FOREIGN CAPITAL
WANTED IN RUMANIA
Formal Statement is Issued to
Clarity Stand of Nation To-
ward Outside Investments

BUCHAREST, Sept. s.-De-
spite the mining legislation, which
has elected the protests of the Ain
erican, British, French, Dutch and
Belgian ministers on the ground
that it is "confiscatory," V. Brati-
ano, minister of finance, has made
the following statement on the at
titude of his government toward
foreign capital:
81 have never offered obstacles
to the entrance of foreign capital
into Rumania, but l have insisted
that it must operate on conditions
compatible with the economic in.
dependence of the country.
Foreign capital is welcome in
Rumania. But we do not wish 70
see our own capital shut out bv
foreign investments. Foreign en-
terprises that have no regard for
our forces of cooperation and
which desire to utilize our natural
resources as. those of Turkey were
utilized before the war, cannor
find favorable field for their ac-
tivities in Rumania.
Experience has shown tina,
only by reasonable participation Of
Rumanian capital can our natural
resources be soundly developed.
Such participation is the object cf
the mining legislation which Enc
government is putting through
parliament"

various members of council and
heads OF city departments that the
entire area paved with wood blocks
be torn up and repaved. The cost
of this would, of course, be very
heavy, and certain repairs have
been suggested by others as, per-
haps, sufficient to remedy the sita-
alton for a number of years to
come Among these suggestions is
one that the gutter lines to dis
lance of several feet on each side
of the street be re-paved with brick,
leaving wood blocks in the center Of
the streets, wherever these are
sufficiently preserved to be useful
as pavement.
Mayor Poole stated today that in
order to give the greatest possible
information TO the gathering he had
prepared financial statement Of
the city's affairs, and that this
statement will be read before
Thursday nights gathering. That
something should be dore toward
remedying the existing situation IS
generally admitted, and the meet
ing Thursday night will he asked to
indicate what should be done.
1t is indicated that City Engineer
Charles Wheatley will have a re-
port to make to the meeting, and
that in this report he will set forth
his views as to the most feasible
manner of repairing. or re-paving
those streets where conditions have
recently become so worn and dam
aged as to necessitate immediate re-
pair of re-laying. The recommen.
dations to be made in this report
have not yet been made public.
