I. TEXTILE. IiroUSTSY IN .THE, milTSI) KING-DOM A. Textile Industry in the Manufact-grin;^ System of the Cor-ntry.

Since remote times the United Kini-^dom has held and still retains the leading -position in the world's textile production and trade,

1, The relative importance of the Textile Industry in the economic structure of the United Ki:v;:doiii ir- host illustrr.ted by:

(a) The Voluae of enTPloyiiipnt , which ajnountcd to 7,4 per cent in 1911 and 6,2 per cent in 1931 of the total number

of gainfully occupied persons in the United Kingdom; the Textile Indus t?:'y being second' to only the me tal-inr chines group v/hen laeasurod 'o'j vol-;i::ie oi enplo;\'Tacnt.

(b) Its prodi^ctive capa.city, which i;-; a.^i?roxi..iately onc~third of the '■'orld*': total in nuixiber oi sPindles and one-fifth of the number of loovis in the cotton branch - the most important section of inJ.ustry,

(c) Its place in foreign tr8-de_ - where the value of Imported textile goo./.s avera._,ed, during 19?0-1933, 17.1 per cent of the tota.l va.lue of British imports. Textile exports amoimted to 36,5 per cent of the value of total British exports for the same period,

2. The cotton and woolen branches^ are^ the most important of the textile trades in Great Sritain, they absorb roi^^ghly t',70-thirds of the total volu^n^ of employment in the Textile

9643

Industry and c: iitniQute ap;ca'oxl>riitol_; fjjp^ of th.o total value of th? British foreign trado in textiles.

lUn^^land Ao'-onds uoon the i.:.v;ortcd ra^; toxtilo: h>itorial_s in all textile trades either entirely" as in the case of cotton, sil-z, jute and hemp or ^reeriiinently as in the case t f the vroel industry where the home grown wool fills 8 per cent onl;" of the total need < i the British Wool Indvistry.

" '■^"« T^. British iiTi'ports of toxtiles consist mainly of rav; materials which avcra-^'ied 7J per r-.ent ci total textile imports durinf^ 1'32(' to 1933; and ex^.-.orts, i.iainly of piece ir;oods. Piece ;.;oods avoraced 83 per cent of all textile exports for the period 19.30 to 1933 and yams 13.7 per cent.

* I-jL. the most irai^ortant branch of the British Textile Industry - the oottc n trad-: - since the 'War about tvo-thirds rf the total output of ;. arnn and oTor six-soYonths cf the output of fabrics has been proc'ucf^d for e:r:'ort,

The v>rinci::3al C'.'TJj.itrios exfortintr; cotton to Sn;;:land are the United States and Egj'^ot wJ-ch nu:ply abr^it three-fciu'ths ('f the total raw cotton censutned in Great Britain, Jibout four-fifths cf the British consiamption of rav^-- v/ocl j.s iinported from the British Dominions (Australia, Kev/ Zealand, Seuth Africa ano British Inoia) .

The British exoorts in both tnose branches lia.ve a,lways been vorld-wide.

9643

-3- . ..

B, Organization oi" the British Textile Industry.

1 . The British Textile Industry in almoct all its "branches is hi^'hly sectionali/.cd an^. is lackin,-?; in industrial inte.'u-a-ti on. Firms of different types and of varyin;'^ sizes exist in the Cotton Inc'ustry of 5n{;^land. The outntancin^., ciiaractcrictic of her vool incustry is the prevalence of the snie.ll unit. T^^^o sections of the Textile Industry, however - the finishing trades and the rayon "branch - are highly concentrated and represent strong monopolies.

2. The labor conditions in tlie British Textile Industry are not subject to any statutory regulations. The normal hours of v^orlc prescri'Dcd "by the Ifetional Agreer.ient of t:ic incur. try anr la,hor in 1919 were forty-^ight hoi:)Ts per veek. After many attempts h" the manufacturers to exten>: the y;orking time to fifty-tivo and one half hours weekly d-u-ring 1938-1952, the original noriiial v/eek of forty- eight hours was restored "by the National Agreement and is still in force.

5, No multiple shift syc-tem is allov^ed in Lancashire - a very small group of the employers, no^'ever, ( vomon and jiuiiors- total momber about 20,000 persons) is ^-'orking in the rayon industry on a tvra shift "basis,

4. There are numerous cartels , ''agreements" a,nd "understandings" among the British textile manufacturers in almost all nections of the industry. All those organizations, ho^-evor, are i^rominently ■unsta"ble and inef Tic lent, due to (a) the high sectionalization of the industry (b) the ^"ide diversity of the -uiiits and (c) the

964

4'-

partial character of the or£;aiiizations. Hence, v-ith the except ion of the vertically intei23:"a-teG. and actrrJly nonopolir.tic finishing and ra^on trades the British Textile Industry as a wliole still remains substantially competitive,

5. The price moveinents in the British textiles perfectly coincide with the trends traceable in the chan.:';es of the foreign trade of Lancashire, in the vol-ume of employment a.nd in the state of the industrial equipment employed in the post-v.-ar period. After the boom ~ the p r i c^ £ boom of 1930 - there follo^ved a decline in textile prices vith a s^^ia.rp drop after 1933; after the slif^ht detention of the decline under the influence of the 1930-1929 industrial boom th^ fall in T>rices of textile goods v;as precipitate jand uninterrupted -ontil 196 ';. The coiurse of price trends in textiles v/as not identical. As an illustration prices in jute and hemp branchec vary .._,reatly v.'h-/.i comparei ^Ith thc^^e of cotton, wool and linen.

C , Government and Or;":ani2ed Industry Llcasures Relatin-; to the Textile Industry.

1, A protective policy started in England in 1913 and v/as finally a.dopted in 1933, The restriction of- imports by the pro- tective tariffs, ho^-ever, could not influence materially the imports of textiles, since three-fourths of the imported textiles v/ere rav/ materials, also the imported semi-finished a,nd finished textile goods did not cor.ipete directly with t.-e Lancashire industry.

9643

2. The preferential tarifr a.ri-anf;eiTirntG adopted in 1933 (Ottav/a Conference) were, accordi:i,_; to tne prevailing opinion amon^ British maniifacturers, more "beneficial to the Dorainions than to England, though the voliaine of biisiness '-ithin the Empire in 1933 increased slij,htly, vdiile the trade of England v/ith the Foreign cowitries v/as still in recession. In 1934 the grov/th of the Imperial trade ?;as more rapid than that vdth foreign countries,

3. The artificial silk section is the onl';^ branch of the Textile Industry in the United Kin/^-dom re^^^lated by the mighty international cartel. In this Co^ortauld Company has been from the start one of the most influencial pe.rticipants. Courtauld Company controls over foiir-fifthr: of the rayon production of the United Kingdom. The loc.'.; of vertical integration and of cartelliza- tion on a national scale in all other textile brcinches prevents a possibility of international industrial agreements,

4. The restoration of t'/ie gold stande-rd in England in 192.3 aggravated raarkedly the conditions of foreign trade in the Textile Industry ano. v/as consic.ered to be a po^"'erful faxtor a.t that critical moment by the Lancashire manufn.cturers. The desertion of the gold standard in 1931 did not act as a stimulus to expansion of foreign tra,de, since the other countries fol~ lo^-'ed England in devaluiition of their currencies a.nC the chief British competitor - Japan- depreciated her yen still more and

9643

•o-

became an even greater competitor than "before. Thiir;, the temporary "benefits from depreciation vere soon earjil;- destroyed "by counter- attacks,

6 . Amonp^ the measures intendec'. to adjust 'oroduction to demand , besides the establishet'. normal vrorhin,;; \7eej: of 43 hoijrs (See B-3) and the one-shif t-ivystem principle ( See 3-5) there were nunberless attempts in the United Kin^idom to regulate Industry through the cuota agreements, price fixing, terms of sale and minimun price "arrangements. ' Ho'-ever, none of these attempts could justify the e:oectations, and the cartels altho-'jgh created under the "oressure of a most dire necesrrity could not exist ^.'ue to the high dispersion, extreme sectionalism e.nC. '-;ide diversit^^ of the business unitL within the industry.

6. The most recent a.nc. fc.r rec?iching measiu'e of the adjustment of production to demand in the Unitec. I:in^,dom is the planned scrapping of 10,000,000 spindles by the Cotton Industry ^-'ith compensation for the scra-pped ( and sealed) spindles. This plan is still in need of necessary approval oi" tne Industry (90 i3er cent of manufacturers must aaopt it). Ho'/ever, this is only a palliative measure a,iming to eliminate the gigantic surplus of productive capaxit y in order to as^tue a full utilization of the remaining industrial equipi-ient and in the long run means a.n economic, retreat of the British Textile Indu!~try before her power- ful rival Japan.
