over last year.
Rumania is fertile field for Ameri-
can exporters. Greater Rumania, as it
is known to-day, has about 100000
acres of forest lands, and under the
new system organized by the govern
ment vast army of workers will be
employed cutting woods suitable for
export, and everything possible is be-
ing done to expedite movement to the
seaboard. A bonus is being granted to
the men and women engaged in this
work The annexation of Bessarabia
places Rumania in a unique position to
open up trade with Soviet Russia, and
great depots are being established
along the border, where manufactures
and agricultural products will be ex-
changed for Russian commodities and
cereals.
The large wheat fields, and particu-
larly the corn fields, of Rumania are
very productive and create an enor-
nous demand for modern agricultural
machinery. The transportation PROB
lem has been solved, and, in addition
to excellent service on the Danube
River, where goods are carried back
and forth to the countries further
north, the port of Constanza, on the
Black Sea, has been equipped with
enormous cranes for heavy lifts, and
railroad facilities are up to date The
marriage OF Rumanian princess to
the King Of the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes will have tremendous effect
in bringing about better trade rela-
tions between these countries and
peace for long time in the Balkans.
Rumania controls the mouth of the
Danube, great artery of trade in
Europe at the present time. She is an
agricultural country and the govern
nent has now established control of
all wheat exports and has placed a tax
on peas, beans, lentils and other cereals
and regulates prices to prevent over
production. Rumania offers a potential
market for all classes of manufacturers.
Although more than 100000 acres
are in wheat, with an average harvest
of 100000 900 bushels, corn is king, and
with the introduction of modern meth
DDS Rumania will be in position to
export large lots to other countries.

a ready market for coal there for some
time to come.
