Q

There are several, under-developed minos in Bosnia. Krupps are to "provide" the capital to develop them. But this capital will be part of the money which Germany has at last 'forced Yugoslavia to provide in repayment of loans granted by Germany to Bosnia and Serbia in 1895, before Yugoslavia existed.

These repayments will not leave Yugoslavia, but will remain in banks there and be spent by Krupps within the country. Krupps will then

take the products of the investments.

not mean that there will be any extra surplus to export. Instructions have been given that the statement is to be published in the Soviet Press.
