THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION As a result of the fulfillment of the Three-Year National Reconstruc tion Plan ahead of 'schedule and the overful_fillment of the 1949 Economic Plan, the national reconstruction has been virtually completed. In 1949 the'per capita production of large- and medium-size factories was 246 per- cent of prewar; per capita agricultural production was 122 percent of pre- war: and per capita national income was 175 percent of prewar. Indust The production in value of socialized industry will be 20,500,000,000 zlotys at base-year prices, or 21.9 percent over 1949. The value of pro- duction for large- and medium-si.ze socialized industry will increase 17.7 percent, and for small socialized industries 66.7 percent over 1949. The value of industrial production for plants under the individual ministries will increase as follows: Ministry Mining Heavy Industry Light Industry .rnmaatic Trade` Navigation Agriculture and Food Products CONFI[i N IM STATE ARMY Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/17: CIA-RDP80-00809A000600340278-6 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/17: CIA-RDP80-00809A000600340278-6 1 COHEIDtiH~lal CONF'IDENT'IAL Increases in production for the principal categories of socialized in- dustry will be as follows: tr d Percent y us In 8.4 Electric power 3.2 Black coal 0.5 Coke 5.9 Iron ores 10.7 Pig iron 9.0 Raw steel 13.9 Rolled products 4.4 Zinc 22.8 Standard-gauge locomotives 4.8 Freight cars 165.3 Trucks 43.3 Tractors Mining machines and installations,(in value) 18.8 Farm implements (in value) 3.5 Metal- and wood-working machine tools (in value) 30.4 ' 86.6 Shipp 50.7 Rotary engines 69.4 Radio receivers Portland and metallurgical cement 6.1 36.3 Brick and hollow tile 21.2 Sulfuric acid 18.2 Calcined soda 9.9 Caustic soda 2.0 Fitrogen fertilizers 26.2 Phosphate fertilizers (P205) 6.7 Cotton textiles 6.7 Woolen textiles 17.5 Linen textiles CONFIDENTIAL Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/17: CIA-RDP80-00809A000600340278-6 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/17: CIA-RDP80-00809A000600340278-6 COt~ Ili I~T!M.
