counted for s3S7. 600, 600 out of a total
expectation of $605. 000. 900. Sc that
Europe took 81 per cent. It is. of
course, quite clear that such com-
rerce could not be indefinitely CON
tinued. The United States must either
cease to export or pile up huge and
useless credits.
America, in spite Of her great
natural resources, has need for a GER

As far as Americas importing
needs are concerned. il Is clear that
the American exports are enormously
greater than is required to pay for
them. We have also to ear in mind

Urgent Need for Export.
On the other hand the need of the
United Singdom To export has become
increasingly urgent. In spite Of the
abnormal figures which we have
broadly reviewed. there is really no
reason to suppose that we cannot find
IN IA world OF expanding trade mar
kets much greater than we enjoyed

After all, there are only three
