NORTHEAST CHINA ADMINISTRATION REPORT ON ECONOMIC PLAN FOR FIRST HALF YEAR OF 1952 Ccomment; On 15 August 1952 the Economic Planning Committee of Northeast China published its economic planning administra- tion report for the first half year of 1952, giving percentages and figures of production. Highlights of industrial growth and technological development included: industrial production that exceeded the proposed plan, an Increase in production of raw materials and consumers goods, and conservation of rav materials, eg., industries conserved 400,000 tens of high- grade coal. The industries accepted the plan to conmerve 13,540,000 tons of food for this year. Plans for basic construction for the period were, for the most part, completed. The construc- tion work of the four great irrigation areas was completed, and 29,398 types cf new agricultural equipment were introduced to the public. There was an increase of 279,000 workers in the induatriesj Mukdon, 15 August (Hain-hua She) -- The economic plan administration re- port for the first half of the year 15o52 has been published by the Economic ^lanning Committee of Northeast Chinn. Details, figures; and ;zrcentagea were given showing industrial growth and technological deyP1,,..dent, basic construc- tion agricultural and water conservancy developmabc, transportation development, and the increase in the number of workers. A. Industrial Growth and Technological Improvement The government-owned and *ublicly owned industries completed 104.8 per- cent of the proposed economic pin for the first 6 months of 1952 and 50.4 per- cent of the proposed economic plan for the whole year. Their production ex- ceeded that of the same period of 1951 by 57.6 percent. The Department of In- dustry completed 105.4 percent of the total production proposed for the first 6 months.

This material exceeded that produced in the same period in 1951 by 61.3 percent. The total Production of consumer goods was 103,3 percent of the proposed plan. This production exceeded that of the same period in 1951 by 51.6 percent, The following commodities showed a percentage increase in production in the first half of 1952 compared with the same period of 1951: Production material: electrical power, 25.3 percent; coal excavation, 35; iron and steel, 69; machinery and parts, 96.8; chemical products, 95.4; construction materi;..,., 64.4; and lumber, 83.,9 percent. Consumer goods: woven goods, 58 percent; paper products, 97.5; cultural [kooks, writing equipment, etc] and art supplies, 187.1; soap and cosmetics, 195.7; and matches, 207.8 percent. Inspection and repair of equipment: The time spent in generating electricity in electrical power plants was shortened by approximately 33 to 64 percent. The time spent in inspection and repair of wire was shortened to 56.4 percent. Improvement of labor productivity: The machinery plants showed that the rate of labor productivity was increased 14.3 percent, as compared with the same period in 1951. The production of cotton thread was increased by an average of 17.7 percent per spindle, and the production of cotton fabric was increased by an average of 9 percent per loom. Conservation of raw materials: By using low-grade coal to generate electric power, the industries conserved 400,000 tons of high-grade coal this year. By using reclaimed rubber, the industries conserved 8.3 percent of rubber used for the latter half of the year. The rate of oi.l extraction from =-,;b-cars rose from this year's fixed rate of 10.5 to 14.04 percent; and the average ratio of oil extraction was 12 percent, which indicated an increase of 1,500 tons of oil for each 100,000 tons of soybeans- Products from meche.iical, paper, soap, and rubber shoes industries and the quality of matches, chinaware, and other daily products need improvement.
