industry, we aim at securing, in the second half of 1946, an overall production for export a little in excess of the quantity exported in 1958. For example, we aim at increasing the percentage of civilian output devoted to export, as compared with 1935, from 16 per cent to 50 per cent in private motor cars, from 35 per cent to 60 per cent in bicycles, from 21 per cent to 40 per cent in electrical machinery, and from 55 per cent to 67 per cent in grain milling machinery. For most machinery classes prospects are quite promising, although for the time being the growth of important export work is being held back by the shortage of draughtsmen, etc.
