Yugoslavia, he said, was one of the most prosperous countries in the world.: It was a country of small farmers;- each" family being satisfied with its house, its gardens and its herd of cattle. There was no room for Fascists. Communists or anarchists. One of the methods by 1 which the country's economic ills had been overcome was by reverting to a largo extent to barter. Agricultural products and livestock were exported as payment for such, commodities as silk and cloth.
