CLOSER UNION
NOW DESIRED

spects are independent states. Var
ious matters. and. especially, the tar
In question, have to be arranged
from time to time by means OF what
Is called the "Ausgleich" or joint
agreement. This is usually made for
ten years and the present "Augleich"
expires at the. end Of 1917. 1t has
never been easy to renew this ar
rangement each time as 1t expires. as
the Hungarlans have always sought
to wiring some new political conces-
sions from Austria. One powerful
party in Hungary even demands the

tween the two halves of the monarchy
in order to bolster up new industries.
To form a lasting commercial I'M.
ion with Germany, Austria now de.
mands that the "Ausleich shall be
made for term OF twenty-five years,
but the Hungarians fear to tie them
selves up with their industrially
stronger partner for SO long a time.
They argue that II will keep open
the present free customs relations be-
tween the two countries for too long
time, and, thcn. too, they will lose
the opportunity Of gaining new con-
cessions each decade.
It has been officially stated that the
pending negotiations for this extend
ed term have boon Professionally con-
cluded, but on what material basis
is not mentioned. But It is only pos
sible to conclude anything like q last
ing union between the two great Cen
tral European powers when the long
er "Ausgleich" between Austria and
Hungary has been definitely settled.
Another and very powerful technl-
cal obstacle in the way OF this pro-
jected economic union is the adjust
ment OF the present depreciation in
Austrian currency. The Austrian
crown Is not only like the German
mark, below its ordinary value In re-
iation to the standard in neutral
states, but 1t has also deprecated in
It's relation to the mark. SO long; as
this depreciation continues the Ger
man merchant would be able to buy
Austrian wares cheaply, while the
Austrian would be compelled to pay
dearly in the German market. And
while this standard of values varies.
IN equitable commercial traffic be-
tween the two empires continues i'm
possible and tariffs would be only IL
lusory.
Germany loaned Austria Hungary
In 1914 and 1915 eight hundred mil
lion marks (S20Q 1000 .000) to pay
various Austro-Hungarian state obli-
cations. Besides. there were numer-
Gus private loans and It was hoped
that this would tend to restore The
lcQuilibrium between the two eufrenz7

lect the export tax which the wheat
would have brought had 1t been ex-
ported to the Central powers. The
sum in question is 100000 lei.
Grain exported from Rumania
at present pays an export tax of 500
lei per tension carload, Of which one
half must be paid in gold. The ex-
port tax the Austro-G German Cereal
Commission will pay on its two con-
tracts of 10000 carloads Is 10000
900 lei. In case the S0,000,00O car
loads of the British bureau were OK
ported now, tax OF 40,000.0OO lie
would be due. In the contract made
there is noting said concerning this
tax, and since the wheat purchased
under 1t, say Bratianu's critics and
the agrarians OF Rumania, will be
exported when peace comes. Rumania
is bound to lose these 40,000,000 lei.
because with the re-opening OF the
normal channels OF trade and COM
merce, Rumania must compete with
the other grain producers OF the
world and In doing SO discontinue
its export tax. The British bureau
would then get the wheat without
this tax. while the Central powers
would export the wheat now and en-
rich Rumania by 40,000,000i lei.
1t is asserted here that the Bra
ttanu government has in this manner
made the British government a pres
ent Of 40,000,0O0 lei, to which will
soon be added another 100000
lei to be expended in the erection
OF storages for the wheat bought by
the British. Such a deal, assert the
Conservatives and Agrarians, could
have only political background.
The coming OF the new crop will
largely neutralize the intentions OF
the British contract, It is stated here.
The new crop is expected to be about
244.000 carloads OF which Rumania
for itself will need $4,000 carloads
for seed and about $4,000 carloads
for home consumption, leaving 141.-
900 carloads, or 1.410,000 tons. Of
wheat for export. OF the 1915 crop
some $4,000 carloads are still un-
sold, so is the remainder of forty per
cent of the entire 1915 wheat crop
which the Run1anian government set
aside for home uses, but which will
not be used up. Next. September.
Rumania will therefore have on hand
for export at least $4,000 carloads
Of wheat, with the Central powers as
the only likely purchasers.

WHEAT SALE TO
CAUSE TROUBLE

this time no opportunity of doing
this. The Russian railroads offer the
only route of export and these, owing
to the military situation, are not
available.
The contract made by the British
bureau calls for the removal of the
wheat within six months Of the maxi
ing OF peace. Bratianu's opponents
argue that this means storing the
wheat for a year or more possibly
and that during this time the trans
action will remain unfinished, with
Rumania carrying all the risks that
are involved. Even many Bratianu
partisans see an element of political
and economic danger in this.
To Use Paper Currency.
The wheat will be paid for by the
Rumanian National Bank with paper
currency to the amount of 262 ,000,-
900 lei, the equivalent of 10000, 900
pounds sterling. called for in the con-
tract. The British bureau will cause
the depositing in London bank to
the credit of the Rumanian National
Bank of gold to the value OF one
third Of 100000 pounds sterling.
On this base or security the Ruman-
ian National Bank will issue three
times as much Rumanian lei or to-
tai of 262,000.000.
During the war the gold stock of
this paper currency win remain in
deposit in London. while the Ru-
manian National Bank will have Is
sued Its equivalent in Rumanian pa
per to pay for the wheat bought by
the British bureau. The opposition
here says that this is dangerous
procedure. The British government
1t is asserted. could at any tome Sc
questrate the gold base of the paper
currency involved and thus oblige
the Rumanian government to engage
in a policy or acts contrary to the
best interests Of the country. Ru-
manian credit would be ruined for
many years II the British government
seized the emission basis of 262.-
0O0,0 900 Rumanian paper lie, because
the money would then have no other
value than the wheat held in the
country.
Critics Of the British contract
seem to overlook, however, the fact
that the wheat held in that case by
the Rumanian government would,
under present market conditions,
have approximately the value of the
paper issued. When this was
brought to their attention, the an
swer was given that the $4,000 car
loads OF wheat Of the British con-
tract would then be dumped on a
market. in which already new crop
might be looking for buyers, and that

cies. But It failed to do 80. At the d
end Of last month the Austrian crown
had deprecated SO greatly that for
100 marks. 1880 crowns had to be-
paid, instead Of the normal 1870
crowns in peace times. z
During the recent visit Of the Ger
man minister Of finance. DR.. Helffer4s
ich, in Vienna, new Austro- Hungar-
ian loan was arranged when q NUM-
Der Of German banks agreed to adj
vance Austria Hungary 200 millions
marks ($50, 000, 000) for January
and February and additional sumsEt
later. This sent up the value Of theel
crown somewhat. but 1t still varies9t
below fifteen per cent Of the rate ini'
peace times.
But so long as the standard Of the
crown In relation to the mark Is notti
rendered stable, and the new "Ausll
gleich" between Austria and Hungary
Is not perfected, all attempts tor
bring about the new great central Eua9
ropean political and economic union

Before Transactions Covering
the Sale Will Have Been
Completed.


BUCHAREST, Rumania, April g.
Opponents Of the Bratianu govern
ment here hold the view that the con-
tract for the sale of $4,000 carloads
Of wheat, MADE between the Ruma-
MAN Central Commission and the
British Purchasing Bureau in this
city, will give rise to much trouble
before the transactions covered by 1t
will have been terminated.
The quantity of wheat sold is s0O,-
600 tons. Rumania can store in rail-
road sheds and harbor storages only
100000 tons, leaving OF the British
purchase alone 100000 tons to be
housed in some other manner. Al
present this wheat is still in the
granaries AMI silos of the producers,
but the room taken by It will shortly
be needed by the new crop of about
100000 tons OF wheat alone, not
counting the large quantities of
legumes, barley, rye and oats.
II the British were able to export
the wheat bought, the storage prob
lem would not exist, but there is at
