Greek Industries Run at High Speed Yet Output Lags
In Greece ninety percent of prewar industries are operating but only a few of the five thousand plants have reached prewar production. Rexinaldyl Gilmor of New York, director of the Industry division of the American Mission for aid to Greece, says rayon, aluminum, copper output has jumped to 233, 450 and 129 percent of 1939. Glassware, sheet glass, drugs and cigarettes exceed prewar production at 145, 105 and 120 percent. Cigar industry shows activity but most industries cannot revise standards due to war occupation and shortages of spare parts equipment and raw materials. Mining fares worse due to deterioration and military damage, with guerrilla actions hindering restoration.
