Mr. We stated that satisfactory reports have been received from all factories showing profits in their balance sheets, particularly the Cement Works which earned a nett profit of over $2.000.000 last Year and the Sugar Factorles whose profits for the last half year are reported to have exceed- ed $3,000,000,
THE BIG FACTORIES According to Mr. Wu, the big profits of these Government fac- tories are not entirely due to the operation of monopoly. although monopoly has helped a great way towards development of industries here. He pointed out that the
cost of native sugar is far below that of imported sugar and conse- quently there is greater demand and more business for the Govern- ment factories.
Mr. Wu further stated that the
Provincial Iron and Steel Works is expected to be completed in three years and all possible efforts have been put forth to discover izan deposits.
