War Doubles Exports
But Shifts Flow;
Farmers Suffer
Trade With British
And South America
Offsets Losses
(By Cambridge Associates)

Compared with 1888, the last CAL
endar year before the European War,
exports of goods from the United
States in 1910 showed an increase
of approximately l25 per cent.
More significant than this figure,
however, are the facts that Cd sup
plying the British and French war
machines accounted for practically
all Of the increase, and (2D exports
of agricultural commodities and
similar products actually declined,
while industrial products doomed.
Both trends are still in force, and
from the present viewpoint the out
look appears to favor accentuation
of the increase and the unbalance.
While exports to Asia and Oceania
Qargely Japan were declining,
largely as a result of the embargoes
on raw materials of war, Great Brit
ain and Canada bent all their efforts
towards surmounting the hurdle of
discount currencieS to tap United
States industrial resources.
British Orders Climb.
From a low of s31 100000 in No.
vember, 1899, the United Kingdom S
purchases here rose to S125, 900 900
in September. 1910, and orders
placed have already exceeded 81
000,000000. At present the pros
poets of extension of credit for fur
! ther purchases are being sounded
out, and at the same time, plans for
American shipWays to build mer-
chant vessels for Britain are being
explored as a means of stretching
her assets here as far as possible
Canadas part in total war so far
has been mainly industrial, and her
shipments to Great Britain have
doomed For her manufacture she
has had to call on the United States
to furnish her with raw materials
and manufactured goods, and
/ for this reason, Canada has re-
stricted some of her normal imports
/ from this country to conserve dol
lar exchange. Thus while the per-
centage increase of our exports to
/ Canada is less than that of our
shipments to England. our northern
neighbors buying power here is
practically unchanged since the be-
ginning Of the war.
American Trade Aided.
In South American countries. the
problem of exchange is becoming
acute We have gained in our ex-
ports to the south, as predicted, due
to the inability of European indus
trial nations to export machinery
and allied products. At the same

NEW YORK, Jan. latter a
period of almost seven years in
which prices of Government securi-
ties have continued to advance
without any prolonged interruption
We have come to q point where a
change in the direction Of this trend
can be visuaHzed, C. J, Devine,
president Of C. j. Devine & Co.,
declared today.
"We do not, as yet, have reasons
which are impressive enough to
make us expect a rapid and extern
sive decline in prices, but It ooeS
seem that the market has ap-
preached the highest levels which
NAV obtain for some time to come.
Conditions which have caused
the seven-year advance appear to
be changing. In recent years capt.
tai has moved TO the United States
so rapidly that even the Govern
ment's demands for funds could not
keep pace with the increase in our
credit base. Demands for credit
from sources other than the Gov
eminent were so small as to be
almost negligible.
Developments Of the past year
have altered these conditions. The
enbarkation of our Government
upon a program of national defense
unprecedented in its magnitude,
brings the prospect of increased de-
rand for credit by both Government
and industry. with consequent IN
crease in the earnings Of financial

Goodyear Chairman Urges
Great Defense Speed

industrial America is about to en-
bark upon one of the most critical
periods in our history-the first
quarter of l94l, P w. Litchfield,
chairman of the board, Goodyear
Tire q Rubber Co, said yesterday.
II we successfully emerge from
this supreme test, and I believe we
can and will, it will be because we
have made the best possible use of
every single minute that goes to
make up the quarter year; it will
be because we have applied our
selves with complete singlenesS of
purpose to the task of providing ade-
quately the materials for national
defense and aid to Britain" Mr..
Lltchfield added.
No consideration can be permit
ted to stand in the way of this objec-
tive. A fighting plane rolling off
the production line in January or
February is more valuable than a
half dozen similar planes completed
in April or May. The same values
apply to ships and other materials
of defense.
"As the crisis has developed, we
have been slow in getting under way.
Some delays were to be expected.
But there can be no more time lost
because the outcome of the war is
likely to be determined in the pc
Rod just ahead
"Of course this means that pay
rolls and employment will be high
in most branches of business. But
priorities and other emergency fac
tors may affect all present calcu-
lations as to the general level OF
business.
However, if we make proper use
of our time and facilities, the con-
/ ventional indices of business which
We generally stress in year-end fore
casting, probably will take care Of

products into home consumption.
Thus the pressure for extension OF
loans to Argentina, Brazil, and other
countries to permit them to con-
tinue as our customers until their
frozen assets thaw out.
Relations with Mexico are improv-
ing. There is evidence on both sides
of the border of a new attitude Of
conciliation and friendship. The
Mexicanization of foreign-oWned oil
lands seems closed 20 an amicable
settlement. If the Mexican economy
strengthens under Camacho, a re-
Vival of trade is certainty. 1t
should be remembered that the
exchange of goods between Canada
and the United States is the largest
between any two nations in the
world, and industrial growth Of
Mexico could bring large volume
Of orders to this country.
If we continue to finance our
trade with South America; if we
come to the aid of Great Britain
with credit when her purchasing
power is exhausted, the present level
of exports can be maintained and
perhaps increased. Not only the
demonstrated sympathies of the
American people are directing them
along this path, but we are fast
approaching the problem faced in
the last World War, when refusal to
extend additional credit to the Al
lies would obviously have caused a
slump in exports and started a gen.
eral depression.
The choice is apparently already
made, and unless Britain breaks
under the strain during the next
few months, we shall undoubtedly
continue to supply her war needs
both directly and indirectly, through
supporting the currencies of coun-
tries which are depicting their dol
lar reserves While SupplVing Britain

tinas financial and economic out

point of vieW-in the urgent need
OF a trade understanding with the
U. S. A.
The news of Americas decision to
grant financial assistance in the
form Of loan and credit facilities
totaling S10OOO0,000 to this republic
has produced considerable Satlsfac-
ton in circles of Argentine official
and public opinion. The utilization
Of those resources cannot but MOD
ify substantially the whole outlook
of United States trade interests IN
Argentina during the coming wear
and should lead to appreciable
relaxing of the drastic import re-
strictionS on United States goods
which were fCreShadoWed in the
finance ministry's study OF the
probable course of Argentine

Sterilization Sought.
Part of the loan will necessarily
be used for exchange stabilization
purposes, and it is reasonable to
dollar exchange which it places at
Arsentina's disposal will be allo-
Gated for increased import permits
for United States automobiles
tractors and agricultural ma
chiney, this group having been
drastically cut for 1941 from H.
100000 pesos TO 24000000.
But, while foreign loan and credit
facilities represent valuable con-
tributlon towards the mitigation OF
Argentlnas urgent financial ano
economic difficulties of the presen;
time, they are very far from pre-
Senting a solution of these diff
culties
The tale of Argentina's economic
woe is long one. The difficulties
are not to be solved by means OF
foreign loans. The country must
trade its produce for the where
Withal to supply its needs. While
the United States loan was well ap-
preciated in Argentina, there quite
naturally remains considerable
measure of reserve. Will the loar
be the forerunner of the trade
agreement which this country ear
nestly desires with the United

Construction Award!
Climb 40 Per Cent
Above Year Ago
Lumber Proves Only
Exception to Stable
Costs Trend

By CambrIdGe Associates
II It isn't actually construction
boom it's the closest thing to it
that the country has seen since
1929. The year-end finds building
contracts running about 40 per cent
above a year ago and nearly $1,000
100000 worth of defense construc-
ton work in prospect.
Even granting heavy reductions
In peaCetlme heavy engineering
projects and no further gains in
residential building it is still pos
slble to see a gain OF at least u per
cent in 194l construction totals.
Most Costs Steady.
AS a matter of fact, higher ma
tlonal income Will almost certainly
lead to further increases in home
building unless building costs get
wildly out OF line Most building
costs have remained fairly steady
despite the tremendous activity of
the past year. The cost of labor has
advanced only moderately. struc-
tural steel has remained unchanged
and the cost of brick, tile and ce-
ment is actually less now than a
year ago.
1t is only lumber that jumped
alarmlngly when the Government
began ordering huge quantities for
Army cantOnments and other de-
Tense needs. The trade says that
particular kinds Of lumber have
shown sharp increases and these due
to the Governments restricted spe-
ciflc3ions.
In any event, the general level of
lumber prices has caSed off from the
10-year high attained in October
and new production will probably
take care Of the tight situation ere
ated when mill stocks were brought
down by 8 per cent within short
time.
Housing a Problem. r
Aside from the direct demands of
the defense program for barracks,
administration buildings, airfeldS,
road and sanitary engineering prof.
ects, there is, Of course, a tremen-
dous attendant need for new indus
trial plants. power production IA
cilities and shipyards. Defense hous-
ing is expected to require dwelling
units for some $4,000 families.
According to the theory based on
past experience, building cycles run
from II to 20 years. The present
building cycle, which began in 1888,
could not be regarded as having
completed its upward phase and the
national defense drive has given the
trend a powerful impetus. Unless
costs generally run far ahead Of
other costs in 1941, a high level of
construction activity of all kinds,
except in engineering projects under
municipal sponsorship, can hardly
be avoided.
