Exceptional interest attaches to the
foreign trade returns for March, since
these disclose for the third successive
month an excess Of merchandise i'm
ports over exports, states the current
issue Of the Guaranty Survey, pub
lishcd by the Guaranty Trust COM
pany Of New York. A surplus CT i'm
ports in the foreign trade Of the
United States is sufficiently unusual
to attract attention in any case, the
Survey says. This country has taken
less merchandise than it has exported
in every year but one during the last
half century, and comparatively few
of the monthly returns have shown
an excess of imports. Since April,
1914, this has happened on only three
occasions.
The value of our shipments abroad
normally follows a well defined sea-
sonal trend. There is a profound de-
cline during the late spring and sum-
mer months which is followed by a
peak load of shipments during the
fall and early winter. The marked
decline in the value of u exports
during the first quarter Of the pres
ent year may therefore be considered
quite out Of the ordinary.
1t may be that the present reversal
in the course Of our foreign trade
will be as short-lived as was the case
in 1928, but in any event the recur-
renee of a series Of monthly import
balances, coupled with the unmistak-
able tendency during recent years fol-
imports to increase faster than ex-
ports, carries with it a variety Of i'm.
plications.
Our continued active merchandise

ly consistent with our position as {
debtor country. The present position
of the United States as a great cred.
itOr country forbids, however, the
presumption of a permanent OutloOl
for a surplus Of exports on u par.
Although we may hope, for some time
to come, to carry an excess Of ex
ports abroad by means Of loans, this
only increases the obligations of for
eign countries to US On account o
principal and interest which must ul
timately be paid by means of an ex
cess of goods and services.
It is true that the increasing vogu,
of European travel among American
citizens will undoubtedly help to swell
the figures on account Of services rem
dered to the United States. To off
set this, however, We may expect al
ever greater participation on our par
in shipping and in marine insurance
From the very nature of the case W
must ultimately expect a s~o-calle

unfavorable balance Of trade, which
in reality may be considered in pros
pect as favorable, since it will repre-
sent EurOpe's repayment Of its fl
nancial obligations to US. The pres
ent development, though it may be
temporary, in all probability presages
the future course Of international
trade so far as this country is con-
cerned.
Our own abnormal gold situation
and our interest in the sterilization
Of European c~urrencies on the basis
Of the gold standard may also lead US
ito be tolerant Of a surplus of mer-
chandise imports over exports. On
the other hand, the present reversal
in the course of our foreign trade,
which is the result of both a decrease
in exports and an increase in i'm
ports, may be interpreted to indicate
the curtailment Of our markets abroad
as well as foreign encrOachment uDon
Oar domestic market.
Although we may pride ourselves
upon the fact that our foreign trade
In general and our exports in par
ticular have waxed in both value and
bulk since the war, whereas those OF
the leading countries of Europe are
still behind the pre-war totals, we
must recognize that there is some.
