Billion and Half Plan
To Expand Industry
In Philippines Urged
By the Associated Press

MANILA, Sept. IA S1.588, ,000,-
600 program of industrial expansion
for the Philippines during the next
IS years to give the young republic
an outlet into Asia's vast markets
has been recommended to President
Roxas by an American firm of con-
sulting engineers.
The K. I. Beyster Corp. of De-
troit prepared a 162-page report
which screened Philippine resources
and industrial potentials and out
lined a program of industrialization
ranging from iron, steel and copper
mills to chemical and textile plants
and supplementary projects.
The report observed that the
United States was faced with "the
gigantic task of meeting domestic
and world material demands" and
that 'it will be some time before
American capital will take advan-
tage of the equal rights granted it
by the Philippine Trade Act"
The report suggested that the
Philippines should be able to "estab-
lish an industrial system with an
aim of exporting into markets for
merly enjoyed by the Japanese
providing japanese trade is re-
stricted. 1t said that to maintain
the markets, Philippine industrial
efficiency would have to have
reached its peak by the time indus
tries of Japan, China and Aus
tralia were making themselves felt.
The report outlined a fve-year
short-range program of Industrial
ization which would involve expen-
diture of $250,000,000. 1t would be
based on Japanese reparations,
equipment and investment in new
industries.
Recommended in the report was
creation of a national economic
council which would take over the
functions of agencies now under
political control.
