the BUSINESS SITUATION
BUSINESS continued to advance during May, with many important measures of economic activity rising to new
peaks. Personal income showed a
modest gain from April; nonfarm employment and industrial output also
moved up. The unemployment rate
declined to its lowest point in more than
7K years. Ketail sales rose sharply and
regained their February peak. Most of
the increase in sales was in nondurable
goods. It is now evident that gross
national product will show a goodsized rise in the second quarter, following the exceptionally large advance in
the first.
A strong indication of rising activity
in the months ahead is provided by the
most recent survey of business investment programs, which is reported in
detail in this issue. Expenditures for
new plant and equipment are expected
to increase throughout the year, and
for the full year 1965, they are scheduled to advance 12% percent over 1964.
The slight upward revision from the
results reported 3 months ago reflects a
step-up in projected outlays in the
second half of the year.
Stock prices declined fairly steadily between mid-May and mid-June. Standard and Poor's 500 stock price index
dropped about 7 percent from its May
13 high point to the level registered at
the end of 1964.

of the increase. Manufacturing payrolls, which dipped slightly in April,
were up $K billion as a longer workweek
and increased overtime raised average
weekly earnings to a new high. Trade
and service industry payrolls continued
to trend higher.

Disbursements to government workers rose $0.3 billion. This rise was in
line with gains in earlier months and
reflected primarily the steady uptrend
in State and local government employment. Nonpayroll incomes showed
small advances from April.

Data: OBE-SEC
65-6-1

Employment in nonagricultural establishments, which dropped by 75,000
from March to April, rebounded to a
new high in May, after seasonal
adjustment. The 150,000 increase took
place in private industries other than
manufacturing, and in State and local
government. Employment in trade
and service industries rose substantially and accounted for nearly threefifths of the total increase. Employment in contract construction recovered
somewhat, although it still remained
about 70,000 below the first quarter
peak.
In manufacturing, employment was
about equal to the April high, with
only small changes in most industries.
The only significant cutback—15,000
workers—took place in primary metals
industries; this reduction was related
to a slowing of mill finishing operations
after the labor contract extension.
The largest increase occurred in the
electrical and nonelectrical machinery
industries.
The overall rise in employment last
month exceeded the rise in the civilian
labor force, after seasonal adjustment,
and unemployment was substantially
reduced—especially among the longterm jobless. The seasonally adjusted
1

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
unemployment rate fell from 4.9 percent
to 4.6 percent, its lowest point since
October 1957. Rates of unemployment
for all measured age and sex groups
were down.
Industrial output edges higher

Industrial production showed only
fractional increases in April and May.
Auto and steel output continued at
near record rates, and there was some
additional gain in output of business
equipment. Production of nondurable
manufactures has been relatively stable.
Steel mill operations tended downward in the 3 weeks following the
agreement to extend the labor contract,
but improved in the last half of May.
The industry turned out about 12
million tons of ingot steel in May,
little changed from the record April
rate, after seasonal adjustment.
Steel inventories declined in April

after rising steadily for more than a
year. All of the drop occurred at producing mills, which have been cutting
back their stocks since January. The
reduction was especially pronounced in
March and April. As of April 30, mill
inventories were the lowest since the
fall of 1963, when steel ingot output
was some 30 percent lower than it has
been recently.
Manufacturing consumers, in contrast, continued to increase their stocks,
adding 1.3 million tons during April.
End-of-April stocks reached a record
15 million tons, some 5.4 million tons
above the end of September 1964, when
the buildup began.
The auto industry is still producing
cars and trucks at a rapid rate. Output was around 1 million units in both
April and May, and a similar volume
is programed for June. In March, the
industry turned out a record of more
than 1.1 million units. Output in the

CHART 2

April-June period would be below
March after rough allowances for seasonal influences.
Retail sales rise

Consumer demand was strong in
May. Retail store sales rose sharply
from April and were about equal to
the record high of February, a month
when the unusual pace of auto dealer
sales boosted total volume.
While the improvement in sales was
general by major lines of trade, it was
most pronounced at nondurable goods
stores, where sales rose 3 percent to a
new peak. Sales at durable goods
stores, although up slightly from April
to May, were still running below the
first-quarter rate because of a decline
in new car sales. Retail dealers sold 8
million new domestically produced passenger cars in May, at a seasonally adjusted annual ~ rate. This was down
from a rate of 8.2 million in April, 8.7
million in March, and a peak of about
9.5 million in January and February of
this year.
Inventories of new cars in the hands
of dealers rose sharply in May to a
record seasonally adjusted total of 1.2
million units. The stock-sales ratio
moved up for the fourth consecutive
month and at 1.80 was close to the
June 1964 high of 1.84.

First quarter corporate profits and
national income are shown in the tables
on pages 29 and 30. Profits before tax,
including the inventory valuation adjustment, are now estimated at $62.9
billion (seasonally adjusted annual
rate), almost $6 billion above the
fourth-quarter 1964 rate.
Chart 2 depicts corporate profits
after tax in relation to corporate output. Two aspects of the chart are
especially striking: The almost uninterrupted rise in profits since the recession trough in early 1961 and the
fact that profits have also been increasing fairly steadily in relation to corporate output. As the chart shows, the
ratio of after-tax profits to corporate
output in the first quarter of 1965 was
higher than at any time since the second
quarter of 1956.

Capital Expenditures To Rise Throughout 1965
ALANT and equipment investment will
continue to move upward and provide
a stimulus to the economy during the
remainder of 1965, according to the
latest survey of business investment
intentions conducted in late April and
in May by the Office of Business Economics and the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Expenditures for new
plant and equipment are programed at
successively higher rates in each quarter.
For the year as a whole, expenditures
are likely to reach an alltime high of
$50.4 billion.1 This exceeds last year's
outlays by ¥1% percent, just short of
the increase of 14 percent from 1963
to 1964.
Projected outlays for 1965 are 0.5
percent higher than those indicated by
the survey 3 months ago; most industries reported small increases in their
investment programs. The automobile and petroleum industries made
large upward revisions; programs in the
commercial group were scaled down.
The upward revision in 1965 capital
investment programs is concentrated
in the second half of the year. Actual
spending in the first quarter and the
anticipation for the second are quite
close to plans reported earlier. Expenditures are now scheduled to rise
about 2K percent in both the third and
fourth quarters, a somewhat smaller
rate of increase than in the last three
quarters of 1964. (See table 1.)

plant and equipment were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $20%
billion, 3 percent above the fourth
quarter of 1964. Investment programs
now provide for further increases
throughout the year; spending in the
fourth quarter is expected to reach an
annual rate of $22% billion. Among
the durable goods industries, motor

Quarterly movements

In the first quarter of 1965, expenditures by manufacturers for new
1. The reported figures for anticipations are adjusted, when
necessary, for systematic biases. (See footnote 2, table 6, for
a description of the methodology.) Anticipated expenditures for the year 1965 before the application of adjustment
factors were $49.56 billion for all industries, $21.79 billion for
manufacturing, and $27.77 billion for nonmanufacturing.
The adjustments are applied separately to each industry.
Their net effect on total manufacturing was close to zero; the
nonmanufacturing total was raised about $900 million, with
the bulk of the adjustment in the commercial group.




vehicle companies accounted for the
bulk of the first quarter advance in
outlays; nonelectrical machinery and
primary iron and steel producers will
account for most of the subsequent rise.
Nondurable goods manufacturers
project rising expenditures through the
third quarter and some leveling in the
spending rate in the fourth. All component groups, except chemicals, plan
to raise investment outlays through the
third quarter; for the final months of
the year, the pattern is mixed. Chemical companies anticipate little change
in outlays from the record rate in early
1965.
Plans for the nonmanufacturing industries as a whole imply a minor
increase in capital expenditures through
the third quarter and an acceleration
in the fourth. Within the group, the
pattern is mixed during the first three
quarters, but all major industries except
mining expect a rise in the fourth.
If these expectations materialize,
capital outlays will reach a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of $52 billion in
the fourth quarter, a total 55 percent
higher than the cyclical low in 1.961.
This advance represents a quarterly rise
of 3. percent for 18 quarters, as compared with 5 percent for 10 quarters
in the 1955-57 expansion and 4 percent
for 15 quarters in the expansion of
1949-53. Rising prices accounted for
part of the increases but for less in
the current advance than in the two
earlier ones. After removal of price
effects, the average quarterly rise was
about the same in each of the investment upswings—approximately 2 %
percent.
Factors bearing on realisation of current programs

1963

U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business Economics

Sales trends have an important bearing on the realization of investment
plans. Business sales rose sharply in
3

the first quarter to an alltime high
in March and fell slightly during April.
The annual rate of sales in this 4month period was slightly higher than
businessmen's expectations for the full
year 1965 as reported in the February
survey. As discussed elsewhere in this
issue, manufacturers anticipate further
sales increases in the third quarter,
after a sidewise movement in the
second. May retail sales were back
to the record February rate after declining in March and recovering partially
in April.
The rate of capacity utilization is an
important influence on investment decisions. Evaluations of capacity reported
in the plant and equipment survey
indicate that producers holding 42
percent of total manufacturing assets
regarded their existing plant and equipment on March 31, 1965, as inadequate
for their expected operations over the
next 12 months. The corresponding
figure a year earlier was 36 percent.
There was little change during this
period in the proportion of producers
who felt that their fixed assets were in
excess of their needs.
Orders for machinery and equipment
rose to an alltime high in the first 4
months of this year. Since these orders
typically lead capital investment by 6
to 9 months, a rising trend in expenditures for the balance of the year is
implied.
Manufacturing Programs
As is usual in periods of substantial
investment expansion, manufacturers
are setting the pace. They are planning
an increase of 17 percent over expenditures in 1964 to a record $21% billion;
expenditures rose 18 percent from 1963
to 1964.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1965

Both the durable and nondurable
goods groups are scheduling expenditures of nearly $11 billion. For durables, the planned increase over 1964 is
15 percent; this compares with an
actual rise of 20 percent from 1963 to
1964. For nondurables, the projected
advance of nearly one-fifth is a little
larger than for the preceding year.
As noted earlier, motor vehicle producers have revised their 1965 investment programs sharply—from $1.7
billion in February to $1.9 billion in
May. If these plans are realized,
expenditures for the year will rise 25
percent from 1964, following an increase
of more than 40 percent last year.
Outlays by the industry in the first
quarter exceeded the 1956 peak quarterly rate for the first time. Producers
of other transportation equipment have
also raised their sights since the survey
taken 3 months ago. They now plan
to increase capital outlays by 10
percent from 1964 to 1965 as compared
with no change projected in February.
The outlays of these producers dropped
10 percent from 1963 to 1964. Benefiting from the buoyant market for
capital goods, nonelectrical machinery
producers are scheduling one of the
largest year-to-year increases in investment outlays—one-fifth—in the durable
goods group.
Iron and steel companies, which have
engaged in large replacement and expansion programs in recent years, are
contemplating a more modest increase—
9 percent—over 1964. By the third
quarter of 1965, outlays will equal the
earlier quarterly record set in 1957.
Petroleum, textile, and chemical companies are largely responsible for the
somewhat greater expansion in investment by the nondurable goods industries

in 1965 than in 1964. For petroleum
companies, this year's expenditures
are expected to total $4 billion, up
18 percent from 1964. Programed expenditures by textile and chemical
companies are up 31 percent and 24
percent, respectively, from 1964. Paper
companies are also scheduling a sub-

stantial advance in capital expenditures—22 percent—a somewhat lower
rate of advance than in 1964.
Carryover and starts of investment
projects

Expenditures yet to be made by
manufacturers on projects already
underway totaled $14% billion at the
end of March—$2 billion more than at
the end of December and almost $4}£
billion above March 1964. (See table
3.) Projects already started or on
order are a somewhat firmer component
of planned investment than projects
still in the planning stage. Carryover
has also been increasing relative to
prospective expenditures. At the end
of the first quarter, carryover represented 70 percent of the average quarterly rate of expenditures anticipated
for the remainder of this year. The
corresponding figure a year ago was
60 percent. Both the durable and nondurable goods groups report substantial
increases in carryover over the past
year and increasing proportions of
carryover to total spending programs.
New projects undertaken by manufacturers during the first quarter of
1965 totaled $6% billion, as against
$5 billion in the corresponding period a
year ago. (See table 4.) All major

uted to this rise. New projects started
by petroleum companies were lower
than in the first quarter of 1964.
The period for which data on starts
are available is not long enough to
permit elimination of the seasonal pattern. However, a comparison of starts
in given quarters with their corresponding quarters a year earlier
provides a rough indication of quarterly
tendencies. Such a comparison indicates that the relative increase over a
year earlier was smaller in the first
quarter of 1965 than in the fourth
quarter of 1964, but higher than in the
first three quarters of 1964.

equipment facilities to meet expected
production schedules indicate some
increase in pressures on capacity. Companies holding 42 percent of total fixed
assets in manufacturing reported that
their facilities on March 31, 1965, were
inadequate for near-term needs; the
proportion of assets held by firms reporting facilities in excess of prospective needs was only 6 percent.2 The
corresponding figures a year earlier were
36 and 6 percent, respectively. The
increase of 6 percentage points between
March 1964 and March 1965 in the

1. Data exclude expenditures of agricultural business and outlays charged to current
accounts.
2. Estimates are based on anticipated capital expenditures reported by business in May
1965. The estimates for the 2d quarter and 3d quarter of 1965 have been adjusted when
necessary for systematic tendencies in anticipatory data. The adjustment for each industry
and time period is based on the median ratio of actual to anticipated expenditures for the past
5 years. However, no adjustment is made unless the anticipations have shown a bias in
the same direction in at least 4 of the last 5 years and in at least two-thirds of all years since 1954.
3. Includes fabricated metal, lumber, furniture, instrument, ordnance, and miscellaneous
industries.

with an increase of only 3 points from
December 1963 to December 1964.
At the end of March 1965, all major
industry groups showed higher proportions in the "capacity inadequate"
category than a year earlier. (See
table 5.) Primary metals, food and
beverage, and petroleum groups reported relatively larger advances in
this category from March 1964 to
March 1965 than from December 1963
to December 1964. The proportion of
assets viewed as inadequate varied
widely among the industries, ranging
from about one-fourth for petroleum
producers to about three-fourths for
the chemicals group.
Declines in the proportion of assets
considered in excess of needs were
general among the various industries
this March as compared with a year
ago. The food-beverage group was an
exception.
Nonmanufacturing Programs
Both rail and nonrail transportation
companies are planning further sub-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
stantial capital outlays this year,
amounting to $1.6 billion and $2.6
billion, respectively. For railroads, the
percentage rise over 1964 is scheduled
to be about one-sixth and follows three
successive annual increases of more than
one-fourth. As in the earlier years,
the expansion is primarily in outlays
for equipment.
All of the nonrail transportation
groups, except pipelines, are scheduling
higher expenditures this year than last,
but the rates of increase are lower
than from 1963 to 1964. For the
group as a whole and for most of its
components, programs for the second
half will show little change from the
rate established in the first half.
Public utility expenditures are expected to continue the rise that began
in 1963 following a 5-year downward
drift. Outlays for 1965 are programed
at $6% billion; this equals earlier record
levels and is 7 percent above last year.
Electric utilities account for most of the
rise over 1964 and all of the group's
further rise in the second half of this
year. The programs of electric power

companies are bolstered by sizable investment in long-distance and extrahigh voltage lines. Gas and other
utilities plan a small increase in expenditures from 1964 to 1965, and no
further growth is indicated for the latter
part of 1965.
Carryover of uncompleted projects
by utility companies totaled $7% billion
at the end of March, up $1 billion from a
year earlier. Projects with a total
anticipated cost of $3.3 billion were
started during the first quarter of this
year—up 40 percent from the corresponding period of 1964. This was a
considerable improvement over 1964
when starts rose only 6 percent from
1963.
Mining, communications, and commercial firms plan less-than-average
relative increases in investment from
1964 to 1965. Current schedules by the
commercial group call for expenditures
of $16.4 billion this year—up 8 percent
from 1964. Expenditures are scheduled
to, move upward to successive new highs
throughout 1965, after seasonal adjustment.

Manufacturers' Inventory and Sales ExpectationsSecond and Third Quarters of 1965
LANUFACTURERS plan to increase
their stocks in both the second and
third quarters of 1965 by about threequarters of a billion dollars, after seasonal adjustment, according to reports
submitted to the Office of Business
Economics in late April and in May.
These expected increases match the
rate of accumulation in the first quarter
of this year and the average rate of
1964, but they are not as large as the

when steel stockpiling was particularly
heavy.
Sales are currently expected to remain at the high rate of early 1965 in
the second quarter, and then to rise
IK percent in the third, seasonally
adjusted. The leveling in sales in the
second quarter, after an uninterrupted
rise since the end of 1962, reflects primarily reductions in auto and steel
sales, which were abnormally high in
the first 3 months of this year. The

third quarter 1965 gain is about the
same magnitude as the average rise
in 1964.
Manufacturers considered their
March 31 inventories to be larger in
relation to needs than they were at the
end of 1964. Producers holding 16
percent of stocks characterized their
inventories as "high" on March 31,
as compared with 13 percent on December 31. The rise was attributable
primarily to steel users.

Actual first quarter sales and inventories were quite close to those projected by both durable and nondurable
goods producers in the previous survey.
Sales projections for the second quarter
are currently somewhat stronger than
they were 3 months ago, when producers expected sales to decline 1 percent from the first quarter rate. The
anticipated inventory addition from
March 31 to June 30 has been reduced
from $900 million to $700 million. The

Nondurables—sales and inventories
to continue rise

Nondurable goods manufacturers expect 2-percent sales gains in both the
second and the third quarters, with
most industries participating in the rise.
The projected gains about equal the
average quarterly advance of 1964 and
exceed the 1-percent rates of gain in
1962 and 1963. Third quarter sales
are anticipated at $58 billion, 7 percent
above the corresponding period of 1964.
The anticipated inventory additions
of almost $300 million in the second
quarter and almost $200 million in the
third, seasonally adjusted, would, if
realized, bring inventory book values to
over $25 billion at the end of September,
as compared with $24 billion a year
earlier.

The sales and inventory expectations
correspond to a stock-sales ratio of 1%
months, the same as the one that has
been maintained since mid-1964.
Inventory condition on March 31

Durable goods manufacturers holding
20 percent of this group's inventory
judged their stocks on March 31 as
"high." This compares with a "high"
ratio of 15 percent at the end of both
September and December 1964. The
"about right" category fell from 82 percent in December to 77 percent in
March, and the "low" group remained
at 3 percent. The increase in the
"high" proportion occurred entirely
among steel-using industries. There
was no change in the "high" position

for primary metals producers. Among
nonferrous metals companies, the
"low" proportion has been exceeding the
"high" since the end of 1963, reflecting
supply shortages of many key metals.
The evaluation of inventories by nondurable goods producers was unchanged
from yearend 1964. Only 9 percent of
stocks were considered "high," 87 percent were "about right," and 4 percent
were "low."
The stock-sales ratios of manufacturers generally conform to their
reported evaluations of inventory condition. Manufacturers with inventories
in the "high" category on March 31 reported a ratio of 2.2; the "about right"
category reported a ratio of 1.6, and
the "low" group 1.5. The ratio of the

low group may not be statistically significant because of the small number of
firms in this classification. As may be
seen in the following table, the durable

The Balance of Payments in the First Quarter of 1965
XHE balance on international transactions of the United States in the first
quarter showed a sharp improvement
over the fourth quarter of 1964. On a
seasonally adjusted basis, the adverse
balance on regular transactions was $733
million as compared with $1,551 million
a quarter earlier. However, both quarters
were strongly influenced by temporary
factors that, on balance, had a negative
impact. It will be some time before
the influence of these factors- can be
separated from the more basic trends
in the accounts.
In the first quarter, the negative factors included the dock strike that reduced our net merchandise export
surplus, an apparent speedup of capital
outflows to foreign affiliates of U.S.
companies, and a relatively large extension of long-term bank loans. Partly
offsetting the effect of these developments in the first quarter outcome were
withdrawals from abroad of corporate
cash assets, a reduction in short-term
banking claims related in part to the
drop in exports, an accelerated repatriation of income on direct investments, and reduced Government
outlays.
Several of the first quarter developments were related directly or indirectly to the program to improve the
balance of payments sent to Congress
by the President on February 10.
Commercial concerns apparently acted
quickly to reduce their excess cash
assets abroad, especially those held in
Canada. The rise in dividend receipts
was also related to this effort, although
the reduction in U.S. corporate income
tax rates in 1965 and some concern
about the balance of payments of the
United Kingdom were probably also
important factors. On the negative
10




side, there are indications that a considerable part of the extraordinarily
large outflow of funds to foreign affiliates in the first quarter reflected uncertainties in the early weeks of this year
as to what form a new balance of payments program might take. Foreign
long-term lending by U.S. banks had
not yet had time in the first quarter to
adjust to the guidelines of the program,
but in March such lending was sharply
curtailed.
Composition of balance
The combined change in U.S. reserve
assets and in liquid liabilities to all
foreigners in the first quarter was
adverse by $151 million. Reserves declined by $842 million, nearly all in gold.
This was the largest quarterly gold
loss since the fourth quarter of 1960,
and over .half of the total was accounted

for by French purchases. Further gold
purchases from the United States
amounting to $276 million were made
in April and May. Heavy losses of
gold in the early part of the year
were to be expected as a consequence
of the large foreign accumulations of
dollars during 1964. Conversions of
dollars into gold have occurred previously following periods of large accumulations of dollars in foreign official
and private accounts. As the net
dollar outflow in recent months has
declined, purchases of gold have also
diminished.
Dollar holdings of foreigners (bank
deposits, open market paper, and
marketable or convertible Government
securities) decreased by $691 million
in the first quarter. This figure is
net of an increase of $51 million in

nonmarketable convertible Government

Seasonal factors, mainly affecting
foreign travel, tend to make the first
quarter unadjusted results look more
favorable. An adjustment of $517
million for these factors raises the
first quarter adverse result to $668
million.
Special Government transactions in
the first quarter that have been identified so far amount to a net inflow of
about $65 million, largely representing
net advances on military sales. If
these special items are eliminated, the
adverse balance on regular transactions in the first quarter was $733
million.
Within the quarter, the balance of
payments position in the first 2 months
was quite unfavorable because of the
shipping strike which sharply reduced
the export balance, a continuation of
large long-term loans by banks, and
probably also because of unusual outflows to foreign affiliates. (Information on the last item is not available on
a monthly basis.) A sharp swing then
occurred in March, as exports rose
sharply, industrial companies drew
down their cash assets abroad and
possibly cut back their flows to affiliates, and bank lending was moderated.
Similar positive influences were at work
in April and May and will have a
sizable effect for the second quarter as
a whole.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
quarter of last year, accounting for
much of the quarter-to-quarter change
in the overall accounts.
Investments by nonfinancial firms

11

The first quarter outflow for direct
investments in foreign affiliates was
larger, however, than would be required for the immediate needs of even
this stepped-up rate of plant expansion
abroad. Moreover, there were no unusually large cash outlays to purchase
interests in existing companies. Accordingly, there is a strong implication
that funds were being transferred
abroad pending clarification of the
balance of payments program.
The outflow of $504 million to Europe
in the first quarter probably reflected
both of these factors. European affiliates accounted for most of the projected
rise in plant and equipment expenditures
and probably received a large part of
any accelerated cash flows. At $213
million, the outflow to Canada was exceptionally high; it included about $100
million of securities of Canadian affiliates placed with U.S. financial institutions. Large outflows to the Middle
East were related primarily to payments for oil leases. Investments in
other areas were moderately higher
than a year ago.
In contrast to the enlarged flow of
funds to their foreign affiliates, U.S.
industrial and commercial firms drew
down their holdings of foreign time deposits and other relatively liquid investments by about $200 million. The
inflows were largely from accounts with
Canadian banks. Those banks met
the withdrawals partly by reducing
their claims in Europe.
The repatriation of funds by U.S.
companies is in line with the voluntary
program to improve the balance of
payments. This program recommends
that short-term assets held abroad in
excess of normal working requirements
should not be increased over the
amounts held at the end of 1964 and
should be reduced in an orderly manner
during 1965 to the level outstanding
at the end of 1963. Some further reduction during 1965, though possibly at
a diminished rate, would be necessary
to achieve this result.

A major element in the first-quarter
outflow was a spurt in direct investments in foreign affiliates, to $1 billion
(seasonally adjusted). This was close
to the peak rate in the second quarter
of 1957, when very large payments
were made for petroleum concessions
in Venezuela. Direct investment flows
in the first quarter were especially high
to continental Western Europe, Canada
and the Middle East.
Direct investments had been on the
rise in 1964, reaching $2.4 billion (revised) for the year as a whole. Seasonally adjusted, the outflow rose during
the year from $464 million in the first
quarter to $821 million in the final
quarter. The further rise early in 1965
reflects two main factors. Basic is the
considerably enlarged volume of foreign
plant and equipment expenditures
scheduled for 1965, according to still
very preliminary tabulations of incoming reports. These tabulations indicate that expenditures for fixed assets
abroad were higher in 1964 than originally projected by the companies 1 and
that a further rise of perhaps as much
as 20 percent is planned for 1965. If
borne out by the complete tabulations,
this would represent a higher rate of
increase than in any previous year, requiring outlays for fixed assets to rise
by about $1 billion from 1964.
Private Capital Flows and
Such a rise would be considerably

of new foreign issues in the United
States were $300 million, including $160
million of an International Bank issue
purchased by U.S. investors. Proceeds
from this issue were placed in longterm time deposits, so that they did not
immediately affect liquid liabilities.
Canada was the other major borrower.
Since the introduction of the Interest
Equalization Tax in July 1963, there
have been only minor issues sold here
by countries subject to the tax. As
this year goes on, however, the limitation on term lending by U.S. banks
and the drawing down of cash held
abroad by industrial companies might
be expected to lead to increased sales
of new securities in this market,
including some that would be subject
to the LET.
Americans are continuing to liquidate
their outstanding holdings of foreign
equity securities, a process that began
in mid-1963 when the IET was applied
to such purchases except for investments
in less-developed countries. Recent
liquidations have primarily affected
Canada.
Bank lending
In the first 2 months of the year,
banks increased their long-term loans
to foreigners by about $450 million, a
rate even higher than in 1964, when
the increase for the year was $942
million. Lending was unusually large
to Europe (especially to Germany),




Canada, and some Latin American
countries. In March, however, the
flow diminished to a minor amount,
and there was a sharp reduction in
long-term bank loan commitments outstanding, as reported to the Treasury.
Short-term bank financing followed a
different course. Credits related directly
to exports were reduced in January
and February when the strike tied up
shipments at east coast and gulf coast
ports, and then expanded in March
when shipments accelerated. Some reductions occurred during the quarter
in short-term assets held abroad by
banks for accounts of their customers,
probably reflecting the ,same factors
causing the reductions reported directly by commercial concerns. Shortterm loans to foreign banks and other
borrowers increased considerably in
February, primarily to Germany and
Mexico, but have not risen significantly
since then.
The balance of payments program
initiated in February envisions a net
increase during 1965 of not much more
than $500 million in the foreign assets
of U.S. banks. Since the first-quarter
increases were approaching that
amount, net increases for the remainder
of the year are likely to be quite
limited, with lending activity by banks
shifting toward export financing and
less-developed countries and away from

Foreign investment in the
States

United

Foreigners added $245 million to
their investments in the United States
during the first quarter—over $150
million in time deposits, about $60
million in direct investments, and $33
million in securities. As mentioned
above, the increase in time deposits
of over 1 year maturity represented
primarily the proceeds of sales of bonds
in the United States by the International Bank. Direct investment inflows were reported for Europe and
Canada; these flows have been quite
erratic in recent years, and reverse
flows may develop in later quarters.
U.S. affiliates of foreign firms have
been requested, as part of the balance
of payments program, to refrain from
borrowing in the United States in
order to transfer funds abroad or to
replace funds normally obtained abroad.
Reversing a long period of liquidations of U.S. equity securities that
began early in 1964, foreigners made
small net purchases in the early months
of 1965. Some of this reversal was
probably connected with the sale of a
large block of stock by a leading U.S.
company, a sizable portion of which
was placed with foreign investors.
Income on investment

Income from private foreign investments was $150 million higher than in

the first quarter of 1964, and $200
million higher than in the fourth
quarter. Most of the gain was from
direct investments and reflected a
larger investment base and some acceleration of distributions to parent companies. Receipts rose from all areas,
but particularly from the United Kingdom. Last year's heavy outflow of
bank loans and other portfolio lending
has resulted in an enlarged return
flow of income on these investments
also.
Government Transactions
On balance, Government transactions were reduced by over $200
million between the fourth quarter
1964 and the first quarter of this year,
but the shift primarily reflected special
circumstances.
Grants and capital
outflows at $959 million were lower
than in any quarter of the previous 2
years, partly reflecting the delay in
shipments because of the dock strike.
Repayments on outstanding loans were
back to normal following the fourthquarter dip when the British repayment was postponed.
Military expenditures were somewhat
lower, despite larger outlays in Asia.
Early data indicate that receipts from
military sales were also reduced compared with the fourth quarter of last
year.
Merchandise Trade
The balance of merchandise trade
dropped sharply in the first quarter
1965 since the impact of the lengthy
longshoremen's strike fell more heavily
on exports than imports.1 It is estimated that the merchandise export




products; nonagricultural exports appear to be little changed.
For agricultural exports, a considerable amount of collateral information
is available. It suggests that, even
without the strike influences, there was
some weakness in markets for wheat,
cotton, and tobacco. The near-record
1964-65 European wheat crop, in
strong contrast to the poor harvest a
year earlier, has reduced European
demand for U.S. wheat. This has
been only partly offset by increased
wheat shipments to India under the
U.S. aid program. Ample world supplies of cotton and tobacco are also
expected to result in smaller U.S. shipments abroad.
On the other hand, strong upward
trends were evident in exports of feed

While less information is available

been reduced by roughly $0.8 billion for nonagricultural exports, it seems
because of the dock tie-up. Of that reasonably clear that the dock strike

After adjustment for deviations from modities and areas that determination

the principal shift in the first quarter some time in the future.
Canada is the one major trading area

have less effect on recorded imports, which are reported when
percentage of the trade is oceanborne
the ship arrives (regardless of when it is unloaded), than on
from U.S. Atlantic and Gulf ports, and
recorded exports, which are reported at the time that the
ship actually leaves the port. Also bulk cargoes such as
much of that was diverted to rail or
crude petroleum, unloaded by automatic processes, comprise
truck carriage. Nonagricultural exa greater share of imports than exports.
surplus in the first quarter was reduced
by about $0.6 billion because of the
dock strike. In the second quarter the
export surplus will perhaps be inflated
by $0.5 billion because of the catching
up in strike-delayed deliveries. Smaller
distortions in exports and imports
occurred when threats of strikes brought
a speed-up in shipments in the third
and fourth quarters of last year.
Estimates of the impact of the strike
on exports and imports have been constructed by comparison of monthly
movements before strike effects were
noticeable with those during periods
affected by the strike. These comparisons excluded data for Canada and
Mexico, and for petroleum, all of which
were relatively free of strike influences.

ports to that country, after adjustment
for seasonal factors, showed a gain in
the first quarter of about 4 percent over
the fourth quarter level, thus continuing the almost steady advance during
the quarters of 1963 and 1964.

SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Petroleum imports rose to a new
high in January-March. Imports of
other industrial supplies were relatively
well sustained at about the levels of the
two preceding quarters.
Imports of machinery and other

23
capital equipment, and also of consumer
goods exclusive of passenger cars, advanced above their 1964 quarterly
levels.
Foodstuff imports dropped by over
20 percent. In addition to the strike

Imports

As noted above, the strike-induced
decline in merchandise imports was
much milder than that in exports. In
the first quarter, imports amounted to
$4.7 billion, lower than the fourth
quarter rate by about $0.2 billion. If
it had not been for the strike, it appears
that the almost steady uptrend in
imports evidenced over the past 15
quarters, related to the rise in our
industrial production, would have extended into January-March 1965. It
is estimated that the fourth quarter
import data may have included some
anticipatory shipments and that the
first quarter figure may have reflected
a shortfall of about $0.2 billion because
of the interruption in shipping. The
backlog in imports at the end of the
first quarter may have amounted to
$0.1 billion.
Little affected by the strike, seasonally adjusted imports from Canada rose
by about 5 percent above the fourth
quarter level. Imports from Japan,
much of which arrived at west coast
ports, increased by 6 percent. Imports
from the Latin American Republics
dropped markedly, reflecting, in addition to the strike, effects of extra-heavy
coffee shipments in the fourth quarter,
and a low sugar quota in the first.
A wide range of imported commodities rose in the first quarter despite
shipping difficulties. Imports of steel
products reached a new high, continuing the upswing of the fourth
quarter, which in turn had been preceded by five quarters of relatively
stable deliveries. Steel users increased
their inventories in the face of a possible domestic steel strike on May 1
and consumption also rose considerably. Over half of the steel imports
in the first quarter arrived from Canada
and Japan, but deliveries from Western
Europe were also close to fourth quarter levels owing to a heavy March
influx.

the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy,
are expected to continue, but perhaps
not quite as strongly as last year.
However, export prices of European
manufactured goods have not advanced
as rapidly as overall internal prices, and
those of Japanese manufactures have
fallen in the past few years.

Export Outlook in 1965
Agricultural exports are expected to
decline from the record $6.3 billion
level of 1964 for reasons already mentioned. The trend in nonagricultural
exports will be subject to several
special influences during the year, some
favorable and some adverse.
There has been some slowdown in
new export orders for machinery since
mid-1964. The backlog of unfilled
orders, however, has continued to
expand through the first quarter 1965.
Further lengthening of delivery schedules for capital equipment shipped
abroad may have some adverse effect
on U.S. competitive advantage.
Continued stability of U.S. export
prices is also necessary to maintain our
present competitive position. Pressures of demand and costs resulting in
increasing prices in Europe, particularly

Exports will also, of course, be greatly
influenced by the changing rates of
economic growth in the rest of the world.
Recent forecasts indicate a slower rate
of growth in economic activity in 1965

areas. Gross national product in West-

June 1965

ern Europe, after an advance of 5.5 per
cent (in volume terms) from 1963 to
1964, is forecast by the O.E.C.D. to
rise by about 4 percent from 1964 to
1965. Canadians estimate that the
rate of increase in their GNP rate will
move down from 6.5 percent in 1964 to
around 5 percent in 1965. In Japan
the forecast is for GNP to rise by 7.5
percent from 1964 to 1965, compared
with the 9.5-percent gain between 1963
and 1964.
U.S. exports generally follow the
movement of industrial production
abroad more closely than movements in
total GNP. Some slowing of growth
rates in industrial production abroad
also appears likely this year.
Import demand of the less-developed
countries may continue to increase in
1965 although some liquidation of
foreign exchange holdings may be
required to maintain high import levels.
Their export earnings may be dampened
by weakening prices for agricultural
products and a slowing in the rate of
expansion in the external demand of
industrial countries. Export earnings
of the less-developed countries rose by
8 percent in both 1963 and 1964, while
their imports rose much more strongly
in 1964 than they had in 1963.
Export prices of commodities produced by the less-developed countries,
after rising substantially during 1963,
began to weaken after the first quarter
of 1964, although on the average they
remained comparatively high in the
following quarters. Coffee, cocoa, and
sugar prices have been declining and
prices of wool are also moving downward. Rubber prices have become
firmer this year, on the other hand, and
prices of fats and oils and of metals
continue to advance.
Declines in U.S. capital outflows were
in the past associated with declines in
exports, indicating direct as well as
indirect relationships, and some adverse
effect on exports may be expected from
the anticipated decline in capital outflows during the rest of this year.
However, many American companies
with international investments have indicated that they intend to intensify
efforts to expand exports as part of
their contribution to the improvement
of the balance of payments.

Foreign travel outlays up sharply here

Foreign visitors spent a record $1.1
billion for travel in the United States, a
rise of 17 percent over 1963. Travelers
from overseas spent $400 million in the
United States, 20 percent more than in
th£ previous year, and paid U.S. sea
and air carriers a record $150 million
for transportation to and from the
United States. The growth of 27 percent in passenger fare receipts from
foreign visitors appears to mirror not
only the substantial increase in the
number of arrivals but also the lower
air excursion fares and other factors
that improved the competitive position
of U.S. air carriers. U.S. ocean carriers

personal income and are among the
fastest growing classes of consumer
expenditures in the American economy
(see chart 8). An important factor
contributing to this rapid rise has been
the steady decline in transocean air
travel costs during a period when average family income has been rising.
Early indicators for 1965 point to a
rise in travel payments more marked
than last year, although average outlays
are once more expected to decline
slightly. Preliminary estimates of U.S.
spending for trips abroad during the
first 3 months of 1965 were up 10 percent over the corresponding 1964 period.
Travel receipts were also higher.
Geographic Distribution of
U.S. Travel Outlays
U.S. travelers spent a total of $815
million in Europe and the Mediterranean area last year, an 8-percent increase over the $755 million total in
1963.1 The total number of Americans visiting Europe and the Mediterranean rose 13 percent, from 1,100,000
in 1963 to 1,250,000. Both increases
were below those in 1963, when spending rose 16 percent and the number of
travelers 18 percent. Average expenditures continued to decline, but the
increase in travel volume was large
enough to raise total expenditures.

1. Data for Europe and the Mediterranean area have been
revised for the period 1960-63 (see tables 2 and 4 for details).
Changes were made in methodology in order to adjust for
those portions of payments for package tours that do not
reach foreign accounts but remain in the United States.
Also, data separating travelers into U.S.-born and foreignborn were adjusted in order to offset a slightly higher response
rate by foreign-born residents in OBE's continuing survey.
Chart 9 shows the effect of the revisions on individual expenditure averages. Revised data for 1963 include only the

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

JL HE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1963 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 1959 through 1962 (1951-62, 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 1963 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated by an asterisk
(*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1962 issued too late for inclusion in the aforementioned volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the August 1963 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly data (for periods not shown herein) corresponding
to revised monthly averages are available upon request.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely,
through the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.
