was so small that half-inch probe

The treasury report from which these
figures are taken shows that the falling
off in exports is almost wholly in agri-
cultural products, and that the incre Sc
of imports is in live animals and arti.
clcs of food, chiefly the former. There
was little difference between the two
periods in either imports or exports OF
manufactures.
Our export business ought to grow.
The way TO bring growth is to help
American shipping. We are still
barred out OF South American markets
by the lack of merchant vessels. English,
German and French lines naturally dis
criminate against our own products.
Merchandise shipped from New York
to the west coast of South America
goes by way of Liverpool or Havre. IL
the government would pay literally for
the ocean mail service we should soon
see American steamship lines establish
cd that would give US direct commune
cation with foreign markets and carry
merchant sc at low rates, thus enabling
American manufacturers TO compete
everywhere, on fair terms, with Eng lish
and German producers.
AS TO the decrease in agricultural eX-
ports shown by the treasury figures, the
fine crops in Europe largely account for
it The increase of imports OF live ami
mails is evidence That the farmers are
