BOTHPRES|DENT WILSON
AND ROOSEVELT WRONG
Discussion of Foreign Commerce in
Speeches Shown to Be Inac.
curate by Reports.

President Wilson and Col. Roosevelt.
in their speeches, have been discussing
the foreign commerce of the United
to show that the present high figures
are not war made"-that is, that ma
terials affected by the war form only
small proportion of the total, while
Col. Roosevelt has been making efforts
in the opposite direction. Neither of
them seemed to have gone over the
figures gathered by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce before
making the statements, or if they did,
they did not follow them.
In his Cincinnati speech President
wilson is quoted as saying that eX-
ports of everything that goes to supply
armies make only 1 per cent of the
total OF American commerce.
Col. Roosevelt, on the same day, is
quoted as saying: 1.-The fiscal year just
closed. compared with the fiscal year
before the war, showed a decrease in
exports of s2O0,OOO,oOO so far as ma
terials not affected by the war were
100000 of exports that were affected by
the war On the other hand. things
needed only in peace have fallen off,"
Here Are Actual Figures.
Figures available at the Department of
Commerce show that the total value of
American exports for the fiscal year end
ing June go last was 81, 333, ,65s.S65, as
compared with s2.364, 579.14S for the year
ending June 80, 1914, the last normal year
previous to the beginning of the war.
The value of exports affected by the
war for the fiscal year ended June 80 last
is given as $1,163. 600, 900, as compared
with $1s9.000,000 for the 1914 period
Exports therefore of war materials for
the fiscal year ended last June, according
to these reports, formed slightly more
than rs per cent of the total of American
commerce instead of the l per cent as
serted by President Wilson.
Contrary to the statement made by
Col. Roosevelt, articles not affected by
the war did show an increase, according
to the Department of Commerce figures.
The value of articles not affected by the
war totaled S3,170. 1856 for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1916, as compared for
the 1914 period, with s2.175, ,393.559.
