American Balance is Placed at
Two Billions in Report for
Fiscal Year
MERCHANT MARINE GAINS
MERCHANT MARINE GAINS
BY HARRY 3. HUNT,
|, e, A. Staff CORRESPONDENT

Washington, July 26.-An index to
Uncle Sans domestic affairs and al
so to the reviving industry of El.
ropean nations is furnished in figures
now being compiled by experts OF
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce covering the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1920.
Although final items covering the
month of June have not yet been COM
pleted,, the tabulation is sufficiently
far along to give a dependable basis
upon which to make comparisons.
U. S. Ships Break Records
Among the significant facts pre-
sented are:
FIRST-That the value of imports
from July /, 1919, to June 80, 1929,
was two-thirds greater than Of i'm
ports from July /, 1918, to June 80,
1919.
SECOND-That the value of ex.
ports for the same period. instead
of showing an increase, stood about
still or dropped few millions.
THIRD-That the volume OF I'M
ports brought to United States ports
in vessels of American registry dou
bled in the one year.
FOURTH-That the volume Of ex-
ports carried from this country il
vessels of the American merchant
marine almost quadrupled in the
same period Notwithstanding the
fact that the total of exports stood
still.
Imports for the first II months OF
the fiscal year 1920 reached total
value of S4,6S5,746,0 900, with tentative
figures for June bringing the total to
about S5.00O.O 600. For the preced-
ing wear the total Of imports reached
only s3,095, 5,S74,5SS.
To a very great extent this IN
crease in imports was OF luxury ar
ticles, subject to the higher tarlfl
schedules. The result was the VIZ
tual doubling of customs collections,
which increased from s1S3,i2S,624.'s
to 1922 ,206.32.
In these figures are reflected. 1t Is
declared, the era OF extravaganza ana
reckless spending through which tins
country has been passing. and, also
a fair index OF the extent to "hlca
the industry of Europe is getting OIL
its feet again.
The slight decline in exports
which for the year ending July L.
1919. amounted in value to ~
23333,3333S.5lS and which in l92o
lust about topped the s7,oe)'-
600 600 standing officially "t
3333:3;.9l4 .3332 for the first II months
also indicates greater reliance by
Europe on her own production. 10
marked degree raw materials for
manufacture replaced in 1920 heavy
shipments of foodstuffs that boosted
the export total in 1919.
Balance of Trade Jumps
DESPITE the heavy increase in I'M
ports and the slight slipping in eX-
norts. the fiscal year 1920 adds ap-
proxim ately $4,000. 100000 to
Uncle Sans balance OF trade. in ac'
count with the world.
The gain which Uncle Sans ne"
merchant marine has made in Amer
ica's commerce. both import and eX-
port, without the subsidies and spe-
cial advantages provided by the new
Merchant Marine Act, appears equal
ly satisfactory.
