Q1 1940 Activity

Kingdom of Thailand
2/2 factories producing naval materials: 2,000 tons created for Q4/39. 2,000 total tons + 306 stockpiled from previous quarter + 0 tons from scrapping = 2,306tons

2000 tons form HowCo escrow account (correcting for a clerrial error in previous years.)

4600 tons used. 6 tons left for Q2/40

0/2 factories committed for Quarter to infrastructure development = 0.0i.p.
