...Providence will soon have a new $2,800,000 Bacardi rum factory; such firms as Bethlehem Steel, Whirlpool, Owens-Illinois Glass and Outboard Marine have come in with overseas sales offices. On Grand Bahama, a $1,500,000 bunkering terminal pumps more than 1,000,000 bbl. of marine fuel a month into vessels from all over the world, while close by a subsidiary of U.S. Steel is building a $50 million cement plant.

Kobe's Kawasaki Heavy Industry recently launched a 29,000-ton tanker whose engine and control systems are so highly automated that it is manned by only 31 crewmen v. 62 for comparable tankers. Also at Kobe, Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries is experimenting with a "pin-joint...
