Americas Foreign Trade

9 ONE apprehension has been felt in bust
~ ness circles, since this country went 10
war that the American people were trading
100 hcaN!lE among themselves, that the pros
pcritE they were enjoying was imitation pure
and simple. and that the nation was in re-
atty on boom basis. There is, OF course.
some ground for this feeling There is a.
NAYS more or less artificial stimulation to
business IN war times The government be-
comes a lavish spcnder, pays good profits
ana demands quick and often expensive de-
livery OF goods. This was never trucr than
al the present time
Even 50, so,/e rcassuring figures have lust
been issued by the Department Of Commerce
gong INTO the matter OF our foreign trade
lhcsc hSHrcs show conclusivcly that where
as domestic business may be on an inflated
basis, 1t is also true that This country is
trading enormously in foreign markets. Vas.
quantities OF our goods arc being sold abroad
principally in the entente nations OF Europe.
AT the same time. Americans are buvinc
heavily in other countries All this has a
healthy tone TO it, and will tend toward the
the Steadying OF our whole commercial and
financial system.
American foreign trade reached its high
est point for 1918 during the month OF NAV
During that period exports totacd s552.O0O.

ms is the NlgncSt monthly total for i'm
ports, the department points out md the
fourth highest for exports. in the history of
our foreign trade. Exports Increased $50
100000 over April, and imports in May in
creased Si;,OV0,DV0 over the previous month
At that, the exports Of the United States
are still below the figure for 1917 The
