Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

DROGRESS is being made towards

the complete fabrication in Brazil of Alfa-Romeo lorries by 1956-57. The National Motor Factory has already produced 1,000 lorries of the AlfaRomeo D.9500 type, about 38. per cent. of their weight having been manufactured in Brazil.

This year, local production is to be carried a stage farther with the manufacture of 45 per cent. by weight.

• Depending on finance from the National Bank, the proportion will be raised to 70 per cent. and then the remaining 30 per cent, that will still have to come from Italy will consist of the engine, clutch and gearbox. The company's turnover last year on account of lorry production was 142 m. cruzeiros, whilst buses and trailers earned 38.5m. cruzeiros.
