Latin America Buys More From
Than II Sells 10 the U. 5. A.

WASHINGTON Dring the last
few years the balance of trade of
the United States with the twenty
Latin American countries has been
favorable to this country. AL
though in 1855 the US. bought mo-
re than it sold to those countries,

then, according 10 figures publ

had SHOWN only a small increase to
1859, 900, 900. Last year, it was
So, 765. 100000.
Exports on the other hand, have
mushroomed.
In 1858 this country shipped So
921, 400, 900 Of its products to the
Latin American nations. In 1856,
it had. reached S., 689, 500, 900. and
it hit a high of 81, 446, ZOO, 900 last
year.

policy some American industries
will have to suffer meeting the
foreign competition, but it says
that the majority of them "are in
a position to meet that competi-
ton. 1t declares it is essential
that the law on reciprocal trade
agreements Should turn into a
permanent part of our national

The House of Representatives

of the protectionist members of
the Senate.
