Trade With Cuba
 More Than Doubles

Havana, April 1S-The increase in trade between the United States and Cuba. from $19e, ,OOO, 900 in 1913, to S445,0OO, 900 last year, will be em- phasized in an exhibit of Cuban trade at the annual session of the National Foreign Trade Council of the United States at Cincinnati, O., April 1S-2O' The great development of trade be- tween the United States and Cuba has given the island leading posi- tion in this respect among the na- lions of the Western hemisphere C1,ba,s trade with the United States is declared to exceed by large mar gins that of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Last year the United States took 75 per cent. of Cuba's export and supplied 76 per cent. of the islands import. It is expected that the islands trade with the Unit ed States will be even greater this year.
