SEARCHING THE WORLD FOR
MANUFACTURING MATERIAL.

States, and when we add the
freight across the ocean, the duties
paid on entering the country, the
profits of the importers and the
freights from the port of entry to
the door of the factory, it is quite
apparent that the manufacturers
of the country have paid IN the
fiscal year just ended consider
ably more than $3,000,000,0O0 for
the manufacturing m ateria |
brought from other parts of the
world. The total cost to the man
facturers of the manufacturing
material imported in the past
decade is approximately $4,000
100000.
The material which we draw
from other parts of the world is
chiefly the product of climatic and
labor conditions different from our
own. The importations for fac
tory use include rubber, distinctly
a tropical product; jute, manila
and sisal, also tropical; raw silk,

large supplies of cheap labor; cot

gentipa and Australia; goatskins
from India, China, Africa and the
Latin American countries; coconut,
oil and copra; gums from the
tropical forests; tobacco, grown
chiefly in the tropical and sub
tropical climates, and in addition
to these products of the soil and
tropical climates it so happens
that the minerals and metals
which we import are from mines
within the tropical or sub-trop;cai
belt.
Fortunately. adds the Trade
Record, our manufacturers arc
able to pay Elm kind" for this
enormous quantity of manufac-
turing materials which they must
have, for the very countries pro-

are not producers of manufactures.

Our manufacturers expend over
$780, 100000 a year for
s; products Of other parts Of the
world.

The growing demand OF the
manufacturers of the country for
material purchased in other parts
of the world is illustrated by the
latest import figures which indi-
cate that the value of manufacture
ing material imported in the fiscal
year which ended in June, 1928, ag-
gregated nearly "a billion dollars,
as against an annual average of less
than a billion dollars in the years
Immediately preceding the war.
While higher prices are in part
responsible for this increase, it is
quite apparent that the quantity
tof manufacturing material coming
from abroad constantly increases.
Compilations made by the Trade
Record of The National City Bank
of New York show that the total
value of imports of raw material
for use in manufacturing totaled
about $l,500,000000 in the fiscal
year which ended with June 80,
while manufactures for further
use in manufacturing aggregated
about $7sOOO0,0OO. The very high
lest record made in the pre-war
period was $635,00,0W of raw ma
tcrial imported and $350,O00O00 Of
manufactures for further use in
manufacturing, so that the record
tof the fiscal year 1928 is about 2H
times as great in stated value as
in the highest pre-war year.
Even this high record of nearly
"a billion dollars of imports in
the fiscal year 1923 does not fully
measure the sums paid by the
manufacturers for foreign ma
terial, for the figures which mea-
sure our imports represent the
cost in the foreign countries from
which they are sent to the United

Our ability, adds the Trade Rec
