Reference Para 3 my No. 373 of 7th November to LFSES. CSE.
RMINDIA, TROOPERS.
Para One. Political conditions around us are very disturbed,
with much unrest, inflation and unemployment, including threatened
strikes in Shanghai and elsewhere. So far we have managed to stave
off any serious labour trouble but we may not be able to continue
to do so unless constructive measures are devised to meet our
large and increasing unemployment problem.
Para Two. One solution is the revival of some of our many
factories which formerly employed 70,000 persons and manufactured
a wide variety of products, including cotton textiles, rubber
shoes, metalware, etc.
Parc Three. Preliminary survey of the problem indicates
for instance that the provision of 3,500 tons of yarn for the
first six months would enable 50 factories to operate on a
reasonable scale for the next six months. Their finished products
would not only meet the whole of our demand for Singlets, shirts etc, but would leave about 80 percent of the total production for
export to meet our commitments to other Far Eastern destination.
