WOOD TO SPAIN 



^ The fuel shortage in Spain, brought about 

 byjthe restrictions on coal exportation im- 



posed by the United States and allied govern- 

 ments which formerly supplied that country's 

 demands, has opened up a new industry for 

 Cuba — the export of wood for fuel purposes- 

 to the Spanish peninsula.

 States desire to receive catalogues from Amer- 

 ican manufacturers and exporters of ma-
