Despite the BoIshevik tendencies of the coun- tries surrounding Poland, the Commercial and In dustrial Bureau of the Polish National Department is fully convinced of Poland's stability and believes that within a few months the country will be in sufficiently settled conGson to afford complete pro lection the lives and property of its and for eign interests. Furthermore, Poland is to com prise the territories with an ndisputable majority of Polish population, which means not only West Prussia with seaport of Gdansk (Danzig), but Gaica with it's rich oil fields and the waterpower of the Carpathian Mountains, also Siesia with its tre mendous coal fields and. highly developed mining and industrial districts
 The Commercial and Industrial the Polish National Department has therefore prepared elaborate data relative to the opportunities offered American investors in the identification of Po- land erecting large electrical stations hitting this power the railroads and to the in dustriaI centers. In the compilation of this data cietv of Polish Engineers and Business Men, of which Stephen de Csesznak, publisher of Export American Industries is President

George Fuda- kowsli, Manager of the Bureau, calls attention to Poland s a idea. It widely discussed in detail by Polish engineers many parts under different governments and the economic policy of Russia, Germany and Austria prevented being carried out
 One of PoIand's greatest needs is the modern de- yeIopment and full exploitation of it's coal mines. which have a total capacity of approximately 9433 billion tons of coal situated in the so-called Polish Sesian coal basin which has total area of approX

 The main problem which this Bureau desires present to American is he development power Polish Silesan coal districts transmitting the main industrial centers in the vicinity Of Lodz and Warsaw, carrying distance of only electric power distribution the mining with industrial estab- lishments. but it will also permit supplying other industrial agricultural establishments through country.
 ''The enormous opportunities offered be best judged when it is stated that in 1910, under divided government, the constituting present republic of Poland reached industrial output $4O,00O,6GO. These enterprises gave employment to 9O0OOO men, scattered through represent but small proportion of the possibilities in Poland. Under the old regime, agriculture industry nsufficiently developed severe economic conditions under foreign domination com pelled the Poles to emigrate in America and Germany. Under the regime of the government, is expected these conditions will be entirely changed that industrial and agri- the abe-bodied in the This able Poland only to take of her needs. but to produce surplus for export Russia and other nearby markets.
