Prime Minister Ikeda
Satisfied with American
Trade Policy with Japan

TOKYO, (AP) - Japan's new prime minister, Hayato Ikeda, said today he is satisfied with American trade policy toward Japan.

Ikeda also ruled out any immediate new parliamentary elections in Japan and denied any intention of seeking revisions of the controversial U.S. - Japanese security treaty, two things demanded by the left-wing demonstrators who forced the resignation of his predecessor, Nobusuke Kishi.

The bespectacled, conservative Ikeda, who took office last week, expressed his deep regret for the violence which led to the cancellation of President Eisenhower's visit in June.
