BIGGER OUTPUT
BRITISH COAL TRADE \ INCREASING DEMANDS FRANCE AND ITALY HOME INDUSTRIES (British Official Wireless.) Rpcd. 2.40 p.m. RUGBY, Oct. 13. The British coal industry is planning to increase the output by about 300,000,000 tons yearly. Much of the extra coal will be used to meet the increasing demands of the export market. Bigger supplies are required by France and large orders are expected from Italy as a result of negotiations now being actively pursued with the Italian Government. The order terms of the Anglo-Polish agreement are now at an end, because the Polish mines are in Germany’s possession. The valuable Scandinavian market was divided almost equally between Britain and Poland. British exporters hope not only to retain their share of this market, but also to increase it. Proposals whereby Britain’s coal production can be largely expanded are being submitted to the Government by organisations of coal owners and coal miners. Home industries will also want more coal than formerly now that they and other factories engaged,in the country’s war effort are coming into maximum production.
