BIZ Mail to the Evening Public LEDGER
COnstantinople, April 25.-Iioward
Heinz, former federal food adminstra-
tor for Pennsylvania and nov director
of the American Food Mission to
Southeastern Europe, returned yester-
day from visit to Bulgaria. While in
Sofia he negotiated for the sale to Bull
garia of more than $4,000 900 worth of
American foodstuffs receiving in return
gold to the value of SO 200 900. In an
interview at the American embassy Mr..
Heinz said
'Since the signing Of the armistice,
Bulgaria, like Germany has been eagerly
clamoring for food from abroad as
means of preventing uprisings and gem
eral disorder among her people, and also
like Germany, has been shut off as an
enemy nation from all participation in
the allied world relief.
THE needs of Bulgaria were relative
ly less than those of Germany because
its population is chiefly engaged in agri-
cultural rather than industrial pursuits,
and accordingly the purchase of food
from outside sources constitutes less
formidable problem. 1t has been a prob
lem, nevertheless. with q sadly depre-
ciated currency as the country's chief
financial resource. Il very inadequate
reserve of gold in the national treasury
and no exports during the last four
years through which to establish n basis
Of foreign credit.
ITO relieve these straits. America
was the only market to which Bulgaria
could come for her food purchases, but
with money exchange subject to wide
fluctuatiou even among the most stable
of European currcncies, the only pur
chasing medium that is regarded safe
in America is the good American dollar
or its equivalent in gold.
Bulgaria's Dilemma
"Thus. Bulgaria has been bcsct with
many difficulties. On the one hand a
starving and restless people, on the
other no credit abroad and cur
rency at home that would lose much
of it's already low purchasing power if
the little gold reserve behind it was still
further depleted For many weeks she
has struggled between the two horns of
her dilemma making futile efforts to
accomplish some kind of deal that
might save her from threatened rev
olution and at the same time save her
small hoard of hard cash Finally mat
ters appeared to have reached n point
of near desperation. whereupon it seemed
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-06-06

came away from the interview with q
feeling that once the present crisis is
passed and peace settled, the future OF
Bulgaria will be fuller Of promises under
the new regime than it ever could have
been with continuance of the throne
of his father, the last incumbent, now
in exile in Germany.
"The men of Bulgaria are sub
stantial- looking lot, and hard workers,
and, like the Bulgarian women. are
lovers of bright coiors in dress, which
makes any native group picturesque in
the extreme. The people are essen
tally democratic in spirit, and while
Bulgaria has been warlike nation, it
is now clearly nation tired of war
and ready to welcome permenant
guaranteed peace and return to indus
try even though peace may bring with
it some territorial losses and other hu-
miliations."

Boris a Democratic Ruler

tions with the Bulgarian Government
by correspondence and undertake the
securing of final settlement one way
or the other by personal visit.
Having arrived at this conclusion I
left Constantinople for Sofia. proceed
ing through European Turkey to Adria-
nople. On my way through this north
ern section of Turkey | observed much
land under cultivation, mostly in small
patches, but apparently productive, and
many sheep scattered over the country
side, but on the second day in Bulgaria
| was Immediately impressed by a
marked superiority of conditions in the
fertile valleys of that country with its
pcasantry of sturdy tOilers and its many
droves of cattle and hogs as well as
sheep. Given fair conditions it is safe
to say that neither Turkey nor Bull
garia will be in starving condition
after the present season.
Umbrella Priced ut $50
"Arriving at Sofia at the close of
the second day I made a brief evening
tour of inspection. during which l no.

in good spirits and the cafes well filed,
but chiefly by men only. The shops,
however. were virtually empty of goods
of all kinds, and prices. so far as my
inquiry went. were extremely high. For
example was asked to pay for cheap
umbrella to protect me from the rain
that was falling, the equivalent of thirty
American dollars, and decided it was
cheaper to take slight wetting.

The $4,000 a Year Man

tcopyrsh. 1913. BY Frana ,,r.a.,

The $4,000 year man is more likely
TO be earning his salary than the $4,000
year man.
For he not only earns his own wages. but
helps all under him to earn theirs.
If he were not there, getting that $4,000
year. you would not be earning your
50. 800. because there would be no profits to
pay you with.
Cut out the $4,000 year man. and you'd
have to cut the $4,000 a year man to
SIS. 600. the $1,000 a year man to $500.
and the $1,000 year man would be pound
ing the sidewalk looking for Job.
There's Just one reason why he gets
S25. 900 n year: it is because he brings in
$4,000 q year or so to the man that pays
him.
The $4,000 year man does not leave his
pick suspended in the air when the 6
o'clock whistle blows and go home What
ever he is at he finishes.
He is not afraid to accept responsibilities.
He does not want to be guaranteed an
income.
He does not belong to any organization
the purpose of which is to insure him a GER
tain wage and certain working conditions.
He does not talk much about his rights.
He may not be a good locker. good
