Encouraging as the showing is, the
foreign trade movement must be judged
with reference TO the huge credit balance
accumulated by this country since the
beginning OF 1916, just sfter the war de-
mand became the overshadowing inf'u-
ence in American industry. The Gov
eminent figures show that from Jan
uary. 1916. to February, 1919, inclusive,
the United States piled up q favorable
trade balance OF $10.253, 9G9, which
was more than the total of all favor
able trade balances reported by this
country up to the time that the war be-
gan.
The stupendous credit balance takes
no account of $S.000.000,000 advanced
by the United States to the Govern
ments associated with it in the war.
Tho means that this country has owing
to Il Just now sum far in excess OF
Indebtedness to any other nation on
foreign trade account at any one time.
1t Is an unprecedented situation and
shows why 1t is that Great Britain and
France haye found 1t so difficult to peg
the rate for exchange at a fixed level.
The sharp decline in sterling exchange
may have an important bearing on for
egn trade position in making It more
costly for our foreign buyers to purchas e
SupplleS mere. SHOulu the BTltlSn Gov
eminent determine to let the sterling
exchange market shift for itself the
probability is that unless large foreign
loans are placed here. or credits granted
to our foreign customers. there will be
temporary falling off in foreign pur-
chases OF American merchandise. This
is BECAUSE dollar credits in England will
cSst 40 much as to add materially to the
expense OF settling for purchases made
In the United States. The British Gov
eminent has sustained the price OF ster-
ling exchange since 1915 through pur-
chases for its account. Now that that
support has been withdrawn there seems
TO be imperative need of placing large
foreign loans here. the proceeds OF which
would pay for merchandise purchased
here for Europe.
The situation Is intensely interesting
and will excite keen attention until
something like normal conditions prevail
in the market for London exchange. 1t
may be necessary for the Treasury TO
grant further advances to Great Britain.
France, Italy and other Governments
associated with 1t in the war. with UNI
Outstanding that proceeds OF such ad-
vances should be used to pay for produce
or material purchased here. If such
credits are not granted It is possible
that they may be negotiated by private
banking interests to help American for
eiGu trade.
