And even If one good crop alone

These remarks OF one OF the leaders
of Rumanian finance, although orig
inally addressed to the people Of
France, should fHd their echo in the
United States as well. Rumania has
never failed to live up to her obliga-
tions before the war, and where is the
European state which to-day could
settle its debts without obtaining pro-
longations and new foreign loans?
With its national aspirations achieved,
With an admirable army guarding its
frontiers and insuring law and order,

Export-Irnport Inequality

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The statement has been repeat
edly made that exports from this coua-
try to any foreign country can only be
paid for By imports from that foreign
country; that Germany. for example,
cannot buy raw materials unless We
buy al equal amount of her finished
products. To sayttat this argument is
fallacious is putting Il mildly. There
probably never was time when the
exports from any county to another
country exactly equailed the imports
from that country. Sometimes they 90
not even approximate each other.
For 4 nun5er o. years re bought, fer
example, much more from South Amer

Rumania Hard at Work
Needs Outside Aid for Exploitation of Natural Riches
The Blending of Races
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The decrease in the exchange
OF the Rumanian leu is a disturbing
factor 10 those who are striving to
build up intimate trade relations be-
tween the United States and its late
associate in arms, Rumania.
Permit me to quote, in explanation
Of this decrease, from a communication
by Aristide Blank, published recently
in "Le Temps" of Paris.
"Rumania is often accused" NJ
Blank writes, "of bad internal admin
istration. One forgets that we have to
blend, in Pennsylvania, Bukovina and
Bessarabia, three civilizations, Austri-
an, Hungarian and Slav, into one, the
Latin civilization, which alone vas al
lowed to develop freely in the old
realm. while Che neighboring PROV
inces hardly dared to talk their ances-
tral language.
Moreover, these province. are in
habited by clinical minorities in whose
treatment Rumania must exercise p
great deal OF tact. Under the circum-
stances the best administration in the
world could not do much better. in such
a short time, than our public admins
traitors are at present doing. No one
pretends that errors have not been nor
will again be committed but the Ru-
manians have proved that they do not
refuse to introduce continual improve
ments.
Another thing which we are re-
preached for is the poor working con-
dition Of our railroads and our postal
and telegraphic system. 1t should be
remembered that on the day after the
war we were LETT almost without any
means Of transportation and that our
engines had been sent to Germany,
and were never returned.
ut should also be remembered that
our telegraph wires were systematical-
ly destroyed by Mackensen's troops at
the time Of the evacuation And are
we not already giving proof of great
effort by dispatchine to-day, in twenty
hours, telegram from Bucharest to
Paris, instead of five and ten days nee
essary at the time Of the armistice2
Are we so much to blame when we
again have in working order 1900 en-
gines, while we expect to have 1000
by the month OF April, 1922, notvith-
standing that our requirements call for
total OF 5000 engines and that no
one offers Us any on credit? In order
to obtain these engines we need either
credit or money; the sala of our
products or loan. And now we refer
to another grievance which we often
hear formulated against us: Why don't
YOU pav your debts? IS it not regret
table that your treasury bonds should
be offered at excessively low rates =?
Are your riches-which all who have
Visited Rumania speak of-only 4
legend? p
NO. onr riches arc real, but they
require exploitation, mostly through
our work and 9 little by the aid Of
your money. We cannot extract our
oils without boring material and de-
livery pipes to the sea, which you do
not give us, even when a large compen-
sation for your efforts is, assured you.
We cannot make use Of our millions Of

No Nitrate Fields in These Chilean Provinces-Replv
to American Ex-Consul
10 the Editor of The Tribunes

10 the Editor OF The Tribunes
Sir: May call attention TO certain
inaccuracies in a recent article by
Arnold MacKay about the question OF
Tacna-Arics? 1t is absolutely inexact
to say that nitrate fields exist in
Tacna and africa. This statement has
repeatedly been made in the American
press to influence public opinion. To
say that nitrate plants exist in Tacns
and africa IS very much like asserting
that the Island OF Manhattan is the de-
pository of coal mines and oil wells.
The nitrate feldS are found in the
provinces OF Tarapaca and Antofagasta.
which are under the absolute sover-
eighty OF Chile and in no way involved
with the plebiscite affecting Tacna and
africa. This is made patent in Mr.. Mac
Kay's consular report. a quotation from
which appears below and which was
written in 1919. The nitrate fields are
not compriserd within the disputed ter
ritory.

asserts that, following the European

OF its completely. The same ex-consul
OF the United States in Antofagasta,
Chile, apprised his government IN 1919
that the total paralyzation OF the nj

general exodus Of workmen from those
regions, which is in fact true.
In his report he wrote: "Ths labor
