 Study Report

 The views expressed and the accuracy of analysis in this report are those of the Insti-
tute, and do not necessarily reflect concurrence by the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The published report is essentially in the form that it was submitted, editing
having been done by the Department under an understanding with the Institute that only
substantive changes would be submitted for their review.

 The final report was received in December 1962. However, it was not accepted until
December 1963 pending receipt of working papers and the required analysis on cotton.
Extensive editing of the final report was required due to numerous inconsistencies, large-
ly statistical. This problem apparently stemmed in part from the report's being largely
a summary of 18 working papers by various research team members. The final report
content met major and subsidiary study objectives and included required product analyses.

 In editing, British spelling and style have been retained. All tonnage figures are in
long tons (2,240 pounds) unless otherwise designated. Generally, in the tables, N. A.
means not available and dashes are used to indicate zero. Monetary conversion rates are
J1 = U.S. $2.80, and BWI$1 = U.S. $0.583.
