floods foi being utilized duiing the arid season. Öuch dykes however can 

 only be constructed in that parts of the country, which the ChecLs and 

 Boumauians claim as their own. 



The gieat faims of the lowLnds have always got their animál stock 

 fiüui the highlands, but if the latter aie taken avay fiom us and become 

 parts of hostile States, the Great Plain will be compelled to increase its 

 animál breeding on a high scale. 



It is a welknown fact of what imiwrtance the climatic moistuie is 

 íor the prosperity of spinning and weaving industry. vSuch industiies 

 can only be set up in districts wet all the year round, if they wish to be 

 able to compete in the open markét. As soon as the atmospheric moisture 

 sinks to a certain minimum, if only diiring the drj^ summer and autum- 

 nal seasons, the ravv materials grow hard and rough and totally unfit 

 for winding a fine thread. According to the researches of Dr. Frank 

 Sávoly in Hmigary only the hilly districts and those valleys close up 

 to and suiTounded by mountains are suitable for the spinning and 

 weavig industry. 



It is not mere chance therefore that has pUíced all our factories in 

 the mountains. 



If the mountainous districts are disintegrated from Hungary, our spin- 

 ning and weaving industries would stop immediately. The remainder of 

 the country reduced to the arid districts would not be appropriate for 

 establishing such manufactories, so Hungary would become a mere colony 

 und its population the tax-paying vassals of those nations which usarp 

 our industrial districts. 



By politically dividing the country and by the 

 1 o s s o f our m o a n t a i n o u s districts all agricultural super- 

 production and the manufactures based on it would be impossible. For 

 superproduciion the lowland needs : 1) more tool and farming imple- 

 ments, 2) more tools require more mechanical power, and 8) the soil 

 which is used for extensive cultivation wants more manure, that means 

 the animál stock must be largely augmented. Consequently 

 three factors are necessaiy foi superproduction: 



1. irón and machine factories. 



2. cheap energy either in steaui or eleetric power. 



3. plenty of water to eliminate the had efftcts of an arid chmate. 

 Let us see hou a mutiiated Hungary could prt>vide these necessities 



on its territory.
