When Harchand Singh Longowal placed his signature alongside that of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on Wednesday on the accord to end the three-year Sikh confrontation with the Indian Government, many here saw it as an improbable triumph for an unlikely politician.

International Japan's relaxed foreign-trade rules approved by the Government Friday may do little to shrink the large and growing trade imbalance between the United States and Japan, details of the measures published in Japan indicate.

[Page A1, Column 6.] Peru's foreign debt payments will be cut back over the next 12 months to 10 percent of its export earnings while it seeks renegotiation of its $14 billion foreign debt, President Alan Garcia Perez announced in his inaugural address.
