month. compared with the preceding
January, IL accounted for mainly by
the submarine campaign which praC-
ideally blockudCd our ports. and from
which there were no sai!in4S until ten
days ago But there were other
factors. whose Significance We cannot
ignore. Home conditions are now such
that it is possible for British, French
and other European manufacturers to
devote more attention to and make
greater efforts toward the rebuilding Of
their export business than has been
possible for some time. Moreover,
smaller shipments Of munitions and
other war, supplies were made to the
Allied Powers than previously, by
reason Of the increasing ability Of
those countries 10 supply larger pro-
portion Of their own wants. But what
ever may have been the causes con-
ltributing to this decline in export trade
in February, the decline Of itself Is a
forcible and timely reminder OF the
labnormally high level 10 which export
business was carried in recent months,
and OF the certainty that a gradual
return to lower and more normal
level is only question of time. Then
rH
old conditions return what is 10 be-
