Poland's industries increased tremen-
dously from 200 to 1914 and improved
machinery was being used, but, while
they suffered from war vandalism slight
requirements in the way Of brass parts,
or valves and key apparatus, will set
many of them in motion. The chief
industries of the country are agriculture,
such rs sugar factories, spirit distilleries,
flour mills, textiles-cotton and wool
iron and STEEL lumber, paper, chemicals
and leather.
Five million tons of beets were worked
yearly before the war in ninety-one
sugar factories: The textile industry
is concentrated chiefly in the region of
industrial centre before the war, often
being called a second Manchester. The
iron and steel industry is chiefly con-
centrated in Congress Poland and Upper
Silesia. A highly developed refining in
d,istry hourishes in the regions of the
oil fields, and tho lumber industry is
highly developed in Russian Polands' and
Austrian Poland. The paper industry is
rather limited, and the chemical indus
try is confined exclusively to the pro-
duction of fertilizers for agriculture.
The writer says that the waterways
Of which there are about 10000 miles
that can be utilized will form an important
means OF transportation. but the railway
facilities are rather deficient.
One of the most perplexing situations
that confronted the republic was the un-
settled currency system. The country
was flooded with the money of all bor-
dering countries. II has decided 20 adopt
the franc as the official medium Of ex-
change.
