Bootleggging Bread From Belgium
To France Is Profitable Occupation

Observation-Disclosures bread is
one Of the profitable, If illegal, occupa-
tons along the Franco Belgian frontier
Belgium does not exact duty on wheat
or -four. whereas France not only has
high duty but requires the use Of home
grown wheat TO the extent OF 30 per
cent. Bread is cheap in Belgium and
expensive in France, so bootleggers find
10 worthwhile TO smuggle bread over the
line. Bread takes up lot OF room and
is hard 10 conceal but the bread boot
leEgers find a way. There is another
form Of minor bread bootlegging which
officials see but do not prevent. This
is done by the thousands of Belgian
workmen who commute TO France.
These workmen take their bread and
wine with them, but they do not have
as voracious appetites as the size OF the
dinner pals would indicate, for loaf
or two is often brought along for
French workman.
Belgium, as an exporting country, be-
lieveS In low tariffs. Cheap food and
cheap raw materials mean cheap labor
and low cost Of production. This policy
Of tariff for revenue only has proved
wise for Belgium. The world crisis is
lust beginning to be felt here and the
prospects are Belgium will be over the
worst Of 1t as soon as any other country.
Last year was not a bad year for
Belgium AS compared to 1929 imports
fell of about ia per cent in volume
and over 10 per cent in value. Exports
decreased about per cent in volume
and about Is per cent in value. Bel
GUM imported considerably less raw
material and also exported less raw ma
ferial, half finished, and finished goods
during 1880 than during 1929. Belgian
colonies are considered as foreign IN
oficial figures on imports and exports.
end this explains some Of the nnfavoT-
eole balance Of trade, as huge quantities
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-05-10

OF raw materials are imported from the
Kongo without any corresponding
amount Of goods being sold in Africa.
Trade with France was unfavorable dur
ing 1929. but during 1880 the balance
was in favor OF Belgium. Belgium buys
now almost as much OF Germany as of
France, but exports to Germany are
comparatively low.
Prospects for 1881 are not so bright.
Coal, iron, textiles, all seem in a bad
way, with no signs Of improvement.
Belgians are fortunate in having low
tariffs. They are in a position to profit
Immediately by lower commodity prices.
The cost of living Is going down, and
this has Influenced the government TO
decrease wages of employees by 6 per
cent. Retail prices are not falling as
rapidly as the wholesale index, but they
are falling. A bad feature and one that
Is holding up the cost Of production, Is
the increase Of social charges under
SocialiStic government leadership. It is
estimated that the tax levied on wages
for social charges has already removed
the margin in labor costs as compared
with Great Britain. This has about
nullihed the removal of duty on gloves
entering Great Britain. Employers also
complain that workers now show the
lack Of stimulus to. work and save.
They claim efficiency is going down.
All traces of currency imitation and
reform have not been removed in
Belgium, but the drive back to normal
Is making headway. The country is
certain TO return eventually to its old
status as q low wage, low price. low
cost Of production country. Bread, the
main staple for workmen, costs only
2H cents per pound. This Is one-half
the price in France and explains the
bread bootlegging across the frontier.

in Coburg is the old man, white-bearded,
not;ceably long -noSed, who was once
Car of Bulgaria and the Simplest diplo-
mat-after the disappearance of Abdul
the Damned of Turkey-in Europe.
An absolute sovereign of his kingdom,
he feathered his nest richly, and it has
always been supposed that when he fled
he took with him the major portion Of
a fortune estimated at around $50, 000,-
600. But he lives modestly, gives moth
ing away and is said to have declined
to aid Boris of Bulgaria when 1t was
brought to his notice that his unfortu-
nate young successor had only a bare
$35, 900 a year on which to keep up the
state of kingship.
He was always a tri1e eccentric, and
few months pass now without some new
story about him going the rounds.
Rupprecht, head Of the House OF
Wittelsbach and regarded by BavaTtan
peasants and mis- own encourage as the
peror of a Germany cured of its re-
publican malady, lives with his aunt,
Princess Arnulf of Bavaria, and his
children in his castle in Berchtesgaden,
through the tall windows Of which one
sees mountains topped With snow that
never melts. He is a tall, handsome
man with gray hair parted in the mid
die, gray muStache, penetrating eyes,
an active mind and views upon the sub
ject of European affairs which from
time to time he enunciates with vigor.
Dresses in Civilian Clothes.
He has tact. He eschews military
uniform and dresses in civilian clothes,
and although he might assert his claim
to the title of de jure king, he continues
to designate himself Crown Prince, the
title that was his at the time of the
