 The imports from the dozen coun- tries in question were in 1920 S233,- 00o, COG against $296, 100000 in 1913 and the exports thereto sS03,000,000 in 1920 against $477 100000 in 1913. The inn ports from the countries in question are less in 1920 than in 1913 as a re- suit of the fact that in most cases they have little which they can spare for exportation, while the exports to them were last year nearly twice as much as in 1913 as result of the fact that they are at this time greatly in need of foodstuffs and manufa curing ma terials, of which the United States is still a large exporter, especially in raw cotton, breadstuffs, and limited quanti- ties of meats.
 Of this billion dollars worth of trade with the war area in 1920 as against three-quarteis of billion dollars in 1913, the more striking figures are: inn ports from Germany $J0,000,000, and exports to Germany $2SS S,000,000; inn ports from Belgium $4S, 900 600, and ex- ports thereto $27T,000,0 900; imports from Russia s12<000,0O0, and exports thereto $20,O00, ,000, about evenly divid- ed between European and Asiatic Rus sia; imports from Turkey $37,000. 900, and exports thereto Si0,000,000, also about equally divided between Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia; inn ports from Finland S5,000,000. and ex- ports thereto $1S,0OO,OO0: imports from Czecho- -Slovakia g 1-2 million dollars, and exports thereto s7000,000; imports from Bulgaria s6,G00,000, and exports | thereto S2,000. 900; imports from Ru- i mania less than S1,0G0,000, and exports 1 thereto over $10,000, 900; and imports ] from. Poland less than. s1,00O,0 900, and ! exports, thereto. S6S, ,0QO,o30. In the case l z 6 1 1,r i United States has largely increased 1 apparently as result of the large in- 1 crease in her territory absorbed from l the war areas of Europe and Asia 1 Minor, the imports therefrom are $2Q,- l 0OO, GOO against 1-2 million dollars ir ] 1913 and the exports thereto $40, ,000,-
 900 against but $1,OO0,000 in 1913.
