But. as In the course OF time the
capital and labor are absorbed in

The application Of these general

which she shall pay us we do not
control the form Of her export

our while to disorder our export
trades and disturb the equilibrium
Of our industry for two or three
years much less to endanger the
peace Of Europe.
American economists have ex-
amined somewhat carefully the
statistical measure Of the change
from the pre-war position. Ac-
cording to, their estimates. Amer.
lea is now owed more interest on
foreign investments than is due
from her. quite apart from the in
terest on the debts Of the allied
governments; and her mercantile
marine now earns from foreigners
mole than she owes them for
similar services.
Her excess OF exports Of COM
modities over imports approaches
$4,000. 900. 900 a year; whilst, on
the other side of the balance,
payments, mainly to Europe, in
respect of tourists and II immi-
grant remittances are estimated
at not above 81. oO0. o00, 900 a year.
Thus. in Oh der to balance the
account as 1t now stands, the
United States must lend to the

or another, not less than $4,000

Effects on Trade.

For the benefit OF any reader
who enjoys an abstract statement,
summarize the argument thus:
The equilibrium Of international
trade Is based on a complicated
balance between the agriculture
and the industries of the different
countries OF the world. and on a
specialization by each In the en-
ployment of its labor and its capt.
tai. II one country Is required to
transfer to another without pay
ment great quantities OF goods,
for which this equilibrium does not
allow. the balance is destroyed
Since capital and labor are fixed
and organized in certain employ
ments and cannot flow freely into
others, the disturbance of the bal
ance Is destructive to the utility
OF the capital and labor thus fixed.
Phe organization, on which the
wealth of the modern world 80
largely depends, suffers injury. In
course Of time a new organization
and a new equilibrium can be es-
tablished.
But II the origin of the disturb.
ance Is of temporary duration, the
loses from the injury done TO
organization may outweigh the
profit of receiving goods without
paying for them. Moreover, since
the losses will he concentrated on
the capital and labor employed in
particular industries, they will pro.
woke an cutlery out Of proportion
to the injury inflicted on the com.
munity as a whole.
