Abstract: In retrospect, Japanese agricultural and fishery developments in Micronesia during the first half of the twentieth century are seen to have extended corollary benefits to the economic well being of its native peoples, which they no longer enjoy. It is still an academic question whether the stable native self-sufficient economy which has been restored to these islands under the American aegis is b_est satisfying native needs. Although a slow return of a cash economy has been permitted in the American Trust Territory of the Pacific, it shows little of the vigor and potential of the former Imperial economy.
