It is clear that even in pre-war years the Indian output
in cotton tw.ist and yarn was 1547 per cent of the
imports (i.e. more than 15 times).
In 1930-31 the percentage was 2975, i.e. the output
was more than 29 times the imports.
The percentage has virtually been doubled.
From the pre-war average of 41,798,OOOtbs. the
imports of cotton twist and yarn bave come down in
1930-31 to 29,140,000 tbs. i.e. to 69 per cent.4 This
diminution is to be noticed on all fronts, i.e. not only in
the lower and the middling counts but even in the counts
above 40 as well. Some. of these details are given
below (in thousand tbs.):
