They should bear in mind that tendency in Poland is to become economically inde- pendent of Germany, sentimental reasons, but because bitter experience has taught Poland that Germany by flooding Polish markets with pro- ducts, has always endeavored kill Poland's hlerce ana industry and thus prevent what might otherwise develop into dangerous com petition. American concerns endeavoring establish them selves Tn the Polish market through their Russian ganizations are extremely liable handicap because of the tendency Poland become equally economically independent
 American concerns should erect new factories in Poland In this way they will gain full conff- dence of the Polish people. profit from lower labor costs avoid import duties and Russian markets which due to economic disorder, cannot be supplied by their own industries Industrial enter prses in Poland, I certain from my knowledge of the Polish people and from the spirit actu- atlng me defense ot their newly won freedom, will be free from disturbances Bolshevik tendency; on the contrary the Polish government has all to give full assistance all such undertakings
 
 ''The newly created enterprises for the develop ment of electrical power and the manufacture of electrical machinery and supplies at the outset will be unable to manufacture heavy and elaborate ma chinery such as steam turbans large transformers. etc, but they will at be able to manufacture machines and apparatus of single type large quantities.
 Tn 1910 there were twelve plants manufactl1r- ing electrical supplies in Poland, with approximately and supply apparatus, electrical cable fila ment and carbon lamps, cartoons for arc lamps in suating tubes, electrical other cleo supplies.
 But little effort has ever been made to develop hydro-electrc power, and this represents trenen- field American investor. According to recent calculations, hydraulic in Ga Hcia alone, which could be rapidly utilized amounts to 89O,4O9 horsepower of which far only 35, 900 horsepower has been developed. The courses in Southern Poland have pronounced incline form gigantic and cheap of energy By utilizing the tributaries the VisuIa Dniester and Prut Rivers in Galicia a permanent of 5OO- 900 horsepower would be easily obtainable. Three ffths of this total is available tri- butaries to the Vistula.
 Another great field electrical development in Poland is in the industry. n former Rus sian Poland alone there in 1912, sugar factories and refinertes yearly production of CTotal value approximately S35.OOOOOO) The number of these constantly growing and the newly erected establishments of he m design. existing factories are also being transformed according require electrically driven by steam tur- pines.

 Poland has competent engt- electricity, a fact well known all those Russian industry. Most of leading engineers in Russia in all branches try Poles, will desire to return to independent country. where large will open for their successful activities
