to buy heavily, especially textiles.
The new German protectorate
government then took a firmer grip
On business. Textile sales were
limited to so per cent of 1887 bust
ness and gradually Germany,s in
creasing war needs sapped the raw
material reserves. The textile in
dustry went on a 26-hour- a week
basis.
Other Industries Hit.
The leather industry similarly was
hit while glass and porcelain fac
tories, which depended almost
wholly on exports, especially to the
United States, shortened their work
week.
Those thrown out of work either
were taken to Germany or went on
the: dole. Official unemployment
returns show only 5000 unemployed
in December, but the acual figure
was said to be nearer 100000.
Ofdcial foreign trade figures were
not furnished. Businessmen, how
ever, said Czech foreign trade had
dwindled rapidly the last six months.
For one thing, Czecho-Slovakia's
once rich trade with the United
States was stopped overnight when
the Washington administration de-
cided to penalize Czech goods, as 1t
does German goods, with counter
ports dropped one-half.
ShrouS ocfiv,oo{er i,,L;oo&~ AI..I
exports fell thirds below nor
NAL in September, 1899, and i'm
IMPORTS dropped only-half
Accumulated Capital Waning.
For months, these estimates indi-
cate, the Czechs have been living
from accumulated capital which
now is about exhausted. Balances
held abroad are being consumed, so
future imports will be even more
difficult.
From Germany the protectorate
cannot obtain raw materials or
foods, excepting insofar as these
materials are made up into things
the Reich needs. For products sold
to the Reich, the Czechs are paid
in reichsmarks or barter, instead
OF in gold or foreign exchange which
could be used to buy materials
abroad.
AS far as industry is concerned,
the tendency is toward co-ordina-
ton with the Reich's war economy
plan in the hope that Czech fac
tories will be kept running by allot-
ments of raw materials for prod
ucts the Reich wants and toward
development of artificial materials
such as fabrics. Two factories for
production of artificial fibers are
planned.

ByCzech Economy
In Fight for Life
Artificial Materials
After Nozi Model
May Offer Solution

BY MELVIN X. WHITELEATHER,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
PRAGUE.-Czechs enter 1910 in a
lively bout with their economic ex-
istence.
With raw material reserves ex-
hausted and importation next to i'm
possible, industry and economy in
general face far-reaching over
hauling.
Artificial materials after the Nazi
model and coordination with Ger
man industry appear to many
Czechs to be the only solution if
their rump state is to survive
economically.
Prices have risen on an average
of % per cent, according to three
surveys, since Germany made a
protectorate of Bohemia and Mo-
ravia, with some necessities up as
much as so to 80 per cent.
The Germans are striving to raise
CIle living leVel.
Wages of certain classes have
been boosted, but in the opinion of
Walter Schroeder, a member of the
German protectorate government,
whose special field is prices, the in
creases have not quite covered the
increased living cost.
Monthly Wages Boosted,
Monthly wages of employees in
commerce, banks, insurance and
public offices were jumped on De-
cember l, 1889, from 2 per cent to
20 per cent with minimum of 600
crowns ($2280) and dismissals
forbidden.
Those earning under 2,10O crowns
($71.80) monthly received 20 per
cent boosts. Those earning between
2,l00 crowns and 5000 crowns
(S114 were given graduated bene-
fits down to 2 per cent for 5000
crowns.
But the number of things it is
possible to buy with these increased
wages is diminishing because of the
pduClty OF raw materials ana the
absence of foreign trade.
The only possible steady inflow OF
goods from abroad is from Ger
many (although the border between
Bohemia and Moravia and the
Reich still exists and the Reich is
shorthanded.
Three-Year Supply.

lapsed under the weight of the Nazi
ideal for more healthy Central
Europe. economists calculated raw

supply for such essentials as cotton,
