EXPORTSSP SPURRED
BY NEW DOLLAR
Brisk Expansion in Volume
on Lower Basis Held
Real Benefit.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, April THE de-
valued dollar, despite tariffs, import
restrictions and other barriers to
world trade, is being reflected by a
brisk expansion of the dollar volume
of our exports.
Exports in February, the first full
month of the dollar of Is 5-21 grams
of gold, at $162, 05,OoO, were 60 per
cent over February of last year, when
sales of our goods abroad were reck-
oned in terms of the oiG gold dollar,
of 2545 grains, 9-10ths fine.
Actually, the old dollar was SO per
cent higher than the new dollar, so
in terms of gold, our exports last
February were not quite up to the
level of that month year previously.
But as our costs and profits are
reckoned in the new dollar, which will
buy almost as much as 1t would a
year previously, barring the small re-
duction in purchasing power Iesultjng
from rising costs, the 60 per cent in
crease is a real increase. The Federal
Reserve index figures, indicate that
the dollar cost of living rose Cnly

The gold bloc, which is still keeping
its currencies at old PARTIES, is being
watched most closely by exporters.
Germany, an ally of the gold bloc in
that it keeps its Reichsmark pegged,
is attracting Particular attention, for
that country is large purchaser of
American goods. With the Reich
banks reserves now under 7 per cent,
some quarters see the possibility of de-
valuation, despite the German fear of
imitation as result of the disastrous
postwar experience.
