1t is worthy of note that although the
total value of foreign trade is still more
than 90 per cent. above the prewar total.
the current average monthly net balance of
exports is only moderately above the prewar
= level
This substantial reduction in the excess
of exports does not, however, indicate that
an excess OF imports is probable develop
ment of the near future. The expectation of
net balance of imports is based on the fact
that eventually the obligations of other coun-
tries to the United States can be liquidated
only by payments in goods and services. But
regards the largest item in this indebted
ness-the advances made by the government
TO the Aies-interest payments have thus
far been deferred and consequently have
exercised no influence on the trade balance.
Moreover general negotiations regarding
funding and interest payments on the Allied
indebtedness have hardly more than begun,
that for some months at least the infu-
ence of this factor the trade balance
will be slight
