VIC arc even justified in adding to our

mat increase 10 cover the period
since tho outbreak Of the war While
this reservation may seem super7uous,
there Is reason to believe that it has
not been sufficiently emphasized in
some of the popular discussions of our
foreign trade.
On the basis OF a pre-war compari-
son we find, as will be seen from the
following table, compiled from official
figures that the foreign trade of the
United States is nearer normal than
the trade Of the United Kingdom,
France or Germany. which are our
principal competitors. While the
figures IN the table ave only approNi-
mately comparable, owing to the fuc-
tuations in price level. ii is believed
that they are sufficiently correct TO
indicate the relative advantage of the
United States IN foreign trade.
