The Commission begins its annual meeting, in Bangalore tomorrow and Mr Dag Hammarskjoeld, United Nations Secretary-General, ls on his way there to attend it.
The survey showed that industrial production: con- tinued to rise in most counties of the region, with in creases varying from five to eight per cent over 1954 in Japan, India, and China, the countries where the region's industry is still largely concentrated.
