The table 4ndicates that averages manthly coal Extraction has tripled Cic~
compared with prewar years, The production of glass has also tripled. Pfoduction
of cement is up nearly 8 percent. Electric paver triples ~i~ 1ta prewar output.
The only weak points ere hard leather tend fertilizers, which lag behind their pre-
Thane PSguree are indicative of three thinge? 1) quick tempo oP industrial
development, 2) transition from a psedcminantly agricultural oconomy to oa~e in

and 212,000 miners.
tTith 100 as an index of total employment in 1938, the index for 1949 3e 142,
agrinulture excluded.
'The rise in purchasing power cf the xorking popu.ation reaultiIIg frpm groater
