Uy, , FOREIGN TRADE ZONES ALBANIA Although Albania shipped into the Greek free zone only 37 tons and 135 tons of freight in 1926 and 1927, respectively, the traffic movement from the free zone into Albania in these two years amounted to 2,285 tons and 3,044 tons, respectively. Hides and skins constituted the bulk of the Albanian exports to the free zone. However, the exports from the free zone of foreign products into Albania consisted chiefly of manufactured or other processed goods. In 1927 this trade included rice, 170 tons; animal products, 116 tons; flour, 29 tons; sugar, 125 tons; textiles, 200 tons; pottery and glassware, 110 tons; wrought metals, 366 tons; paper, 107 tons; cement, 385 tons, etc. Practically all of these products were shipped by rail to Florina, on the Saloniki-Monastir Line, and from there transported by wagons or automobile trucks to southern and eastern Albania, which can not be readily served by the Adriatic seaboard. The building of railways in Albania, however, would undoubtedly Jirect this trade to its Adriatic ports. Albania is, therefore, not recarded as a potential factor in the free zone of Saloniki. [INFLUENCE OF THE FREE PORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOREIGN TRADE AND MERCHANT MARINE What influence the free zones at Saloniki will have on the develop- ment of foreign trade and the merchant marine depends on numerous factors. As has been shown In previous chapters to this report, the sransit trade of Saloniki during the first two years of the operation of the Greek free zone did not reach a very large volume and was chiefly for the account of Yugoslavia. An increase in this transit traffic depends primarily on the establishment of adequate railway connections between Greece and her neighboring states, especially Bulgaria, Rumania, and Albania, as well as the establishment of amicable relations and confidence between the Balkan people. Bulgaria is probably the most important potential factor in the development of the transit trade at Saloniki. At the same time, with the establishment of adequate railway connections between Saloniki and Bulgaria, & new geld in southern Bulgaria, which is now without railways, will be opened to international trade. The free sone should benefit materially from the distribution of this trade. With the expansion of the transit trade through the free zones of Saloniki, there will undoubtedly be an increase in the number of vessels using this port. At the present time the trade of this port is served by the vessels of many nations, some of which operate in regular services and others in tramp services. Approximately two- thirds of the vessels which called at Saloniki during the year 1927 were under Greek registry. Greek vessels brought 30 per cent of
