TAE MOTION PICTURE
 t@, IN OUR FOREIGN TRADE

s'Motion picture films sent out of the
 United States in 1920 aggregated 41,0O0
 miles in length or nearly enough to
 extend twice around the globe at the
 equator, and incoming films nearly
 half as much in length. These tre-
 nlendous figures, says a statement by. The National City Bank of New York,
 illustrate the bigness and constant
 growth of the motion picture industry of the world and especially of the i United States. which is by far the
 largest manufacturer of films and also
 bys far the worlds largest exporter of
 films both exposed and unexposed.
 The increase of exportation of "ex- posed" films has been very great in
 very, recent years, the total quantity ofp exposed films exporte' from the United States having grow from 3D. I oet, 900 feet in the year preceding the w4f1the calendar year 1913-to 73,- E8a0 900 feet in. 1915, 1s4, 900. 900 in 1916 E15S eoo,ooe in 1s1s, and 175, ,oe0, 900 in 1920. The exportation of unexposed films has drop ped from 114.0o0, 900 feet
 int1s14 and 12s,ooo, 900 in 1915 to less | than 65, ,o00. 900 feet in 1920. This tre- | mendous growth in exports of the "ex- posed" films .contrasted with the re-
 duction in the quantity of unexpose6 films exported suggests, at least, add: | the banks statement, that the industry
 of. making film pictures for the world phptoplays and others, is growing rap. idly in the United States and that ap. parently the other countries are rely ing upon us to a greater extent fol
