphere. This clearly demonstrates that Herman Kahn's warning about the future dangers of Japanese expansionism have already become issues of the present.
