BUSINESS activity in July, on the
B.
whole, was somewhat better than in
June, after allowing for the usual summer slowdown. In particular, July
retail sales were up for the second successive month following a lull in the
preceding six. Nonfarm employment
registered its sixth consecutive monthly
advance, and was 1.1 million above a
year ago. The June-July increase of
130,000, however, was the smallest
since the start of the year; furthermore,
the industry increases were concentrated in three major groups—construction, trade, and services. Manufacturing
employment, which rose
significantly from January to May, has
shown little change since.
Personal income continued its upward course and registered a new high—
rising by $1.7 billion at annual rate
from June. The advance, reflecting
mainly additions to nonmanufacturing
employment, was much smaller than
the rnonth-to-month rises during the
second quarter. Industrial activity increased somewhat over the peak June
rate after seasonal adjustment. There
was little change in durable goods
output because steel production fell
rather sharply for the second successive
month. Machinery output continued
to move ahead, as did nondurable goods
manufacturing, mining, and utilities.
New information on business capital
outlays will riot be available until next
month; the last quarterly survey indicated that these outlays will continue to
expand at a moderate pace in the third
and fourth quarters. The rise in orders
received by machinery and equipment
firms during the first half of this year
confirmed the trend indicated by the
survey. New orders received by these
companies in the second quarter were



up 5 percent from the first, after seasonal adjustment.
Recent developments indicate that
economic activity continues to move
ahead and that there are continuing
shifts in the factors contributing to the
total rise in business. The pace of advance, while resulting in new record
highs for GNP, employment, income,
and consumer buying, is not vigorous
enough to result in any significant imSECOND QUARTER 1963 GAIN IN FINAL

Retail sales and income higher

The retail sales rise in June and July
followed a period of several months
during which consumer purchases of
goods showed little change after having
contributed significantly to advances in
GNP. Revised figures for June were
up about 1 percent over those for May.
and July sales, on the basis of a d v a n c e
reports, were up another 1 percent after
seasonal adjustment. The July advances were registered in both durable
and nondurable goods outlets.
Automobile sales continued at a
strong pace in July as dealers sold
603,000 new domestic cars, the best
performance since July 1955. As the
auto industry began its annual shutdown for model changeovers, dealers at.

Personal income moved ahead in July,
to reach a total of $464 billion. The
slower rate of gain than in the months
of the second quarter reflected partly
the slowing down in the wage and
salary advance and partly the decline in
dividends from an abnormally high
June figure.

inent tax credit enacted last year have
increased corporate cash flow and
tended to stimulate new plant and
equipment spending. There was an
abundance of credit available throughout the second quarter—especially in
the home mortgage market—and longterm interest rates continued to show
little change.
Supplementing these gains in fixed
investment, net exports rose by more
than $1 billion in the spring, the first
rise in a year. The gain reflected a
spurt in exports which was influenced
by the termination of the dock strike
toward the end of the first quarter.
All told, demand in these two areas
was up $5 billion, in sharp contrast
with a net decline of nearly $2 billion
in the previous quarter.
Consumer buying up slightly
On the other hand, consumer buying
of both durable and nondurable goods
advanced very little from the first
quarter to the second; the increase in
service outlays continued.
Personal consumption expenditures
for durable goods, at $51 billion, have

been about unchanged for the last three
quarters.
Automobile sales in the
spring continued at the very high pace
first reached last autumn, when the
1963 models were introduced. On a
seasonally adjusted basis, quarterly
unit sales of new cars (including imports) have been at about 7.5 million
annual rate in each of the last three
quarters.
The $2 billion rise in auto expenditures from a year ago to a second quarter 1963 total of $22% billion, reflected
a one-tenth gain in new unit sales,
some upgrading in the mix of purchases
toward larger models with more
"extras," and strength in the used car
market.
Although consumer purchases of durables other than autos, at nearly $29
billion, have changed little since last
autumn, they are up nearly $1% billion
from a year ago.
Consumer purchases of nondurable
goods at $166 billion were little changed
from the first quarter reflecting a drop
in apparel buying and a gain in food.
The second quarter gain in food spend-

ing was another in a series of advances
that have been registered in each quarter since early 1962. During this
period, food purchases have gone up
by nearly 6 percent, to reach a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $86% billion.
With food prices rising about 2 percent
since the start of 1962. there was a
gain in real consumption of about 4
percent.
Government up slightly
Federal and State and local government outlays—possibly because of temporary factors—were also up only a
little. Government buying at all levels
had risen substantially during the
autumn-winter slowdown in fixed investment, and had sustained the moderate economic advance during that
period. The second quarter leveling
off in State and local purchases resulted
from a drop in construction outlays—
after two quarters of vigorous advance
•—which approximately offset the continued uptrend in payrolls. Highway
building, in particular, fell back sharply,

great as that recorded in the first
quarter and reflected small gains in both
the defense and nondefense areas. A
military pay increase is scheduled to
become effective early in the fourth
quarter and civilian pay goes up the
first of 1964.
In total, demand by persons and
governments increased by only $3% billion in the second quarter and accounted
for less than half the rise in GNP. In
the previous quarter, demand in these
sectors was up by better than $7/2 billion—or more than the full rise in
national output.

The Current Expansion in
Perspective
The most recent series of gains in
production carried the volume of output
in 1963's second quarter to a point 13
percent above the low registered in the
first quarter of 1961. This record
compares favorably with the rate of
expansion for similar time spans-—nine
quarters-—in each of the two previous
periods of economic advance. Nine
quarters after the trough of the 1958
recession (the second quarter of 1960),
GNP was up 12K percent; and, in the
third quarter of 1956, it was 11^ percent
higher than at its 1954 low point.
In making these comparisons, it is
also important to note that the length

August 1963

of the economic recoveries and expansions differed in the earlier periods.
Thus, the 1961-63 upswing has already
run as long as the 1958-60 advance,
which reached its peak rate in the ninth
quarter following the early 1958 trough.
In contrast, after the 1954 low point,
activity continued to expand for a total
of 13 quarters, with an overall rise of
14 K percent from trough to peak.
Notwithstanding the average rise in
total real output, a rapid gain in productivity during the current expansion
has held the increase in employment to
modest levels. Since the cyclical low
in early 1961, employment has gone up
from 66.8 million to 68.7 million—a
gain of 2% percent. During similar
time spans—nine quarters from the
cyclical low—of the earlier periods of
expansion, the increases in employment
were greater: 4% percent in 1958-60,
and 6% percent in 1954-56.
The existence of relatively high
unemployment and excess industrial
capacity has led to only small price
rises during the current business expansion. This is in sharp contrast to the
experience during the 1954-57 expansion, when the rise in demand was
accompanied by a steady uptrend in
prices.
Expansion centers in durables
production

So far in the current period of
economic expansion, the real volume of
output of durable goods has gone
up by one-third. As the chart on
page 4 shows, this expansion is far
greater than in either of the two
previous upswings. In 1958-60, the
maximum expansion in real durable
output was 28 percent, and in 1954-56,
it was 24 percent.
The cyclical expansion in business
fixed investment through the ninth
quarter of economic expansion has
reflected mainly the rising demand for
equipment; nonresidential construction
has shown little change. Consumer
buying of autos, household furniture
and appliances, and of other durable
goods has jumped by over one-fifth
since the cyclical low in early 1961,
while total consumer buying has gone
up by less than one-tenth. In sharp
contrast to the other recent periods of



SUEVEY OF CUEKENT BUSINESS
economic advance, when Government
buying of durables was sharply reduced,
hard goods purchases by the Federal
Government have expanded steadily
since early 1961, rising by nearly
one-fifth for the period as a whole.
In general, the gains in demand for a
wide variety of durable items have been
pervasive and well sustained all during

the present business upswing, as can be
seen from the chart on page 4. The
sharp second quarter 1963 rise shown
in the chart in part reflected the stockpiling of steel which undoubtedly temporarily accentuated production of hard
goods.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Personal Income by States in 1962
Record Dollar Volume in All StatesMost Major Industries Share in Expansion
the importance of manufacturing as an
income source in each State.
Manufacturing operations played an
especially strong part in boosting the
income flow in the Great Lakes and
Southeast regions. In the former, recovery from recession was the main
element making for an above-average
upturn. In the Southeast, both recovery and continued long-term growth
were important contributors to the
region's 1961-62 expansion of 10 percent—largest relative gain in the Nation—in the earnings of individuals in
manufacturing.
Farm income, though of much less
importance than manufacturing in the
income structure of most States, was
by far the major factor influencing income change in a half dozen States with
top-ranking gains in 1962. These included the Dakotas, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, and Utah. In each case,
however, the exceptionally large upsurge in farm income followed a decline
in the preceding year.
Nationally, government income disbursements and earnings from trade
and service activities, which comprise
nearly one-half of total personal income,
rose $11 billion in 1962. Rates of
change in these 3 major industries were

Business Economies' annual series on personal income by
a record $2,366 for the country as a
States. Preliminary estimates of personal income by States
whole—4 percent above the 1961 averin 1962 were published in the April issue of the Survey.
That issue also contained an account of major economic
age of $2,267. By Stu-t.es, average indevelopments in the regional distribution oi income in 1962

income—the
most
comprehensive measure of economic
activity available on a geographic
basis—was at a record dollar volume
in all States and the District of
Columbia last year accompanying a
general expansion in employment and
productivity. 1
For the Nation as a whole, personal
income in 1962 rose by approximately
$25 billion to a new high of nearly $440
billion, 6 percent above the 1961 total.
This dollar expansion represented a 5
percent gain in real income—or new
purchasing power—as consumer prices
rose by about 1 percent.
The largest dollar increases in 1962
were scored in the Mideast ($5.2
billion), the Great Lakes ($4.7 billion),
the Southeast ($4.5 billion), and the
Far West ($4.4 billion). These topranking gains were mainly a reflection
of the large economic size of these
regions; residents of these four areas
receive three-fourths of all personal
income in the Nation. In relative
terms, however, the pace of economic
expansion was in excess of the national
average only in the Far West and
Southeast.




Nevada, to $1,285 in Mississippi. In
addition to Nevada, others in the top
rank with per capita incomes of more
than $2,500 last year, include Delaware
($3,102), Connecticutt ($3,089), New
York ($2,930). California ($2,898), New
Jersey ($2,887), Illinois ($2,844),'Massachusetts ($2,769), Maryland ($2.683),
and Alaska ($2,667). In the District
of Columbia, per capita income rose to
a record high of $3,219.
In most States and regions, population changes approximated the nationwide increase of 2 percent, and geographic shifts in average incomes as a
rule paralleled those in aggregate income, although at a lesser rate. In a
few States relative changes in population and income differed significantly.
Generally, this occurred in those States
where population gain was a primary
factor in total income growth and as a
result increases in average incomes
were of less-tban-average proportions.
Scope of this Report
Estimates of total income for the
years 1954-62 and of per capita income
for 1950-62 are shown in tables 1 and 2
of this report. Comparable figures
back to 1929 may be found in tables 1
and 2 of "Personal Income by States
Since 1929," a supplement to the
SURVEY.
Industrial breakdowns of income

Tables 4-62a present a detailed
breakdown of income in each State for
the years 1960-62 both in terms of
industrial source and types of income.
Comparable information for 1929
through 1953 is contained in the Personal Income supplement noted above.
Figures for 1954-56 may be found in
the August 1959 issue of the S U K Y E Y ;
for 1957, in the August 1960 SURVEY;
for 1958, in the August 1961 SURVEY and

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

for 1959, in the August 1962 SURVEY.
Table 63 of this issue of the SURVEY
contains a breakdown of personal income by broad industrial source in 1962.
For the same year, table 70 provides
for each State an industrial distribution

August 1963

of civilian earnings from current production; the combined total of civilian
wage and salary disbursements, other
labor income, and proprietors' income.
These three flows account for about
four-fifths of total income and afford a

comprehensive picture of the industrial
structure of the various State economies.
They also serve as an indicator of the
industrial distribution of income produced in each State. Tables 63-69

a slowdown in lending to Japan, which
accounted for much of the 1960-61 outflow, and a reduced flow into Canadian

considerable size have shown up

United States firms invested a further

Major items for 1961 included: adjustments to book values of $309 million ($406 million in
petroleum in Venezuela, $—42 million in public utilities in Latin America, and a total of
$—55 million in petroleum in Africa and in mining and smelting in Latin America); transfer
to other investment categories of $177 million in public utilities in Canada; increases to

development of iron ore properties;
manufacturing investments in Canada
continued to increase at about $250
million annually, but in 1962 the growth
was financed very largely by reinvesting
most of a sizable gain in earnings.
Investments in petroleum facilities were
moderately higher, largely because of
acquisition from foreign owners of
additional interests in Canadian firms.
In other developed countries, U.S.
companies invested an additional $270
million in 1962, a considerable rise over
1961. Australia and Japan received
most of the added capital flow, with
lesser amounts going to New Zealand
and South Africa.
Less-developed countries

For Latin America, the sum of capital flows and reinvested earnings for
U.S. investments was reduced to about
$250 million in 1962 compared with
over $400 million in 1961. The 1962

result was greatly influenced by large
net cash inflows from petroleum and
other investments in Venezuela. If
Venezuela is eliminated, U.S. investors
added over $400 million to their
Latin American investments in 1962,
nearly the same amount as in 1961.
The 1962 investments were very largely
in manufacturing facilities, the investment in which was raised by over
$200 million in the year, with about
half going to Argentina. There was
also an addition of about $60 million
to manufacturing investments in Brazil,
but only $10 million came from capital
flows, with the remainder representing
reinvestments of considerably enlarged
earnings. These figures are not adjusted for any unrealized foreign exchange losses incurred during the year.
Investments made in other lessdeveloped areas in 1962 rose slightly
to about $450 million. Within this
total, there was a sharp decline in

August 1963

Direct investments in manufacturing
in all countries were at a rate of
0
$1.2 billion in 1962, a sizable jump
over the $900 million invested in
1961. About 80 percent of the additional investment in each of these
years went to the developed countries,
and data now available on investment
plans for 1963 indicate a similar outcome.
The transportation industry (largely
automobiles) continued to account for a
large part of the manufacturing investment (26 percent) with continued
expansions in Europe, Australia, and
Latin America. The chemical industry
is growing in importance and invested
over $200 million in 1962, including
investments by oil companies in petrochemical plants. Other important commodity sectors now growing at a relatively rapid rate are food products,
rubber products, and primary and
fabricated metals (including reduction
and fabricating of aluminum), while
the machinery and paper industries are
increasing at a slower rate (table 5).
The amount added to petroleum
investments declined by one-quarter to
$685 million in 1962, but company pro-

jections indicate that 1963 totals may
return to the 1961 level. More than
one-half of the new petroleum investments are now being directed to increase
refining facilities around the world,
particularly in Europe and other developed countries of the Eastern Hemisphere. Investment flows to other
industries were maintained close to the
substantial levels of recent years—about
$0.9 billion.

in the United States were moderately
higher in 1962, but the capital inflow of
$132 million included over $80 million
of increased liabilities of trading companies, rather than more permanent
investments here. In addition to the
capital inflow, about $200 million was
added to these investments out of retained profits.

The overall international investment

investors here and abroad, the changes
in short-term liabilities and monetary
assets largely depending in one way or
another on the outcome of the other

of the United States, and the extension
of credits of various kinds by the U.S.

the reverse transaction, fare payments
by U.S. residents to foreign transportation companies.
Operating costs or expenses in port
are another important part of transportation transactions. Port expenditure
receipts include disbursements by foreign sea and air carriers in the United
States for fuel, port fees, provisions,
maintainance, advertising, stevedoring
and other wages paid to personnel in
the United States. Similar payments
are made abroad by U.S. carriers in
foreign ports.
Postwar changes in ocean
tra n sport a tion

Up to a few years ago the substantial
loss of merchant marine tonnage by the
principal maritime nations during
World War II at a time when U.S. tonnage was undergoing a fourfold expansion; increased international trade during the postwar reconstruction stage;
and the subsequent world economic expansion all had the effect of placing
American transportation services at a
premium. From 1940 through 1958
the United States had a net credit balance in the transportation account of its
balance of payments. Prior to that,
in every year from 1922 to 1939, United
States debits exceeded credits on transportation services. During the 1950's,
however, most merchant marine countries gradually replaced their depleted
fleets with new, larger and more efficient
vessels, which offered stronger competition to the ocean transportation services
of this country. Since 1958 the net
position of the transportation account
has reverted to its prewar pattern of a
net payments balance.
From 1952 to 1962 freight receipts
declined relative to merchandise exports from 5.9 percent to 3.2 percent.
On the other hand, freight payments
rose relative to merchandise imports
from 3.9 percent in 1954, the first
year after the Korean conflict, to 6.5
percent in 1962, The recent excess of
freight debit?, over credits reflects the
declining participation of U.S.-flag ves23

sels in the transportation of United
States foreign trade. In recent years

carried by the U.S. merchant marine.

partially balancing element, minimizing large fluctuations on the credit or
on the debit side of the transportation
account of the balance of payments.
Because revenues from the carriage
of goods are offset to a large extent by
port charges and other related costs,
extreme shifts in the carriage of U.S.
trade are comparatively small in their
net effect if it is assumed other factors
do not change.
In table 2, the 1962 actual ocean
freight balance of payments position
is presented and compared with the
extreme cases that all U.S. exports and
imports were carried by American-flag
vessel, or that only foreign-flag vessels
were used in the transportation of U.S.
foreign trade. These extremes assume
that sufficient vessels are available and
that freight rates do not change, and
are presented solely to illustrate how
shifts in the carriage of freight between
U.S. and foreign vessels tend to affect
our transportation account.
If U.S. vessels carried all of this
country's ocean-borne commerce, no
debit from freight would result, but
port expenditures would increase greatly as a result of the increased activity.
If all U.S. ocean-borne imports and
exports were carried aboard foreign

Port expenditures a balancing factor

A large imbalance in the transportation account is unlikely because of the
countervailing effect of port expenditures resulting when either U.S. or
foreign operators enlarge their carriage
of U.S. commerce relative to the other.
Port expenditures, which include wage
payment to crew, bunker age, port use
and piloting fees, advertising, and in
some cases loading and unloading
charges, constitute a large part of the
total cost of moving goods in international trade. As U.S. payments to
foreign carriers for the transport of
U.S. imports and passengers increase,
the port costs of these carriers in the
United States must also rise since these
charges are directly related to the
increased activity of the carriers in the
United States.
Conversely, when
transportation receipts from additional
freight earnings on U.S. carriers increase, U.S. payments to foreign countries on port expenditures also rise.
Thus, port expenditures constitute a

vessels, payments to the United States
for port expenditures would offset some
of the increased freight payments.
This table indicates that the United
States balance of payments position on
ocean transportation could fluctuate
between the limits of $820 million excess of credits over debits if all freight
were carried on U.S.-flag ships, to $300
million excess of debits over credits if
all cargo were carried by foreign-flag
ships.
When the assumption is made that
the carriage of all trade is shifted to
U.S. vessels, freight receipts rise sharply
because of the relatively higher freight
charges by U.S. operators on exports,
which are largely liner tonnage with
relatively high rates. On the other
hand, when it is assumed that all our
imports are carried on foreign vessels,
our freight payments on imports rise
only moderately. This is partly because a large proportion of the tonnage
is already under foreign flag, partly
because of lower rates, and in part
because our imports consist to a greater
extent of commodities with lower transport costs than our exports. In addition, port expenditures abroad are
generally less expensive than in the
United States, so that a relatively
smaller part of the gain in freight revenue, when all trade is carried in U.S.
vessels, is offset by a rise in expenditures in foreign ports.
In citing these cases, of course,
many other considerations not directly
related to the balance of payments
are excluded and even for the balance
of payments accounts there would be
major indirect effects. The latter
would include changes in the cost of
delivering U.S. exports that would
affect our competitive position, and
offsets to our expenditures that result
when foreign recipients of dollars spend
them in the United States.
Freight receipts and payments
In 1962 earnings from all kinds of
freight on U.S. exports amounted to
$701 million, while freight payments to
foreign transportation concerns for imports into the U.S. amounted to $877
million. Table 1 presents credits and
debits resulting from freight movements as well as other major components of the transportation account.

August I'MS

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Ocean freight is by far the most
important item in freight receipts and
payments and constitutes 84 percent
of total freight receipts and almost 34
percent of all earnings of the transportation account in 1962. It is an
mportant item also because of its
large changes, which depend on such
variables as changes in the tonnage
and commodity composition of international trade, the degree of participation of U.S. vessels in world transportation services, and the level of
freight rates.
Credits on ocean freight transportation result from the transportation of
U.S. exports abroad aboard U.S. vessels
and their carriage of goods between
foreign ports. These earnings declined
during the Korean conflict from a high
of $880 million in 1951 to $471 million
in 1953. In large part this decline was
attributable to the transfer of privately
operated vessels to the Maritime Administration and to the fact that much
of the remaining U.S. privately operated
fleet was engaged in the carriage of
supplies to the United Nations forces in
Korea.
With the end of hostilities in Korea,
ocean freight receipts increased again
gradually and reached a peak in 1957,
when the closing of the Suez Canal, as
well as cyclical peaks both in the U.S.
and in the major industrial countries
abroad, intensified the demand for 1
shipping facilities. In the following
year U.S. ocean freight receipts fell
sharply to $559 million primarily as a
result of a large decrease in freight
rates, which can be attributed to the rise
of vessel-carrying capacity relative to
the total volume of cargos in international trade. In the remaining years
through 1962 these receipts have risen
slowly.
Earnings on ocean freight totaled
$588 million in 1962, little changed from
$585 million in 1961. While the
amount of export tonnage carried by
U.S.-flag vessels declined, earnings per
ton carried increased. The per ton rise
in ocean freight earnings occurred during the third and fourth quarters of
1962, when the shipping industry was
facing threats of a waterfront labor
strike. As a consequence the demand
for shipping to overseas destinations




increased temporality relative to the
currently available space and the shipping concerns tended to accommodate
commodities with higher freight rates.
Ocean freight payments for United
States imports carried by foreign carriers reached a peak in 1960 of $910
million, but declined in 1961 as a result
of a decrease in the quantity of imports,
and in 1962 remained below the 1960
level at $818 million. The reduction
in payments resulted largely from
the decrease in freight rates of bulk
commodities.
Included in total freight credits and
debits are other transactions, such as
Great Lakes shipping, rail traffic and
freight car rental between the United
States and Canada and Mexico arid
pipeline transportation. The net balance of all these transactions has fluctuated over the years between small net
receipts and payments, and amounted
to $24 million of net receipts in 1962.
Port expenditures

Since 1958 the largest source of
dollar receipts in the transportation
account of the balance of payments
has been port expenditures by foreign
sea and air carriers. In 1962 foreignflag vessels spent for these purposes in
the United States an estimated $684
million. Port expenditures in the United States by foreign air carriers for fuel,

loading fees, maintenance, advertising
and salaries amounted to over $190
million for the same year.
Receipts from port expenditures of
foreign ocean carriers rose markedly
from 1952 to 1962. Higher prices for
fuel and other services partly explain
this trend, but of greater importance
is the increased participation of foreign
carriers in the international trade of the
United States. These costs are incurred by foreign vessels in connection
with shipments to and from the United
States and should be compared with
the freight revenue earned by foreign
ships from U.S. exports as well as imports. Because the port expense is by
far the major element of total freight
cost, port expenditure receipts can be
nearly as high as all United States payments to foreign steamship operators
for the transportation of U.S. oceanborne imports.
During the 11 years span from 1952
to 1962 the ratio of earnings from
port expenditures to payments for
ocean freight declined somewhat, but
in the latter year still remained very
high. This decline can be explained
by changes in the commodity composition of imports and exports from
liner to tramp and tanker cargos;
loading and unloading costs of cargo
carried on these vessels are much less
than those of cargo typically carried
on liners.
Disbursements in foreign ports by
United States vessels and by vessels
chartered by American operators for
the transportation of freight between
foreign ports amounted to $241 million
in 1962.
Passenger fare payments rise

Passenger fares are the second most
important item on the payments side
of the transportation account, and
third 011 the credit side. During the
last eleven years passenger fare payments have more than tripled, increasing from $175 million in 1952 to
about $563 million in 1962, while
receipts from the carriage of foreign
residents by U.S. carriers rose by only
27 percent, from $112 million to $142
million. The substantial growth of
passenger fare payments is explained
primarily by the large expansion of

26
international travel of United States
residents.
About $200 million of 1962 passenger
fare payments was earned by foreign
passenger vessels and the remaining
$362 million by foreign air carriers.
On the receipt side, United States
air carriers earned approximately $42
million from the transportation of
passengers between foreign countries
in addition to the $86 million earned
from foreign residents for direct travel
to and from the United States. American passenger vessels received over $14
million from the transportation of
foreign residents to and from the
United States.
Passenger fare payments to foreign
air carriers by U.S. residents exceeded
payments to foreign sea carriers for the
first time in 1959, and have continued
to do so since.
The expansion of international travel
by U.S. residents is not the only factor
affecting the growth of fare payments;
the increased competition of foreign
air carriers is another. Foreign airlines
of other nations are the major competitors in the American market for international air travel. The major part
of the competition comes from the
airlines of other industrialized countries,
but many of the less-developed countries also have international airlines
under their own flags.
A major recent development has been
the rapid growth of air freight. U.S.
air carriers earned $56 million in 1962
against $24 million in 1952 on the transportation of U.S. exports. Air freight
payments to foreign carriers on U.S.
imports amounted to $26 million in 1962
and $8 million in 1952.
Merchandise exports and imports
carried by domestic and foreign air
carriers were valued approximately at
$840 million and $662 million respectively in 1962. Exports moved by air
were about 11 percent of all imports
of manufactured goods. The average
value per ton of exported air freightwas approximately $11,000 as compared
with an estimated $142 per ton value of
ocean-borne exports in 1962. Freight
transported by air received a strong
boost during the strike in the ocean
shipping industry at the end of 1962.

Operating expenditures of foreign
airlines in the United States—a port
expenditure item—increased from $32
million in 1952 to $190 million in 1962.
The ratio of these receipts to air passenger fare payments fluctuated from
50 to 75 percent during the same period.
Payments for operating expenditures of
American airlines abroad amounted to
about $167 million in 1962, which is an
increase of about 90 percent over 1952.
In contrast to port costs of ocean carriers
the net balance on air port expenditures
is adverse to the United States. The
substantial increase of these receipts
and payments can be attributed to the
large expansion of air travel and air
freight during the past years.
Value of ocean-borne trade

In 1961 ocean-borne exports in terms
of value amounted to $13.7 billion,
which is approximately 65 percent of
all U.S. merchandise exports. The
value of exports in 1961 transported on
liner vessels was $10.7 billion, while
tramp vessels moved over $2 billion
and tankers about $i billion of the U.S.
ocean-borne exports. American-flag
vessels carried somewhat less than 30
percent of the value of ocean-borne
exports.
The value of imports moved by ocean
freighter in 196! amounted to $10.9
billion or about 73 percent of all our
merchandise imports. Liner vessels
carried $7.7 billion while tramps carried

$1.49 billion and tankers $1.76 billion of
the ocean-borne imports. U.S.-flag
merchant vessels carried $2.4 billion of
imports in 1961 or 22 percent of the
total import value; the participation of
U.S.-flag vessels was only 7 percent of
all ocean-borne import tonnage.
A comparison of weight and value
carried by U.S.- and foreign-flag vessels
is given in table 3, showing that the
operations of U.S.-flag vessels are concentrated mainly in the transportation
of high-value cargoes, which usually
have high freight rates. Thus, although U.S.-flag vessels carried only
8.8 percent of the import and export
tonnage transported by ocean vessels,
they earned an estimated 23 percent
of all freight revenue generated }>y the
ocean-borne United States foreign trade.
Volume of ocean-borne trade

The volume carried by ships of all
flags in the ocean-borne foreign trade of
the United States increased from 166
million tons in 1952 to 269 million tons
in 1962. Of this total U.S.-flag vessels
carried 71 million tons in 1952 but only
24 million tons in 1962. Cargoes moving in liner service decreased from onequarter of all tonnage carried in 1952
to one-sixth in 1961. As the demand
for raw materials and petroleum imports rose and the exports of agricultural
aid cargoes expanded, tramp and tanker
services took an ever increasing share
of the volume of foreign trade.

August 11M>8

Export tonnage increased by almost
40 percent, from 72 million tons in. 1952
to 101 million tons in 1962. During
the Korean conflict exports declined in
terms of quantity to 53 million tons in
1953. From 1954 export volume rose
steadily to a record level of 129 million
in 1957. After the Suez incident export tonnage declined in 1958 to 89
million and in 1959 to 83 million, but
rose sharply in 1960 to 95 million and
has continued upward more gradually
since then.
The volume of imports rose more or
less steadily, reaching 170 million tons
in 1962 an increase of 92 percent from
the 89 million in 1952.
Trends in U.S. Shipping
Operations
The participation of U.S.-flag vessels
in the export and import trade of the
United States has declined primarily
in the tramp and tanker sevice. In
1952 out of total oil imports of 45 million
tons, U.S.-flag vessels carried 23 million
or about 50 percent, while in 1961 they
carried about 1% million tons, or 1.4
percent of all U.S. oil imports of 101
million tons.
Although the quantity of exports
and imports carried b}^ tramp vessels
increased, the U.S.-flag participation in
absolute and relative terms declined.
In 1952 out of 61 million tons of tramp
imports and exports, U. S.-flag vessels
carried 16 million but in 1962 carried
only 1% million out of 108 total million
tons of imports and exports.
In 1952 U.S. flag liner vessels transported 45 percent of all liner export
tonnage and about 90 percent of all
liner imports. Since then the participation of the American steamship lines
lias steadily declined until, in 1962, U.S.
liners carried only about 25 percent of
liner-borne exports and imports. U.S.liner participation in the transportation
of exports would have possibly declined even more if it were not for the
support provided to them by the 50-50
provision of Public Law 664.
The world merchant marine fleet
increased from 87 million gross registered tons in 1952 to 132 million in 1962,
an increase of 52 percent for the period.
Moreover, as a result of specialization
and the general streamlining of opera-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
tions as well as of increased speeds, the
increase in the efficiency of the world
fleet is greater than would appear from
the mere increase in its size. During
the same period, however, the privately
owned American fleet (excluding the
Government-owned reserve fleet) remained about 10 million gross tons.
The total active U.S.-flag merchant
fleet has shrunk from about 17 percent of the world's total in 1952 to only
7.6 percent in 1961. The failure of the
U.S. merchant marine to keep up with
the growth of world tonnage is attributed to a large variety of factors,
of which the high cost of operating
American flag vessels is probably the
most important. Because of this last
element some United States shipping
interests prefer to operate sizable portions of their fleet under foreign flags.
A large tonnage has been built in recent
years by U.S. companies and their
subsidiaries and has been placed under
the flags of Panama, Honduras and Liberia. Moreover, sizable tonnage has
also been transferred to foreign subsidiaries of parent U.S. concerns and
has been registered mainly with the
above-mentioned countries in order to
take advantage of the lower operating
costs under foreign flags.
A large part of these U.S.-owned
vessels under foreign flag are opera tingin the foreign trade of the United States.
In 1960 a total of 353 such U.S.owned dry cargo and tanker vessels of
8.3 million dead weight tons were enTable 4.—Ocean Transportation Costs Related to the Value of Ocean-borne Freight,

gaged in the U.S. foreign trade. These
vessels carried 63.7 million tons of
imports and exports7 which is about
23 percent of all U.S. foreign trade
cargos. In fact, over 39 percent of all
oil imports and 26 percent of all dry
cargo imports were carried by vessels
listed under U.S. effective control.
Recently a substantial portion of the
U.S.-owned foreign flag vessels has been
built abroad in countries which in the
last years have added to their dollar
and gold holdings. The construction
of these vessels abroad increased U.S.
private capital exports, or required the
use of funds which otherwise might
have been returned to the United
States. Some part of the freight receipts earned by these foreign flag vessels under U.S. effective control is
used to repay loans and interest in the
United States.
Cost of shipping related to trade

Overseas transportation costs of U.S.
ocean-borne exports in 1961 were on
the average about 12 percent of the
export value. Total freight paid to
ocean carriers on exports was estimated
at $1,656 million, of which American
operators received $425 million while
the remaining $1,231 million was paid
to foreign-flag vessels. Ocean transport cost on exports increased from
around 10 percent of the value of
exports in 1952 to a peak of about 16
percent in 1957, then declined gradually
to its present level.
On U.S. imports average transport
cost was estimated to be about 10
percent of the value of ocean-borne
imports at dockside in foreign ports in
1961. Payments for transportation on
U.S. imports were estimated to be about
$1,102 million of which U.S.-flag ships
received $311 million while the remaining $791 million went to foreign
ocean carriers. Average freigl.it cost on
U.S. imports fluctuated rather narrowly
between 9 and 10 percent from 1952
to 1961.
The existence of transport costs
means, of course, that our products are
more expensive abroad than in the home
market and that imported goods are
more costly here than abroad. High
transport cost is a deterrent to trade,
both regional and international. A
review of existing data suggest that

28
ocean freight rates on cargos outbound
from the United States are generally
higher than inbound rates for the same
commodity and the same trade route.
Freight rates on cargo liner service
operating on major freight routes are
established by conference agreements.
The steamship conference, by setting
freight rates on a particular trade route,
acts as a price leader; other liner companies that are not parties to the conference agreement offer similar services
at rates about 10 to 15 percent less than
the established conference rates.
The underlying concept in the organization of a steamship conference has
been the desire to regulate competition
between the regular lines of different
nations by establishing uniform freight
rates for each commodity and uniform
trade practices. Most major U.S. international freight routes are dominated
by liner conferences in which American
steamship companies are participating
with companies of other nations. It
seems that the practice of conferences
has been to consider inbound freight
into the United States as "back-haul"
cargo, thus setting cheaper rates for
commodities on United States bound
ships that would otherwise be returning
in ballast to pick up new cargo. The
entire charge for overhead costs is
assigned to the outbound journey for
the United States; therefore, the "backhaul" rate can be kept lower because
only direct cost must be met and any
returns in excess of these is considered
profit. This being the case, many commodities on several routes have higher
rates outbound than the same goods
inbound for U.S. ports.
Freight rates on U.S. exports tend to
be greater than inbound rates on U.S.
imports for the same commodities in
our foreign trade with industrial countries. In addition, some rates from the
United States to less industrialized
areas are higher than freight rates from
Western Europe and Japan for the
same commodities over comparable
freight routes. Provided that the composition of trade and the participation
of U.S. flag are not affected, higher
freight rates on U.S. exports increase
our foreign exchange earnings in the
transportation account, but would affect
adversely our merchandise exports, the
largest receipt item in the balance of
payments.
GNP— (Cont.from p. 5)

Because the gains in durable goods
output have been relatively greater than
those in other areas of the economy,
durable goods have accounted for 45
percent of the rise in GNP in the
current expansion. (See text table.)

This ratio compares with percentages
of less than 30 percent in the previous
two recoveries, and reflects a resurgence in the share of hard goods

a somewhat erratic cyclical behavior.
In the recent expansion, there has been
an especially strong and long lasting
gain in residential building which has
carried total construction higher in
most quarters. A small decline in State
and local government construction outlays—which make up one-tenth of the
total—has held back the overall gain.
As the chart shows, during the 195860 upswing in business activity, construction reached a peak early arid fell
irregularly for a year by this stage of the
cycle; this reflected mainly developments in the housing market. Nonetheless, in all three recoveries, total
construction expenditures were roughly
7 percent higher in the ninth quarter of
advance than at the cyclical low.

BUSINESS STATISTICS
JL HE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1961 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.00) contains data by months, or quarters, for the years 1957 through 1960 (1951-60, for major
quarterly series) and averages of monthly or quarterly data for all years back to 1939; it also provides a description of each series and references
to sources of earlier figures. Series added or significantly revised after the 1961 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated by an asterisk
(*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1960 issued too late for inclusion in the aforementioned volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the July 1961 issue. Except as otherwise stated, the terms "unadjusted' 7 and "adjusted" refer to adjustment for seasonal
variation.
