Cotton Textile Operations
Expected 10 Set Records
srec. Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. April 11-Substan-
tial Government orders and heavy
civilian demand are expected to hold
textile operations at capacity during
1912. according to a survey released
by Standard g. Poor's Corp. Cotton
textiles are expected to exceed the
record operations of l941.
Restrictions on the use of new
wool for civilian consumption will
restrict production gains in that di-
vision, while chemical shortages and
increased output of finer deniers
may lower rayon output somewhat.
Profit margins will probably shrink
because of increased costs and the
imminence of new and lower price
ceilings, but larger volume should
result in moderate operating income
gains. The increase in income taxes,
however, will cut down final earn
ingS.
Textile activity, as measured by
fiber consumption, showed a year.
to-year gain of about II per cent in
the first quarter of this year. The
rise was due solely to the increase
in cotton and rayon consumption,
wool consumption being down be-
cause of restrictions on the use Of
new wool.

ShipbuiIding Now Regarded
As Critical boftIeneck
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE bat.
tie of production at home has taken
new turn, says Business Week in
its analysis of the business outlook
today.
Now shipbuilding is the critical
bottleneck-an indication OF how
the war, itself. Is the ultimate ar.
bitter Of what happens to American
business.
After the fall Of France the pro-
duction emphasis was on planes.
Then, when Germany launched it's
1910 sea offensive, the emphasis
turned to ships. During the battle
of Russia the demand shifted to
tanks. Then, after Pearl Harbor,
planes once more got first call-and
primarily, bombers, which could be
flown to the Pacific battle front.
But today the need is to get ar
mament to the men at the front.
And cargo ships have taken an
ALA priority rating in terms Of
strategical necessity.
The reason is fairly clear, the
magazine states. Since the out
break of the war the United Ma
tions have lost more shipping than
they have produced. And what
makes matters worse, lines of COM
munications have heightened. What
formerly took one ton of shipping,
now often takes three of four tons,
particularly since vessels have to
travel in slow-moving conveys.
The net result is that today our
shipping and shipbuilding are far
short of requirements, and hence
forth the War Production Board
increasingly will put pressure on
shipyards and suppliers to speed
output.
