> Romanian exports of grain, flour and cattle have switched to the sea route and to the railways through Vienna, and the Polish railways are losing good money because of it.

"Kur. Polski" reports that Romanian exports, which until recently went to Central Europe through Poland, have now changed route and are directed either by sea via Galați, or by rail through Budapest and Vienna. Romanian grain, as well as flour, cattle and bone meal, are being exported by the new route, for the most part bypassing Poland.

For the Polish railways this is a heavy loss. To appreciate its size it is enough to note that bone meal alone passed from Romania through Poland to the amount of about 2000 wagons. One of the reasons for this is the high cost of carriage through Poland: it is much cheaper to ship through Czechia.

The "sanation" of the treasury, here as in all other branches of economic life, costs Poland very dear…
