Tokyo, Jan. 7. Well-informed observers tonight predicted economic crisis in Japan shortly unless the Government takes drastic measures to remedy the situation.

Government officials, ́including the Prime Minister, Shigeru Yoshida, and the Bank of Japan Governor, Hisato Ichimada, discount the possibility of a business collapse and claim that the financial situation is being kept under control.

All quarters agree, however, that Japan's economy will be too shaky this year to permit Japanese rearmament at the pace desired by the United States.
