Canadn's Balance Adverse.
Trade between Canada and the
United States is developing very
quickly. Our total trade with you Is
now treble what IL was~slx years ago
and ten times what it was twenty
years ago. 1t Is not every business
that multiplies tenfold In twenty
years. In 1899 the total trade between
the two countries was less than $780,
100000. In the year ended March 81.
1919, the total was 1927, 100000. Last
year it was even greater.
Now the question everybody is ask
ing is: "Will this enormous trade
continue with the same smoothness
and satisfaction as at PRESENT." And
II Is wise that the question should be
asked, even IL the prophet be unable
to see very far into the future.
The chief characteristic of this
trade is that the balance is always one
way. That has been the case ever
since 1890. In each year since then
balance IN cash. For many years that
adverse balance was only few million
, dollars a year. but it has gradually and
| persistently grown with the develop
ment of United States manufacturing.
| In 1908 1t crossed the hundred million
mark for the first time. Four years
later it crossed the two hundred mill
ion mark. Finally. the high point was
reached in 1861, when Canada was
obliged to pay the United States 1884,
| 000,00 to balance the trade accounts
| for the year.
When the worlds exchange was on
an even keel, as It was before the war.
Canada was able to make these enor-
nous payments to the United States
with ease. Canada was selling largely
! in England, and it was a simple mat
ter to transfer moneys owing to her
from London TO New York ana thus
| l.quidate her United States debt. But
the sovereign was then worth $4.s7;
now it is worth only $4.15. Then, Can
ada transferred millions from London
to New York without loss. Now, Cam
ada loses SIS 100000 on every 500, 000,-
900 that she transfers from her Brit
ish debtors to her American creditors.
This is prohibitive discount, and
makes this method Of paying debts all
most an impossibility.
Result of six Years Trading.
In the six years ended March, 1919,
Canada sold the United States l,7S9
million dollars worth of goods. In the
same period the United States sold
Canada goods to the value Of 3,26S
million dollars. Thus In six years
Canada had TO pay the United States
1879 millions Of dollars to balance the
account. This was a considerable task
for a country OF 100000 people, but
every dollar was paid, despite the size
Of the account and despite the difficult
ties of the war period. Whether Can
ada can succeed during the next two
years as well as she did during the
past six years remains to be seen. II
Great Britain and the other countries
of Europe were now able to pay Cam
ada In cash securities for her exports
