terms the advantage of the United
states Is in the balance.
England still has the great finan-
cisl machine which was responsible
for her commercial supremacy in
the world. Announcement has just
been made that London bankers are
negotiating with the Brazilian state
OF Sac Paulo for a loan Of $50, ,0OO.-
900. American bankers are now
formally offering $4,000. 900
Chilean loan. Trade will naturally
follow both loans. Joseph p. Grace,
president of w. II. Grace and Com
pany, in discussing the Chilean
loan. said:
I'VE feel that the placing Of this
loan in this country will mean much
toward increasing Chile's imports
from here. We are already large
users of Chile's principal exports
nitrate and copper-and there are
very heavy American investments
in Chile, but Chile in the past has
always looked to Europe for her
loans, where she had such a splen-
did record for performance Of
her every obligation"
Long Term Credits Extended.
In addition to government loans,
the extension OF long term credits
for financing our exporters in their
foreign trade transactions is con-
sidered an essential part of COM
petition in the South American field
Before the war there were no facil-
tiles in this country for the exten-
sion Of sucn credits. but that situa-
zion is being remedied through the
organization under the Edge act of
such corporations as the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation. which
is now being formed under the aus
pices of bankers, manufacturers,
farmers and prod 1cers in every sec
tion of the country. II is empow-
cred under the law TO use its funds
in extending just such long term
c- .dits as will be required in de-
velopment of American trade. not
alone in South America but in other
countries of thu world.
The organizers of the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation have
watched with interest the develop
ment Of commercial relations in 1920
with South America and the Far
East. as il has been their contention
that American manufacturers and
producers to take full advantage OF
their opportunities must realize that
expert fields are not confined within
the narrow limits of any one coun-
try, or even Of any one continent.
An export roads led TO Europe
during the few years when the war
torn countries were producing moth
ing and using everything, but il is
felt that the sooner the American
exporter remembers that there are
other than Western European mar
kets. and avails himself Of them. as
many are now doing the sooner this
country will rid itself OF its present
industrial and economic difficulties.

FOREIGN TRADE SHOWS
IMPORTANT CHANGES
Imports and Exports of Crude Material AL.
most Equal While Exports of Manufac-
tures Show Big Excess.
BY The Washington HERALD. Economist.

Herald's Economist.
of manufactured articles declined to
about 80 per cent of the total. In
1920 We sent less food and more
manufactured articles. the proper
tion of the latter standing at 40 per
cent.
Exports of manufactured food
stuffs. including -four, pork and
beef, showed a very great relative
increase, especially in 1918 and 1919.
In 1920 the proportion was again at
approximately the prewar level.
1t is difficult to make valid COM
parisons of actual values in our
foreign trade because of the many
fluctuations in prices. 1t may be
noted that exports of manufactured
goods and of miscellaneous foods
were smaller in 1920 than In 1919.
All other groups show an increase
in the total value for the last year.
Our export of crude material for
use in manufacturing last year was
S1,S7o,S27,423. while imports of this
class of commodities amounted to
s1.674.451,S57. Considering this
group alone there was a favorable
balance of trade of about $197,0O0,-
600. or some 10 per cent of the ex-
ports. In regard to manufactured
articles. the favorable balance was
s2,4O2. 900, 900. or nearly so per cent
of the value of our exports.
The following table gives the ra-
tio of imports to exports by groups
of commodities for the last two cal
endar years and for the fiscal years
1912-l913:

The ratio of the value of our i'm
ports to total exports for the last
year was 81 per cent. compared to
40 in 1919 and "a per cent in the
prewar year. In spite OF the large
increase in imports last year they
are still relatively smaller in pro-
portion to our exports than before
the war. There has been a big in
crease in the proportion of exports
of manufactured articles and manu-
factured foodstufr compared to i'm
ports in these groups.

The, report on our foreign trade
for the calendar year 1920 shows
several important changes in char
acter compared with recent years
and with our prewar trade. Before
the war approximately one-third of
our exports consisted of crude ma
terials for use in manufacturing.
During the war years this class of
commodities increased in relative
Importance, amounting to as much
as 43 per cent of the total in 1917
and 1919. During these years a
corresponding decrease occurred in
the imports Of manufactures, par
consumption. In 1918 this latter
class of imports amounted to 23 per
cent of the total. while from 1917
to 1919 the percentage was only 13.
Imports of manufactured articles
for further use in manufacturing
showed a slight decrease, while
foodstuffs, both crude and manu-
factured, showed a small increase
in relative Importance up to the end
of 1919.
In 1920 there was a marked
change in imports compared to 1911,
crude materials for use in manu-
featuring dropped from 43 per cent
of the total to 33 per cent, or al
NOSE exactly the prewar proper
ton. Manufactured goods ready
for consumption Increased from IL
to II per cent, while foodstuffs
partly or wholly manufactured. in
creased from IA to 90 per cent. The
increase in the latter group was due
largely to raw sugar, which came
in at much larger valuation than
ever before.
So far as imports are concerned,
there is an obvious tendency to get
back to approximately the proper
tions which occurred in the prewar
years.
Before the war our exports Of
crude material for use in manufac-
turing comprised from 80 to "a per
cent of our total exports of domes-
tic merchandise During the war we
sent abroad smaller quantities of
crude material and increased our
proportion of manufactured articles.
Crude materials declined from so
percent of the total in 1913 to about
13 per cent in 1917. Since then it
has increased somewhat, reaching
% per cent in 1920.
Manufactured articles ready for
consumption formed 80 per cent of
our exports in 1913. BY 1916 they
had increased to 4s per cent. In 1918
and 1919. owing to the larger ex-
ports of foodstuffs. the proportion
