- June Foreigners Observations on Early Imperial Steel Works, Yawata There were some differences between foreigners and Japanese about observations of early Imperial Steel Works, Yawata, first modern integrated steel works, built in 1901. Why such differences happened? Foreigners almost approred that Japan could build new integrated steel works, although Japan had not enough modern steel making technology. But Japanese newspapers and members of Imperial Diet relentlessly criticized the incomplete technology, because Yawata showed them unskilled operations at Yawata opening ceremony. And they blamed president of Imperial steel works for the inadequate finance because of the budget execution without the Diet approval. While Yawata was building, Japanese government had some plans to build the steel works at Kure Navy Arsenal, Hiroshima Prefecture, where they planed to make armor plate and gun. Members of Diet opposed that plan, meaning the double investment plan when Japanese Government fell into strict finance constraint due to military expansion. Navy authorities, therefore, invited members of Imperial Diet to Kure, catching the opportunity that the members visited Yawata to attend the opening ceremony of Imperial Steel Works. Navy authorities showed them the operations and the shooting test at Kure with a careful plan and persuaded them to consent to the steel works building budget. As a result of Navy maneuver, Navy could obtain their consent to the steel works budget, but early Yawata had kept bad reputations for a long time. NAGASHIMA, Osamu
