THE TOTAL trade between the United States
and the twenty Latin American countries
showed during the fiscal year l917.ls just
closed the extraordinary increase OF u 200, 100000
over that of 19l3-14, the last fiscal year before the
outbreak Of the war. The United States exports 10,
and imports from, Latin America reached the i'm
mense total Of 81. 1904 0 900, in contrast to $3.50
900, 900 four years agol The official records prove
that nothing equal to this trade expansion has here
tofore been known in the history Of the world.
These and other remarkable facts are brought
ont in an analysis of the latest Department of Com
mcrce figures made by John Barrett. director gen
eral of the Pan American Union, given out recently.
la a review emphasizing the present Importance of
Pan American commerce bnt cautioning ag9 inst
overconidence, Director General Barrett further
points ont the following interesting and surprising
figures as confirming the conclusion just stated
United States exports 10 Latin America grew from
approximately $3.50. 000, 900 in 19i3-l4 TO ST20O0O,-
600 in 1911 or 257 per cent United States i'm.
ports from Latin America increased from S4I0.00U.-
900 TO 81 .030.OOO,000, or 2li per cent the grand
total Of exports and imports advanced from $3.50,
O0O.000 to -. 100 900. 000, or 235 per cent.
The reports for individual countries are equally
impressive. United States trade with Chile in the
same period jumped from S4},O0O,000 10 S205.000,-
900, or 375 per cent Argentina, from S90,O 900. 600
10 1908. COG. 900. or 2i0 per cent Cuba, from $500
600 600 60 1900. 000. 900. or lj0 per cent Mexico.
from 1882. o 5000 to $2is. 900, 900. or 9o per cent
Brazil, from S1J0,000000 to $l90O00.0 600. or i6 per
cent.
These figures emphasize the vast Importance
and possibilities of Pan American commerce. but
they must moi encourage false hopes as to United
States trade of the future. This exceptional growth
IL due largely TO. first. the supplanting by the
United States of the trade OF the central allies; see
ond, the caring by the United States for that por-
