premier went on to say, but the
money Is lacking for development.
Our payments to the allies amount to
$4,000, 800 leva annually, and we are
meeting them fully and promptly. The
support of the reparational and mil
itary commissions alone costs us 3d.
100000 leva. To Serbia we are paying
116.000,0oo annually. in addition to her
share of the general .reparations.
There is nothing left for improve
ments of any kind, either agricultural,
railway or educational.
And one of our most distressing
burdens at the present time, as winter
approaches, is the constant flow of
refugees from Macedonia, Thrace and
the Dobrudja. The shortage of food
and of money makes this problem pc
culiarly distressing.
I'VE are doing our best to prevent
further depreciation of the lev. which
Is now stabilized at 1877 to the dollar.

not impossible unless we receive tho

lies our hope of salvation"
