There were marked dispar-
tiles among countries in the
levels of industrial and agri-
cultural production realized
in 1947, when compared to 49,
SO and 1887. The result is that
the geographic distribution of
the totalrvolume of goods pro-
duced in the world last year
was considerably different
from that of the prewar years.
In agriculture, the report adds,
the recovery of livestock pro-
ducts was far behind that Of
food and commercial crops.
World production in fuel &
energy Excluding the USSR)
during the first quarter of this
year was about one-third
above 1888. It reached only 90
percent in Europe but was
considerably higher in the rest
of the world, particularly in
the United States.
The production of steel lex
Guiding the Ussr) during 1947
approximately equaled that of
1887 and during the first quar-
ter of1948 was about ten per
cent above 1887. Copper and
zinc production in the first
quarter of 1913 exceeded pre-
war levels, but production of
lead and tin was below 80 per
cent Of prewar.
As measured by world ce-
ment production, construction
activity during the first three
months of 1913 was roughly at
prewar levels.
Textile production during
the first quarter of this year
was considerably above 1888
in a number of countries--for
example, Canada, Chile, Den

U.N. PRESS RELEASE
u. N. Surveys Wodds Economic Situation

~ tNs 0uIVSyS WOII0
The shortage of basic pro-
ducts in most countries, parti-I
cularly of foodStuffs, rising in
flationary pressures, and UNI
precedented deficits in the in
ternational commerce of most
countries are claer indications
of the unhealthy economic ST.
tuation facing the. world, a
report published here by UN's
Department of Economic AT
fairs indicates.
In a supplement to a World
Economic Report issued early
this year, the Department pre-
sents a statistical summary Of
the main features of recent
economic trends. A series of
tables and charts provides in
dices of industrial and agricul-
tural production, imports and
exports, trade balances, pri-
ces, wages, cost of living, en-
ployment and other aspects of
the present economic situation
of the world.
A statistical study of post
war conditions, compared with
1888, shows that although the
total production-of goods in
1947 was 10 to Is per cent
above 1888, the volume of
world trade was below pre-
war level and Jagged behind
production. In particular, agri-
cultural production was below
pre-war levels, while industri-
al production was up almost
Is per cent.
World exports for 1947 al
most reached the 1888 level
but were only 80 per cent of
the1937 trade and declined
during the first quarter Of 10
48 to SO percent of 1888 and be
low IS percent of 1887.

more than the previous year.
The added personnel was
made possible through the adj
dition of the Child Welfare Di-
vision who were paid by grant
maid funds. Because of the
lack of office space, this divi-
sion to be housed in three
rooms in the Fort. This divi-
sion of offices is not satisfac-
tory but it is the best that can
be found at the present. With
the present setup greater ser
vice was possible to the child
rem and the aged than in pre-
vious years.
The outstanding gains made
during the past year in social
service work were the sstah-
! ilshment of the Child Welfare
/, Division and the unification Of
the Departments of st. Tho
mas and st. John with that of
st. Croix. This singleness of
| purpose and effort is main
~ instrumental in bringing
before the people the need of
welfare services in tn COM
munity. This service is as nee
cessary as the other govern
mental services now in exist
ence.
The Child Welfare Division
is playing a great part in the
child life of the community
and it fails only in SO far that
! the funds at its disposal are in
deed limited, in fact, most in
adequate for present needs.
The amount of aid to the
| aged and physically handicap
ped remained the same as that
of the previous year. This is
again a matter of too little
funds. The demand for assis-
lance was more than the pre-
vious year. This is again a
matter of too little funds. The
demand for assistance was

World production of motor
vehicles Excluding the USSR)
during the first quarter of this
years equalled the 1887 rate of
production, but there was a
significant shift from passen-
ger to commercial vehicle pro-
duction during 1947 as COM
pared to 1887, particularly in.
the United Kingdom, France
and Canada.
There were wide differences
among countries in the recov-
cry of export trade during 10
AZ. The volume of exports of
the United States reached a
peak in the first half Of last
year about two-and-one half
times that of 1898; the United
Kingdom exports were is per
cent above 1888 for the last
half of 1947. But excluding
these two countries, exports
were considerably below the
1888 level.
The report adds that loans
and grants of all types from
the end of the war through
May l948 reached a total eqi-
valent to at least $4,000 million
U. S. dollars. Almost four
fifths of this total were direct
loans and grants by govern
ments. And about 70 percent
of the total from all sources
other than U.N.'s 1nternation-
al Bank and the international
Monetary Fund was provided
by the United States; the Unit
ed Kingdom and Canada ac-
counted for most of the ba-
lance.
Although the rise in prices
during 1916 and 1947 showed
little, if any, indications of
slowing down in most coun-
tries the report ends declaring
that there were slight indica-
tons of a possible slackening
