Germany has also gained a large area of wooded land since the Sudeten territory was 33.7 per cent. forest. The Sudeten industry, it is pointed out, is to a^great extent export industry, about 55 per cent. of the total production having been sold abroad between 1927 and 1929. The textile industry exported between 60 and 70 per cent. of. its production, the glass industry 75 per cent. and the ornament and jewelry industry 95 per cent.
Wood and cellulose were exported principally to Germany.
The Sudeten districts are predominantly industrial in character and, because of the general infertility of the soil, depended on the agrarian parts of the Czechoslovak state for agricultural products. Of international importance from an agrarian viewpoint is the Saaz hop district which supplied Pilsen breweries but has now become a German possession. The famous breweries are now but a few miles from the Reich frontier.
