BELGIUM'S PLACE IN INDUSTRY AND TRADE. i Out of All Proportions to Country’s Size and Population. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, D. C,, Aug. 19.—Beigi- um, whose identity as a producing unit has been more utterly destroyed than its identity as a nation, held a most important place in the pre-war world of industry and trade, and a place, too, out of all proportion to the coun- try’s size and its population. A con- sideration of the economic position of Belglum before the war is contained in a bulietin just prepared by the tional Geographic Society. The b letin reads as follows: “Belgium’s contribution to interna- tional business was distinctive, and the volume of its trade was large and growing. This little corner of Europe contributed largely to the stability of the markets of the world by its won- derfui ability for meeting the flerce competition of modern foreign trade. Organized for the last degree of effi- ciency, a small land overcrowded with factories and with workers, in no, cor- ner of which one might c the smoke &f chimneys, the throb of ma- chinery and the rattle of freight, Bel- gium sent its products, much as Lon- don sent its money, to whatever mar- ket in the world that might show some little deficiency by a slight rise in price. “Negligible 1n size it yet stood eighth on the list of the wealth of na- tions and sixth on the list of national totals of foreign trade.

Its mills were a ceaseless hum from boundary to boundary, and even its sandy wastes grew vegetables and fruits. “Belgium was frugal, industriow efficicnt. It was wealthy and progres- sive. It had more railway mileage per unit of territory than any other country in the world. It was among the lands least afflicted with drone. It was a country in which nothing went to waste, and with but one na- tional luxury—its capital. In Brus- sels, money was spent for things of pride; in all the rest of the land be- side, it was put into the soil, raw materials and labor. “More than 3§ per cent. of the coun- try was under cultivation. About 18 per cent. was forest land. The re- maining area was a Pittsburg of in- dustry, and upon it people lived about 1,300 to the square mile. The foun- dations of Belgium’s marvelous suc- cesss lay In its resources in coal and iron, in its stores of materials for mak- ing good glass, in its thrift, in the in- teneeness of its developement, in the internal facilities of water and rail communication, in short haul, and in its highly skilled labor. More than one-seventh of the population of Bel- gium were wage-earners before the war, three-fifths being employed in factories. The wage-scale of these workers was slightly lower than those in beth France and Germany. “Steady and unsensational, as the people back of it, the trade of Bel- gium grew year by year, always doing just a little better than merely meeting the increasingly keen competitior of other lands. The staples of this trade were machinery, iron, steel, coal, glass, electrical appliances, cutlery. flax and textiles. Every year, the population has grown, and the increase has most- ly ali been heid at home. Belglans have not imigrated as a rule, but have met the problems of greater popula- tion by greater productivi Considerable Belgium capital, however, has n sent abroad, an important sinking fund or surplus created by this small nation's eperzy.” Frederic! their golden wedding September 2.
