The Canadian Trade Commission
quotes the following interesting facts
from the report of the British Econo-
mic Mission in Serbia: -
"What Serbia needs Serbia Is able
to pay $or, This may seen strange,
but it is a fact that, apart altogether
from indemnities for the damage done
during the war, the peasant population
and shopkeepers have plenty of money

explanation is simple. The people in
the country during enemy occupation
spent little or nothing on luxuries and
all the while were receiving high
prices for their goods and produce,
They have cold but not bought, anti
are now in a position to buy largely.
Payment in a form neceptable to the
manufacturers would be a difficulty,
and much -benefit would follow the es-
tablishment of a local, British bank.

to withdraw. at an early date enemy
