- . India Faces i Competition i In Textiles | JfIOMBAY, T’P —lndia is cluing the decks for a head-on clasl|ohis Xeajf with competitors InlKthe World’s textile markets. ||i i J|ipan will be the primaryC&jmjjetltor, with Britain second||wid Western European countries ralso -th pe picture.. ’ . |||A'‘. Ih all th^se; countries is kaid to have reached prewar and they are reported £0 be making strong bids to recaipture markets they controlled In piwWar yealrs and which became Itinlij’s ■ post-war mainstay. j| 7 Tjhe latest Atep in the direilion Os further fostering the coumry’s expert trade came in the forin of a dharp reduction \in the export •duty on cloth. Early this government announced a d 5 percent ad valorem inf port duty on textiles, bringing tfie current duty to 10 percent. Mill magnets made a forinii plea on behalf of the trade and industry to abolish totally th Export tax arid also to (the, Jiurden of other domestic tj xea. which,, in their various f<i ms, amount to nearly 2% cents 1 per yards of clotih produced. 1 | Raw Material Advantage * maintained these te ded to make Indian oloth more eift&nsive to customers, and, th ugh they served a purpose couhtry was in a sellers’ the,i times had changed. A|jhi|Jt they got partial relief*d,nd further concessions ate expected.’ if, the-situation should warrant. § It is recognized by the trad.eSarid industry that the, going wil|~be tough because, although lndia|has its raw material it its manufacturing disaiftrapi:gtl|hls country Is in the fayot|ii>la

position of growing most of its short staple cotton requirements which form by far the largest proportion of the raw material used in the production of export varie ties of cloth. These varieties largely are coarse and medium. ’ Customer countries mostly are those ip southeast the Middle East andj Africa—and also key areas wheye Japan and the United Kingdom are concentrating their marketing attention. The chief disadvantage lies in (the fact that India’s mahufactur--|rig costs are still relatively higher, j This is mainly due tq the inefficiency of labor, old type of machinery in use and high costs of new machinery for replacement which must be imported, and for which delivery dates are distant. ,\in the competitor countries renovated machinery and more modem production techniques with attendant labor-saving devices have helped to cut production costs. \ India’s export target figure for 1953 Trade experts foresee a keen trade war and agree that the year will see better cloth at cheaper prices to the consumer. a I Mitten Traffic OMAHA. Neb.. UP — Safety patrol.boys at Holy Ghost school here are wearing dual-purpoee-mittens this year. The mittens not only keep hands warm but also serve as £top signs when held up. They feature a large yellow and block shield shaped like \ the conventional stop sign. ! .i 1 y.. Still Champion HASTINGS. Neb.. A Hastings motorist reported he saw a truck which carried./ this written sign as a w-arning to cars traveling behind: “This truck has been In eight accidents, and hasn't one of them.” Property losses in the Kansas 'River flood of July. w<?re nearly a third as much as all * American flood lossfts from 1902 to 1949.
