There IS a new factor OF American
prosperity also which the statist recog-

exports OF manufactured goods from this
country. particularly Of machinery and
other highly finished products.
The statlst argues stin another gain. II
foresses much larger buying of foreign
goods by enriched Americans. For some
years past this country has been paying
of its debts to Europe with its surplus
exports and absorbing to itself that share
