The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 4/Czechoslovakia (The Commercial)

CZECHOSLOVAKIA

is proceeding to reorganize its industry and foreign trade along the most sensible lines. The Government has created a Ministry for Foreign Commerce, designed to stimulate overseas business and to co-ordinate the various manufacturers, exporters, importers and commercial bodies to the end that wheels of trade will revolve swiftly and smoothly.

A determined campaign is to be waged against the relabeling by German and Austrian exporters of goods manufactured in Czechoslovakia. International markets will be openly sought and the middlemen of Vienna and Berlin will be entirely eliminated. The United States and Great Britain are expected to absorb the trade that was controlled by Germany and Austria, and the pick of this attractive market is at the disposal of those Americans who are anxious to establish themselves in this field.

With a view to stimulating our interest and increasing commercial relations between the two countries the Czechoslovak Government has established a trade journal printed in English and published at Prague and freely circulated throughout the United States, and has opened chambers of commerce and information bureaus in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Omaha.

Such enterprise is praiseworthy and opens the door of opportunity to those who really desire to do business with this enterprising nation.—The (N. Y.) Commercial.
