of hops. So there is little interchange
of agricultural products.
Austria however, is the chief source
of coal and iron production. and con-
sequently of manufactured articles.
Out of 50.000.000 tons of coal, including
anthracite and the brown coal of Bo-
hemia, Austria produces 40.000,0o0 tons
annually. The principal iron ore de-
posits of the dual empire are also in
Austria, principally in the Syrian Alps
and in Bohemia. The Romans drew on
this Syrian iron ore 1000 years ago.
Out of a total production of pig iron
exceeding 100000 tons, Austria ac-
counts for more than two-thirds. This
means that most of the iron and steel
products of the dual empire are Aus
trian products.
Hungary. Notwithstanding her agri-
cultural wealth, has industrial aspira-
tions. Distance between the iron ore
beds and the coal fields makes difficult
the development of iron and steel in
dustries. yet that is within the pur-
view of her national policy. There is
also the desire to develop other manu-
featuring industries. At present Hum
gary get not only iron and steel
leather goods. electrical apparatus and
a large variety of minor manufactures
from Austria
The exchange of her agricultural
products for these manufactured arti-
cles does not satisfy the national aspira-
tions. Yet it has not been proposed to
restore the customs frontier against
Austria in order to- develop them. Rath-
