This prediction has much to do with the willingness of the Administration to slash expenditures for relief on the assumpion that this increased activity will take those off of relief rolls.

The fact that Assistant Attorney-General Arnold has stood up under almost incredible pressure indicates that the prosecution will go forward.

The situation is further complicated with demands for Federal incorporation of trade unions summing from powerful farm organizations.

"Within the confines of the country, about the size of Arizona, live »ome 19,000,000 people, but nearly one-third of them are non-Rumanians. The 13,000,000 Rumanians trace, their ancestry to Roman colonists who intermarried with the inhabitants of the region. The other 8,000,000 includes Germans, Jews, Hungarians, Bulgarians, .Russians, Yugoslavs, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Armenians, Greeks, Turks, Tatars and gypsies. Bif Powers Interested. "Germany, France and England all recently have been displaying interest in Rumania through trade agreements or political negotiations, and one of the chief reasons for this interest is oil. Rumania is second only to the U. S. S. R. as a European producer of oil and other petroleum products. "During the World wac, when German armies overwhelmed Rumanian defenses and took over a large part of the country, the Rumanian oil wells were wrecked and workmen capable of repairing them evacuated. The industry has been rebuilt, and Rumania now is sixth among the world's oil-producing nations. . "Grain comes next to oil on the list of raw materials that make Rumania important. Americans would feel at home in many parts of the country for they would see broad acres of Indian corn, introduced from the New World. Corn has become the staple food of the Rumanian peasant, eaten in a form x>f mush. "Wheat, on the other hand, is an suffered two weeks ago?

Besides grain, Rumania supplies timber to the international trade. Salt is mined in the north near Bucovina, from deposits worked by/ the ancient Romans. Zinc, copper, iron and lead are other mineral resources. Sheep and cattle are exported. ' Germany Best Customer. "Germany took th£ largest proportion of Rumanian exports, about 26 per cent, in 1938, with Great Britain second, while Czechoslovakia, before its dismemberment, was third. A third of Rumania's 1938 imports were from Germany. In return for raw materials, Rumania's industrialized customers send her manufactured goods, machinery, steel, rubber and automobiles. American trade with Rumania is of minor importance. > "Rumania acquired about half of its heterogeneous population and nearly two-thirds of its present territory as a result of treaties after the World war of 1914-13. Many of the 'foreigners' have retained their national customs, resulting in numerous alien 'islands.* "Trade, especially in northern Rumania, is chiefly in the hands of the nearly one million Jews. More than a million and a half Hungarians and nearly a million Germans live in western and central Rumania. In the northern and eastern sections are about half a million Ruthenians, 100,000 Russians, the same number of Turks and 200,000 Tatars. "East meets west in Ruminia. Mosques, minarets and fezzes give the appearance of a Turkish town to Balcic, a port on the Black sea. In regions of Rumania adjoining Bulgaria have settled about 300,000 Bulgarians, and the same number of gypsies form a colorful foreign element. Many of the gypsies are actors. Some sell flowers in the cities, while others roam the country as musicians, occasionally accompanied by trained bears. Braila, the home town of the writer of gypsy tales, Conrad Bercovici, is one of the oldest gypsy settlements." embraces a total area of some 750 square miles.

Statistics show that the life span of women has been extended 12 years in the last three decades. This prolonged youth is, to a large measure, due to labor-saving devices developed by American Industry.
