The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 4/Number 8/Miscellaneous

​According to the decision of the Committee of Ambassadors, which have been hearing the dispute regarding Teschen at Paris, the mines of that district are awarded to Czechoslovakia while the city of Teschen is given to Poland. The railway running north and south through the disputed territory is made the approximate boundary line. While the final award has not been made because of the participation of United States Ambassador Wallace, who is awaiting instructions from Washington as to what course to pursue in this matter, yet it is fair to assume that the findings will be final. With this question the problem of Spisz and Orava is also settled. The greater portion of these territories go to Czechoslovakia. Thus is removed one of the most difficult questions confronting the Czechoslovak Republic.

It is estimated that over 3,500,000,000 Cs. crowns will be necessary to properly handle the next sugar crop. This amount is large even in comparison to the extent of the industry and is due to the fact that larger acreages will be planted and that the cost of seed beets has increased many fold. Plans are being worked out so that the sum may be raised without unnecessary disturbance to the money market or injuring credits. The government, and particularly the Ministry of Finance, gives hearty cooperation to the plans under consideration.
