Trade Balance
VIII Disappear
n Our Flood Gates Remain Wide
Open to the Deluge OF Cheap
Foreign Products

This country is scoring prodigious
foreign trade balances. 1t will go
on with them while the war lasts and
the imperative necessities of beliig-
erents compel them to buy in our
markets at our prices. We shall
thus continue to cut down debts
abroad where we have owed and to
amass credits where We have not
owed.
But let no American deceive HIM
self as to the vulnerability of our
economic position from foreign indus
trial invasion as soon as ever the
war shall end. Let no one imagine
that even now, with millions OF Eu-
ropes producets away from the farm
and the factory in the trenches and
on the open battlefelds, We are not
receiving imports in volume which
under any other circumstances
would wreck our industries and ruin
our prosperity.

sales of war supplies must destroy us
industrially and financially.
In August of this year, with Ger
many's huge foreign trade shut out
of our markets by the fleets of the
Allies. our imports were SAL, 729,63S.
This not only was twelve millions
more than in August, 1914, when the
war had Just begun; it was four mil
lions more than in August, 1913, one
year before the war. It was nearly
sixteen millions more than in 1911,
nearly twenty-five millions more than
in 1909, and some fifty millions more
than in 1908.
For the whole country import fig
ures in detail for latter dates than
August are not yet available; but
New York, the great import center
of the United States, gives an idea
of how the story is running,
| Imports of dry goods and general
merchandise at New York for the
week ending September IS were
S16,3S6,2S6; for the week ending
September 4, $40, 1885. The av.
erage for August was scarcely more
tnan s17,O00,OO0 a week, but We have
seen how August had bigger imports
than in previous years.
Imports at New York for eight
months of 1916 were 1927, 1892, $50 as
against only s7S2,9sS,O51 for 1914
and $717,5S6,S40 for 1919. In 1912
there were only $712,0OO,O0o; in 1911
less than s665,OO0,O00.
In the week closing last Saturday
the total New York imports were
| $40, SS5,747. In 1914 they we're onl,
