the value of the paper issued. When
this was brought to their attention,
the answer was given that the $4,000
carloads of wheat of the British con-
tract would then be dumped on a mar
ket in which already new crop might
be looking for buyers, and that a great
slump in wheat prices would then re-
suit, decrease so great that it might
rob the 10000 carloads of the British
contract of whatever their value might
then be. In that case, it is argued,
Rumania would have to bear the loss.
A decline in wheat prices to a normal
peace level would in itself wipe out
the value to Rumania of the $4,000
carloads if they had to be disposed in
competition with new crop. In that
case Rumania would have no equiva-
lent for 262,OO0,O00 lei of it's paper
currency.
The Bratianu government has been
attacked savagely for it's failure OF
making an arrangement with the Brit
ish bureau whereby the Rumanian
state treasury could collect the ex-
port tax which the wheat would have
brought had it been exported to the
central powers The sum in ques
tion is 40,O00,00O lei.
Grain exported from Rumania al
present pays an export tax of 500 lei
per ten-ton carload, of which one-hali
must be paid in gold. The export taz
the Austro-German cereal commits
sion will pay on its two contracts Of
10000 carloads is 75,000,000 lei. II
case the $4,000 carloads of the British
| bureau were exported now, a tax oi
| 40,00O,000 lei would be due. In the
contract made there is nothing sale
concerning this tax, and since the
wheat purchased under it, say Bra
tianu's critics and the agrarians 'o
Rumania, will be exported when peacs
comes, Rumania is bound to lose these
40.0O0,000 lei, because with the re
opening of the normal channels O
trade and commerce, Rumania mus
compete with the other grain pro
ducers of the world and in doing 81
discontinue her export tax. The Brit
| ish bureau would then get the Whea
without this tax, while the centra
powers would export the wheat nov
and enrich Rumania by 40,000,000 lei
1t is asserted here that the Bra
tianu government has in this manne
made the British government a pres
ent of 100000 lei, to which will sool
be added another 100000 lei to b,
expended in the erection of storage
for the wheat bought by the British
Such deal, assert the conservative
and Agraria could have only polit
ical background.
The coming of the new crop will
largely neutralize the intentions o
the British contract, 1t is stated here
The new crop is expected to be abou
244, 900 carloads Of which Rumania 70
herself will need $4,000 carloads 70
seed and about 10000 carloads 70

$4,000 carloads are still unsold, so
the remainder of 40 per cent of tn

manian government set aside for hom
uses. but which will not be used VI
Next September, Rumania will there
