Japanese Government had employed a policy of partially restricting the entry of the South African national. This policy had been adopt-ed after the time of the Moscow Conference, in accordance with the recommendation of the United Nations.

Decision of holding the International Confer-ence in Japan was then left to the hand of the President of the International Society, with consideration of an improvement of atti-tude of the Japanese Government. Effort madę by the Japanese members, in particular by Professor M. Fukuoka, and also by officers of the International Society, however, proved ineffective in trying to alter the policy of the Japanese Government. Finally, in the mid-dle of July 1975, the President madę the decision to hołd the Tokyo Conference, based on results of the vote by letters. This was a great relief to all of the members concerned. The Japanese Government has altered its policy in July 1976 and removed all restrictions for the South Africans' entry into Japan.

Problem of how to raise necessary funds for the Conference has been one of the major points of discussion sińce the time of the Preparatory Committee. The world wide ' oil crisis' put an additional burden on the fi-nancing business. Through a series of consul-tation with influential persons of both gov-ernment and industries, the Japanese National Committee appointed the Fund Raising Committee in June 1976 with the chairmanship of Mr. M. Maeda. The chairmanship of this committee was later succeeded by Mr. T. Atsumi.

In August 1976, the Japanese Government decid-ed, at the reąuest of the Japanese National Committee, that the Tokyo Conference be spon-sored by the Science Council of Japan and the Japanese Society of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. Accordingly, the Organiz-ing Committee for the Tokyo Conference was slightly altered in September 1976.

Through the course of preparational works for the Conference, members of the Conference Advisory Committee had continued to maintain its correspondences. In particular, the Sec-retary General of the International Society Professor J.K.T.L. Nash, visited Tokyo several times for close discussions with the Japanese members in January of 1974, June of 1975, July of 1976 and April of 1977.

Bulletin No. 1 containing the preliminary Information for the Conference was published in May 1975.    10,000 copies were printed and

despatched to the National Committees with the request that they be distributed to their members. A preliminary application form was attached to each copy of Bulletin No. 1.

Special Bulletin No. 1 was issued in September 1975, giving specific instructions regarding the submission of papers. Special Bulletin No. 2 was issued in February 1976 and gave the details of the twelve Specialty Sessions.

5,500 copies each of these Special Bulletins une motion qui risquait d'annuler le Congres de Tokyo fut adoptśe. Cette motion etait due au fait que le Gouvernement Japonais appli-quait une politique restreignant 1'entrśe des ressortissants Sud-Africains. Cette politique avait ete adoptee apres le Congres de Moscou, suivant les recommandations des Nations Unieś.

La decision de tenir le Congrds International au Japon etait alors laissee 3 l'initiative du Prśsident de la SociŚt# Internationale en fonction de 1'amelioration de 1'attitude du Gouvernement Japonais. De grands efforts de membres Japonais, en particulier du Profes-seur M. Fukuoka, ainsi que des officiels de la Societe Internationale n'ont cependant pas eu pour effet de modifier la politique du Gouvernement Japonais. Finalement, 3 la mi-juillet 1975, le Prśsident, en fonction des rśsultats d'un vote par correspondance, prenait la dścision de tenir le Congres de Tokyo. Ce fut un grand soulagement pour tous les membres concernes. Le Gouvernement Japonais modifia sa politique en juillet 1976 et supprima toute restriction 3 1’entrśe au Japon des ressortissants Sud-Africains.

Le moyen de rassembler les fonds nścessaires pour le Congres a §t§ l'un des points majeurs de la discussion d&s les rśunions du Comitś Prśparatoire. La crise mondiale du pótrole a ajoutś un fardeau supplśmentaire au probleme du financement. A la suitę d' une sdrie de consultations avec les personnes influentes du gouvernement et de 1'industrie, le Comitś National Japonais a nomme en juin 1976 un Comitś chargś du rassemblement des fonds sous la prśsidence de M. M. Maeda. La prśsidence de ce comitś a £tś plus tard reprise par M.

T. Atsumi.

En aout 1976, le Gouvernement Japonais dścida, a la demande du Comite National Japonais, que le Congrds de Tokyo serait parrainś par le Conseil Scientifique du Japon et par la Soci-€t£ Japonaise de Mócanique des Sols et des Travaux de Fondations. En cons£quence, le Comitś d'Organisation du Congrds de Tokyo fut lśgdrement modifić en septembre 1976.

Pendant tous les travaux prśparatoires du Congrds, les membres du Comite Consultatif du Congres ont ćchangś des correspondances. En particulier, le Secrśtaire G£n§ral de la So-ciśtś Internationale, le Professeur J.K.T.L. Nash, s'est rendu 3 Tokyo 5 plusieurs repri-ses, en janvier 1974, en juin 1975, en juillet 1976 et en avril 1977, pour des discussions approfondies avec des membres Japonais.
