Mr. Ivianager, Public Relations

Dear SIR:
We take the liberty of addressing you this letter for the purpose to
ask you for your kind cooperation in our efforts to gather as much
of concrete dat8. as possible regarding the so-called "Public Relations"
in your country.
The PR movement in Japan has recently been started by certain business
firms as well as by the government offices. We regret, however, that
we lack literature and other necessary information on this subject.
We are much interested in to know how your company thinks of this movemento We understand that a great business establishment like yours
has already had a long eArperience along this line of worko Should there
be any records, data, pamphlets, booklets, and the like available to us,
we should like to have them at your earliest convenience.

A couple of our company's top officials have just left here for the u.

s.A. in order to grasp the gist of your advanced arts and techniques,
including that of this comparatively new and yet very important activity there. They may not be able to bring back with them all the data
and dopes that we a.re anticipating on account of lack of time and of
insufficiency in language.
It is,therefore, our sincere hope that you would be so good as to give
us your kind comments and suggestions regarding this problem in general,
and that you would also see it to forward us some of your PR publications if such are available to us.
We are sending you under separate cover a copy of our pamphlet, entitled "Mitsui Mining Company and Its Principal Enterprises With a Brief
Historical Sketch.n We shall be much pleased if you will accept this
for us.
i'le

remain,

Very cordially. yours,

Mr. I. "N. Bayless, President
The Union Pacific Coal Company
1416 Dodge Street
Omaha, Nebraska
Dear Mr. Bayless:
'tte had an interesting visit on Friday from Mr. Tenta.
Aso, Managing Director, Aso Coal Mining Co. Ltd., of Japan,
i,rho is in this country studying American mining methods. While
his mine apparently works on longl·rall, he is particularly
interested in using Duckbills for entry driving. Apparently
he has some side pitch just as you do.
He is going to be in Denver in about a week and would
very much like to visit one or more of your mines from Rook
Springs. You have been so cooperative in the matter of these
visitors in the past that we feel no hesitation in asking if
you would again be kind enough to permit this young man to see
some of your fine installations.
If this is agreeable, would you be good enough to let
us know immediately and advise if we should give him a letter
of introduction to Mr. Livingston or some other official
designated by yourself?
With kindest regards.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Lionel Farr
Sales Engineer

Rock Springs, Wyoming, U. S. Ao
Dear Sir:

Referring to your esteemed letter of September 20
last year, I wish to call your attention of our humble request
concerning Mro Haruo Uryu s proposed trip abroado
1

We acknowledge with many, many thanks the receipt of
your kind letter of invitation to him
With this and all the
others received from the U. s. A. and also from Europe, he was
submitting his formal application for the authorizs.t1on of his
proposed trip to both the Japanese Government Authorities concerned and the GHQ, SCAPa Fortunately his application was
finally granted toward the end o:t· last year, much sooner than
he was expecting. We wish to thank you very much for. your great
help regarding this matter.
0

After some tedious procedures were taken in the meantime for the clearance of visas and transit visas as well, the
itinerary of his trip has just been completedo It includes the
inspection tour of roughly 45 days in the u. s. A. and that of
about the same number of . days in Europeo
He 1s expecting to leave Tokyo on February 4 next for
Honolulu, Los Angeles, San .!!'rancisco, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit,
Columbus, Pittsburgh, Washington, D. Co, New York; tnen ~o proceed to England, France, Western Germany, Switzerland, Italy;
and to come back home via air ways.
Dµe to the fact that his schedule is thus heavily .
loaded, with too many kind invitations received, _he has recently come to a conclusion that he has to give up his hope of visiting you in person this time, which we all feel very sorry about
In addition, the section of your country had been hit several
times so far this winter by severe bli1,zards accompanied by subzero temperature, so we were informed. This time of the year
therefore, may not be suitable for him to visit your place, nor
for you to be called upon by himo

It is, however, our sincere hope that, since several

of these gentlemen at your mines or plantso

We, all the staff and employees of tne company, unite
in sending you our very best regards, and may your company have

Dear Sir:
','i e wish to take the liberty of a ddressin this letter
to you for the purpose of introducin:s one of our company's most
outstanding staff and experienced mining engineers, Mr. Masao

1HYAM0T0.
liT . Miyamoto is a graduate of Hokkaido Imperial University majoring in mining, and after t aking various res ponsible
positions in our company for about 20 years, he is at present
Chief Engineer, Ashibetsu Coal Mine, Hold&lt;aido.

With a view to facilitatin g the reconstruction of
Japanese economy, we have always been trying our all-out efforts
to produce as much of coal as possible since the termination of
hostilities in 1945. 1n order to do this we have already sent
a certain number of men to the U.3. A. as well as to other countries of the world to make them inspect the gist of advanced
arts and techniques abroad.
He has recently read about your modern mine (1) and
wishes to visit it if you kindly allow him to do so. Since none
of our men who made their trips before vi sited there, we are
planning to have· him inspect your mine. Provided that the present Korean war situation remains as it is now and nothing else
happens in the mean time, he v1 ill be authorized to make his trip
to the U.S. A. this fall or toward the end o.f t his year at the
l a test.

�Mr. H. C. Livin~ston
