London, October S.-Great Britain is
expecting Czecho-Slovakia to furnish an
important market for British trade when
more stable economic conditions have
been established in the new republic.
The Board of Trade Journal points out
that Czecho-SiovalSia. which includes b.
hemia, is rich in raw materials, and pos
sesses some of the most important in
dustries in Europe. 1t is estimated that
about 50 per cent of the mines and indus
trial businesses of the old Austro-Hun-
garian empire are now within the boun-
daries OF the republic.
