Belgian Industry
Begins to Revive;
More Coal Mined
Several Years Needed to
Repair Iron Works, Says
Brussels Report; Farming
Increases; Capital Wanted
Neto York Tribune
Washington Bureau

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-The present
industrial situation in Belgium was
outlined IN a statement obtained from
the Brussels government by the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States for reference use at the inter
national trade conference at Atlantic
City October 20, and made public to-
day.
The statement said the coal mines,
although damaged by the Germans,
were recovering rapidly. Their outpst
is now 81 per cent of the 1914 total and
VIII soon reach pre-ar figures. Bel
GUM IS already able to export 800, 900
tons Of coal monthly, assuring an an
nual income Of s40,000,00O the state
ment said
Several years VIII be required to re-
pair the iron works, dismantled and
destroyed by the enemy. Of the fifty
two blast furnaces in Belgium before
the war the statement said, twenty
three were wiped out and ten wrecked
Nine furnaces are working now. The
statement adds;
"A scheme has been devised to com
bine all the IRON works, based on d.
vision Of labor each works concen-
tratlng on special product"
Glass is being exported, sufficient
porcelain is being manufactured to
supply the Belgian demand, and the
production Of shoes is almost equal to
pre-war conditions.
Agricultural crops would be almost
normal this year the statement said
adding: Lands lying in the war zone
viii be taken over by the government,
which viii work the farms and turn
them back to the owners in good con-
dition. The government vii. pay the
owners per cent interest on the pre-
way value Of the property while work
ing it; it is also prepared to buy out
right if the owners wish to SELL
The statement said rapid progress
had been made toward rebuilding the
railroads destroyed by the Germans,
who have restored most of the rolling
stock taken during the war. Freight
and passenger traffic are again normal
As q result Of the increased cost Of
living. the statement continues, sal
aries We're doubled, on the average
The statement concludes:
Prospects for Belgium are good, but
she still needs machines and raw prod
ucts. Above all, she needs capital to
help in her complete recovery The
loan Of S5o,00O000, which Will soon
be issued, VIII undoubtedly be great
success, as the American investors
realize tha the country, which bore
its trials during the war with SO much
fortitude has started with such a Won
derful energy the work of its recon
struction"
