In reply to Vladivostok Chronicle, 27th of March, 1905 edition concerning manufactured goods and the lack for their demand, leading economists in Munich have theorized that this may indeed be due to the mass industrialization that is occuring across Europe at this time. Also, increasing labor unions demand home-made products over imported products, despite their quality. They note also that manufactured goods have gone out of style in many Russian cities that were once in demand. 'For now, things will be made near home' is a quote taken, quite surprisingly from two industrialists, one in Berlin, and the other in St Petersburg.
Munich Weekly Economist, March 24, 1905

Having sucessfully stabalized the Jugoslavian economy, Andreas Kleshnikov has moved to managing the industrial sector, and production has never been better! People have jobs, and the sweat of hardworking Jugoslavians beads on the floor of our productionlines!
In other news, Primier Kleshnikov met with President Lohmandero at the Mediteranean Railway Boardmeeting in Rome this month. Firstly, Kleshnikov presented data showing that railroad bypasses leading from Italy to the Turks have been complete, and that the remaining bypass to Germany will be complete next month.
As the men talked, a Board member approached them with a proposal. "Sirs, I have been pining over these calculations for weeks now, I think you two should have a look at this." The men looked at the data which predicted huge losses for the Med. Railway Co. in this fiscal quater, and even larger losses in the long term. "For the resources our nations have put into this venture, the turnaround has been marginal at best" explained the Boardmember. "We simply have to make this a money making venture, especially as our fiscally powerful neighbors to the north make disproportionate earnings by swamping our rails with their products."
A suggestion was then put forth to impose tarrifs on trade profits earned by passing along the Med Railways. "Tariffs, based on the sender-city's population (visable to all players) is a perfect way to guage profit made through the use of our railnetworks" continued the Boardmember. As the three men talked, Abdul Sun Tzu II came upon the group. He listened intently as his nation too has invested greatly in this project. The now group of four retire to a rear chamber to discuss things further...
The shareholders meeting was bustling with reporters as word of the impomptu meeting was leaked to the press. The room was electric as everyone felt something important was happening. President Lohmandero took to the podium to present the new policy.
"As of this moment the Mediteranean Railway Company no longer provides its service free of charge. With the great monies invested in both the initial phases of construction as well as the secondary railbypass phase by the three nations involved, drastic steps are needed to bring this monsterous project out of the red."
The silence in the room was broken only by the snapping of the press' shutter lenses.
"We therefore present this tariff chart, which nations usign our rails will have to use in order to calculate the fees to be paid. The fees are based on the population of the City where the trade unit originates.
____________________________________________
City Size------------Tariff rate
0-10 ------------------50 gold
10-18 ----------------100 gold
19-22 ----------------150 gold
23-26 ----------------200 gold
26-29 ----------------300 gold
____________________________________________
Declaration of the trade unit, its commodity, its destination and its city of origin shall be made when the unit itself crosses the border on our rails. To ensure this policy is strictly enforced, borderposts will be erected at which soldiers will halt all vehicles to demand declaration. Refusal to abide by the new policy will result in removal of the international link of the railnets, making the exclusive to the Mediteranean League member nations.
We hope that our neighbors realize that this is a necissary procedure, and we hope that relations are not effected."
And with that, roaring applause came from the audience, and Lohmandero shook a fist in the air in triumph. 
-Andreas Kleshnikov.

Britain Incensed by Turkish Embargo
In closing their ports to our ships, the turkish have made a mockery of the spirit of cooperation which had formed, tentitively, between these two nations. After Italy helped in the supression of France new links were formed between the two 'opposing' alliances and the new era of cooperation was formed. Now Turkey threatens this by closing their ports to the opposing alliance. The fact that this tarrif they are imposing is, in Britains opinion, illegal does not matter with this point. What does matter is that Turkey is closing their ports thus forcing Britain, Germany and Russia too to use their railways and thus pay the tariff.
If Turkey continues to keep their ports closed then Britain will have no choice but to enforce their will and break these illegal closures, with force if necessary. The British Navy stands ready to enforce Britains will. Unless Turkey opens their ports to Britain, Britain will be forced to sink the Turkish Navy and Bombard their cities. This is the will of britain. By all means keep the Tariffs in place but Britain will only pay them im they have to use the railways, and Britain will not be forced to use the railways when we have a huge Merchant Navy with nothing else to do.
We expect an affirmative Reply before the British Turn, otherwise The Med Fleet will take action as it sees fit.

Ioannes Reluctant
Radio address by President Ioannes Schroeder of the CEU:
"My fellow Europeans, the age of Free Trade is now at an end. While we recognize the rights of the Mediterranean Alliance, the Democratic League is sadened by the loss of free trade.
"To the Turkey, while we see your right to charge use for the railway, blocking your ports, forcing use of the railway shall not be tollerated.
"Also, while we accept the charges, I demand that, as favor for the establishment of Jugoslavia, that Russia and the CEU nations be given free trade access to Jugoslavia for the course of one year.
"In appendum, for each road bypass that must be traveled due to railroad inaccessibility, I shall pay 50% less of the tariff. Thus two road bypasses will be 75% less, three bypasses will be 86.5% off (or what ever the correct percentage is)
"In turn, a similar terrif will be set up for use of the CEU railway system for all who impose tarrifs on the CEU. They shall be respective to those imposed on the CEU. All nations who give us free access will be given free access."

Actually IMHO these extremely small tarrifs arent anything to give such a big fuz about, you easily make more than 1000 gold with a freight from a city size 25.
Furthermore Brittains proposterous claims that such tarrifs are ilegal are laughable, since when is it ilegal for a railroad company to charge for use of thier own rails?
Furthermore, even if it would be ilegal in brittain, that would not matter, as railroads in turkey goes under turkish laws
While Italy does not agree with the blocking of turkish ports she does recognice that it is perfectly within turkeys rights to do so, its turkish ports, she has signed no agreement to keep them open, hence she can keep them open or closed as she pleases.
