TIE REAL BALANCE

From the Grand Rapids Herald-1
The financial committees Of the SEN
ate and house are considering the pro-
position put forward by Secretary Gage
IN his last annual report as to estab-
fishing means whereby the real annual
balance Of trade for or against the
United States can be ascertained. At
present, although the assertion will
doubtless be surprising to many. this is
not known 1t is known. OF course, by
what sum our exports and imports diff
Ter and this sum IS usually spoken Of
as "the balance OF trade" but 1t fur
nishes nothing even approxlmating the
real balance-the amount whereby this
country Is rendered richer or poorer by
the yearly transactions with foreign
nations
For instance. our exports exceeded
our imports by about $3.50. Oo0. 600 last
year. while our direct profit by foreign
interchanges is roughly estimated to
have been only about $500. 900. 900. In
this estimate, which is made by Secre-
tary Gage. the greater part OF the
$3.50 100000 IS accounted for as fol-
lows:
Return Of American securi-
Expenses ofAmerican tourists 100000. 900
Freight paid foreign corpor-
atoms .--..-..--. .-.-...-... 100 QO0, 600
Interest on American Eecuri-
ties held abroad...---.-..... 100 600, 900
Loans made 10 foreign coun-
tries -..--..---..- Joe, DOC, 600
An analysis Of these figures shows
that the United States realized as d.
rect profits about $500. Loo. 900. This is
accounted for In the securities pur-
chased from foreigners and returned
to this country and the loans made to
foreign countries Had the balance
not been TO our credit. we probably
would not have purchased these securi-
ties. ana the foreign loans. under the
circumstances. are or course. clear

hut. while interesting. these figures
are not satisfactory Their conjectural
nature robs them OF much or their
value. To know exactly the profit 70 the
nation from its foreign intercourse would
undoubtedly aid in solving many gov
eminent questions.
1t Is a truism. though it always
strikes one with surprise. to state that
no country can continue Indefinitely To
have a balance OF trade in its favor
Europe cannot forever keep on spend
ing more than II receives. any more
