years.
In 1949, five times more refined lead and three times more sulfuric acid
was produced per consumer than in 1939.
Celje, 19 March Today, Franc Leskosek, Minister of Heavy Industry in the
federal government, announced that Yugoslavia produced 12,100,000 tons of coal in
1949, as compared to 6 million in 1939. In 1949, Yugoslavia produced 62,600 tons
of petroleum. Prewar investments in construction amounted to 13 billion dinars
and 1949 investments amounted to 40,500,000,000 dinars. The 1950 plan calls for
45,700,000,000 dinars for construction investments.
Industrial production in 1947 was 67 percent greater than in 1939; in 1948
it was 157 percent greater, and in 1949, 204 percent greater than in 1939.
Yugoslavia produced 191,159 carloads of wheat in 1946 and 269,800 carloads
in 1949; 175,580 carloads of corn in 1946 and 499,200 carloads in 1949; and 17,250
carloads of rice in 1946 and 36,260 carloads in 1949. The production of wheat in
Slovenia rose from 5,268 carloads in 1946 to 6,827 carloads in 19497, and the
