the tax abolished. In a few months
following we shipped 100000 tons of
American coal to Spain, and in 1916 our
sales will reach 400, 900 tons-more coal
than we ever shipped to Spain before in
all the years. In his annual report
Secretary Redfeld says that three
weeks after the news of abolition of
the transport tax had come by cable
several American firms had landed big
orders.
And the king continued talking.
"By rights" he said, Spain ought not
to import coal. Our subsoil Is rich in
coal. as in every other useful mining
product, from aluminium and antimony
to wolfram and tungsten. But it's

carried from Cardiff to Barcelona by

Asturias by rail, though only 40 miles.
