NEW YORK—(XPi—A sharp rise in
general production costs as a re-
sult of the speeding up of national
preparation will be unavoidable, ac-
cording to 225 nut of 300 leading
industrialists polled by the national
industrial conference board, it was
announced Saturday.
Most of the executives questioned
said the relatively small cost in-
creases in the past year are unre-
liable indicators of what may be
expected to be accompanied by
higher wage rates, particularly for
skilled labor, increased material
costs and, of course a rising tax
burden."
Less than half of the industrialists
said moderate advance* in produc-
tion costs have already occurred,
due in large part to rising material
costs.
The conference board is a research
organization supported chiefly
large industries.

years. Most of the improvements
consist of warehouses and docking

While the total tonnage handled
at the port was only 140.176 tons
during 1939, all indications now
point to better than 250.000 tons for
this year. The first six months of
1940 shows a total of 197.057 tons
handled, which is considerably more
than all of last year.
