about the same amounts as Germany imports and his might be available to Germany if the long haul rom the south and the Black Sea region, where the
 surplus is mostly grown did not prove too severe a burden
 Of industrial raw materials Russia has no surplus output in most cases and actually is short of many IS result of her continued efforts to expand her own industrial activity She does export manganese, as ,estos oil timber and some cotton Manganese could probably be furnished in whatever amounts Germany needs The other important material, oil, she leeds herself in ever-ncreasing quantities, having indeed been obliged to curtail her exports to only 100000 tons last year from about 6000O0O i'll 1852 Germany despite her efforts to develop a synthetic industry still requires around 50000o0 tons year in peace-time alone, and of course far more during time of war Russia apparently could meet Germany's oil needs and for that matter those of most other industrial raw materials only at sacrifice to herself.
 A second obstacle is the transportation problem Shipment via Lenngrad and the Baltic is closed in winter The other ra-water route, via the Black Sea and the Danube depends the attitude of Tur- kev Rumania and the other countries of Southeastern Europe Direct railroad connections will doubtless be made across Poland and will probably prove the most useful of the three alternatives. The Russian railway system throughout the postwar years how ever has been one of the weakest links in the Russian industrial system The wider Russian gauge would preclude use of German rolling stock.
 further problem is that of paying to Russia for Germanys purchases Russia will scarcely extend credit at least if the transaction is on any commercial basis-the German Russian trade treaty which pre- ceded the aggression pact indeed provided rather for credit by Germany to finance Russian purchases will have largely with exports of her own goods.

This consideration gives portentousness to the enlgmauc relation of the two dctators and focuses attention on their joint maneuvers.
