By WALTER BREEDE JR.
NEW YORK - "Japanese
vacations" are becoming more
and more frequent these days in
the r. S. cotton textile industry.
Several mills have shut down,
claiming low-cost Japanese goods
have priced them out of the mar
ket, Workers who get laid off call
it a "Japanese vacation." Nobody
likes to take a Japanese vacation.
It's usually payless and some
times permanent.
The phrase "Japanese vacation"
is indicative of the loud com
plaints you can hear almost an?
day now from mill executives who
produce cotton cloth in New Eng
land and the South. They're pro
testing vocilerously about Japan
ese competition.
Tho reason is that the Japanese,
who pay lower wages and don't
have to pay V. S. support prices
for raw cotton, can sell cotton
goods more cheaply.
Buy Japanese
A yard of Japanese gingham
h
sells in this country for 44 cents,
including 22 per cent duty. A yard
of comparable American cloth
sells for 55 cents. U. S. garment
manufacturer and retail store;
attracted by the lower price, buy
all the Tapanese cloth they C
get their hands on.
Just how damaging is this com
petition? Here's what U. 8. cotton
cloth producers say:
Measured in terms of total U. B.
textile production, Japanese im
ports don't amount to bill of
bean... But the Japanese industry
wd select two or three key V. S.
textile markets, and concentrate
its production on those spots. That
effect is described as deadly.
More laveatarlet
Prices plummet, inventories pile
up. U. S. mills specializing in the
kind of goods the Japanese happen
to be concentrating on at the mo
ment cut production and some
times go out of business.
First tt was printcloths and
broadcloths," says the representa
tive of a big Southern cotton mill
with offices on New York's Worth
St., century-old textile trading
center. "Then It was tablecloths
and napkins. Until recently, Ja
panese blouses were a deadly
menace; now it s velveteens anq
ginghams."
Right now, the V. 8. cotton tex
tile industry is producing at the
rate of about 10 billion yards of
cloth a year. Last year Japan
shipped too million yards of cot
ton goods to this country, plus
blouses, dish towels, sport shirts,
diapers and other fabricated item
containing an additional SS to M
million yards.
Tis year Imports of cotton tex
tiles from Japan may reach a to
tal of 250 million yards, including
piece goods and finished fan
ments.
Small Percentage
That's only about 2't per fnt
of total U. S. cotton goods produc
tion. But this cold statistic 1 of
little comfort to the V, S. gingham
or velveteen producer who has
lost his entire market to low,
priced Japanese goods,
Its also claimed that the Ja
panese textile industry Is hurting
V. S. business in foreign markets.
Matthew J. Cuffe. outgoing presi
dent of the Textile Export Assn.,'
said U. S. cotton textile exports
of S39 million yards last year were
"disappointing.
Exports reached a peak of Hi
billion yards in 1947 and have
been declining ever since, he
pointed out, with a marked drop
last year in sales of U. S. goods
in South and Central American
countries. s ' .
