Pak Soekmono notes that both in Japan + U.S. most of the industry output is produced by smallscale establishments
he seems to favor the Japanese style of organization where small industry produces component parts + large factories are mainly for assembling; he notes that Indonesia small industry must handle 3 functions i.e. obtaining raw materials, processing + marketing, whereas in Japan small industry does processing only - because [[?]]. handle 3 functions they can't do oany of them really well
-other [[underline]] [[?]] expressed[[/underline]]:
1. the main problem in Java is that [[underline]] villages are overcrowded [[/underline]] ("terlalu padat") - because they are overcrowded there is not enough work to do - in many villages there is full-time agricultural work only 6 months out of the year; during the rest of the year villages may do things like fixing roads on canals, but they are not really working full time - because the government sees that the villages don't have enough work to do, they look on small industry as a possible way out ("dialan kelar") 
2. lack of said [[underline]] fertility is not a problem [[/underline]] except in just a few-aheas; Soekmono points out that fertility in villages like Kasongan + Manding is high enough ("cukeup tingge") - hel notes, however, that in Kasongan the villagers have a traditional belief that they will never have luck in agriculture; for the reaper the house gardeners are not well taken care of, the trees are not planted regularly, but things are just allowed to grow by themselves ("ilrarkan saja"); sawado in Kasongon, according to Soekmono, are usually owned by people
