Low Output, Inflation
Peril Indian Economy,
Top Industrialist Says
By Phillips Talbot
Foreign Corr«pond«nt of The Star and
the Chicago Daily News
BOMBAY, India, Aug. 28.—Owing
to reduced industrial production and
rising prices, India 'is skidding to
ward an economic crisis “of the first
magnitude” according to J. R. D.
Tata.
The chairman of the gigantic Tata
Industrial empire, largest in India,
addressed an annual meeting of the
Tata Iron & Steel Co. late yesterday.
Mr. Tata listed labor disturbances
snd “the damaging effects of heavy
taxation imported in the last budget
on industrial expansion and busi
ness activities in general” as the
main causes for industrial setbacks
despite political independence.
Since prewar years, finished steel
production has dropped about one
quarter. Production of other key
items such as cloth, coal and sugar,
also has decreased seriously, he
declared.
At the same time the general price
index has nearly trebled while wages
and salaries have about doubled.
To prevent a major setback in the
national economy, Mr. Tata advised
the new central and provincial gov
ernments to “take firm and im
mediate steps to arrest the present
disastrous trends and re-establish
the country's agricultural and in
dustrial productivity.
Mr. Tata’s report, which is im
portant because his company con
trols the largest iron and steel works
in the British Empire, reflects the
gloomy forecasts issued recently by!
the Reserve Bank of India and
other agencies.
All seem to feel that the infant!
national governments will quickly be
faced with an economic storm unless
Immediate steps are taken to curb
inflation and reduced production.
Potatoes and petunias are mem
bers of the same plant family.

Food in Small Cans
To Be Available Again
Sy the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Small cans
of food containing one or two serv
ings will be back in grocery stores
this fall for the first time since
the war.
They will be available only in
limited quantities at first, and can
manufacturers said the rate at
which supplies improve will depend
on the tin plate situation. I
A number of canners see a ready
market for the small cans and are
reported to have ordered large quan
tities from manufacturers.
"If tin plate continues to be as
tight as it has been all this year,
lit is possible that next year may
not see 100 per cent fulfillment of
canners’ requirements for the small
cans,” one industry spokesman said.
Packing of most food in small
cans, containing 1 to l1-. cupfuls,
was eliminated by the Government
shortly after Pearl Harbor to con
serve tin and steel.
The most popular sized can al
Downstairs Bookstore
ways has betn the No. 2 type which
holds about 2V* cupfuls of food, and
that is the one used chiefly during
the war.
Chief complaints about the larger
sized cans come from .'mail families
or persons living alone who cannot
finish the larger portion tt one
meal and either have no facilities
for keeping leftovers or don't like
to keep small amounts for another
day.
