S. Department of Commerce, for which acknowledgment is hereby made. INTRODUCTION 1 This publication is a graphic analysis of the international trade of the United States in 1932. It contains 2 sets of charts, with accompanying tables and ex- planatory text. The first of the 24 flow charts portrays domestic exports and general imports of the United States to and from all countries, broken down into 11 commodity groups, each of which is in turn broken down into subgroups. The next 23 charts illustrate our trade with 23 countries. The 12 bar charts depict general imports into the United States. The first of these divides imports into 11 com— modity groups. In the next 11, imports in each commodity group are broken down into subgroups and the principal sources of each commodity are shown. In the trade of the United States with the 23 countries shown in the first set of charts, domestic exports in 1932 were 85 percent of our exports to all countries and general imports from these countries were 74 percent of our imports from the world. These analyses do not take into account indirect trade, which would materially affect the trade balances with some countries. Where indirect trade is known to be of any magnitude attention is called to the fact in the text but it is not possible to give quan- titative estimates of such trade. For example, the value of recorded exports to Ger- many is probably an overstatement because considerable quantities of our goods consigned to Germany ultimately reach Czechoslovakia and other countries. Imports from Australia are understated because much Australian wool comes in by way of England. In this analysis the primary break-down of world trade into 11 commodity groups follows the arrangement in the published statistics of Foreign Commerce and Naviga— tion of the United States. The division into these groups is based upon the relation- ship in kind between commodities. Within each group, therefore, are raw materials, semimanufactures, and finished products. Another break-down of our trade on the basis of degree of manufacture is shown in official statistics. In 1932 the distribution of our trade among these groups was as follows: Percentage that group is of total— Group_ Exports Imports A.

In this study of our international trade the analysis is based upon the figures for 1932, that being the last year for which detailed statistics are available. Trade in 1932 must not be taken as entirely indicative of trends in the immediate past, or even in 1933. Frequent comparisons are made in the text with other recent years. Cer- tain positive factors, aside from those arising out of recovery in world conditions, materially affect the trade with particular countries. For example, excise taxes im- posed by the Revenue Act of 1932 upon important items of imports, such as petro- leum and copper, and repeal of the eighteenth amendment have influenced the volume and the value of our trade with certain countries. No distinction is herein made between free and dutiable imports. In 1932 almost exactly two-thirds of our imports were on the free list. Over a period of time the relative importance of the free list has changed because of the shift in our national economy from agricultural to industrial. A direct relationship is apt to exist between the percentage of imports on the free list and the height of tariff duties. The propor- tion of free imports in 1932 varied greatly from one country of origin to another, usually, but with important exceptions, following the ratio of imports of raw materials, or products not produced in this country, to total imports. Likewise, variations existed between commodity groups. For example, in 1932, free imports in . the machinery and vehicles group were only 14 percent of the total imports; on the other hand in the wood and paper group 90 percent entered free. In this analysis, statistics of domestic exports and of general imports are used. Exports of imported merchandise are small, amounting to about $35,000,000 in 1932, a little more than 2 percent of total exports, and need not be considered except in a few cases as, for example, reexports of bananas to Canada. General imports rather than imports for consumption are necessarily used because in the published statistics breakdowns by countries are available only under general imports. The difference between general imports and imports for consumption was only $2,000,000 in 1932. This analysis is based upon values rather than upon quantities. It is generally recognized that values are more accurately reported for imports than for exports, par- ticularly so for imports dutiable at ad valorem rates. The quantum of trade should not be lost sight of although it is not practicable or even possible to analyze the'whole of our world trade on a quantity basis. Violent price changes affecting one or several important commodities will cause significant shifts in the distribution of trade among commodities or commodity groups. For example, the value of imports of crude rubber in 1932 was only 13 percent of that in 1928, but in quantity the imports in 1932 were 95 percent of those in 1928. This study is concerned only with the merchandise trade of the United States with other countries. It does not take account of the so-called “invisible items” which enter into and materially affect the balance of payments of the United States with the world and with particular countries. Reference is made to The Balance of Interna- tional Payments of the United States, an annual study of the Department of Commerce. According to this study, in 1932 the excess of our merchandise exports over imports was 247 million dollars after certain adjustments had been made. Taking into account the current invisible items, the balance of payments to our credit is found to be only 131 million dollars. How this balance was settled involves an analysis of gold and currency movements and of the exchange of capital. Analysis of the Import and Export Trade of the United States The Graphic Analysis of the Import and Export Trade of the United States is based entirely upon United States trade statistics. Mention is made on page 1 of the text and also in connection with certain of the country tables of the differences in the trade as shown by fereign statistics and as shown by United States statistics. Foreign and domestic statistics often differ widely There is the element of time in transit which increases with the distance the goods must be transported; the basis of valuing imports for statis— tical purposes also differs, some countries include transportation costs to the importing country, others using the value in the foreign country. In recent years the factor of currency exchange has also to be considered; in converting foreign values to United States currency it is customary to make conversions at the average rates for the year although most of the trade may have taken place when the exchange was above or below the average. In addition to the more or less general factors mentioned above, there are two factors which deserve special consideration inasmuch as they affect the statistics of some countries included in the Graphic Analysis much more than others. One factor of importance is that certain countries include in the totals for their merchandise trade certain items (especially gold and silver) not so included by other countries. The trade statistics of Mexico and to a lesser extent Canada, reflect this condition. The other and by far the most important factor is indirect trade. The in— direct trade of Switzerland, and of China through Hong Kong, is particularly important. To a lesser degree, indirect trade also affects the statistics of Australia, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, and the Union of South Africa. For countries where indirect trade is important, the import statistics of the for— eign countries are a better guide as to the United States exe ports to the country than are our can export statistics; on the other hand, the import statistics of the United States generally give a better basis for determining their exports to us than do the foreign statistics. In order to give a complete picture of the extent to which all of these factors affect the statistics for the various coun- tries the attached table compares the statistics of each country for the years 1928—32 (converted to dollars at the average annual rate of exchange) with the corresponding United States statistics. The table also gives the United States statistics of imports and exports for the year 1933 and for 11 months of 1934. The data thus permit a comparison of our trade for 1932 as depicted in the charts with our trade in earlier and in later years.

On subsequent pages are 23 charts, each showing in similar fashion our trade with a particular country. Balance of trade—In the international trade of the United States exports exceed imports. In 1932 the excess was approximately $250,000,000. The relation of the export balance in 1932 to our total trade did not differ widely from the relationshlp from 1928 to 1930. In 1931, however, the export balance was relatively small. Relative distribution in 1932—In 1932, 15 percent of our exports consisted of animal and vegetable food products; the proportion of our imports in these two groups was twice that. We require great quantities of tropical “and semltroplcal products, such as coffee, bananas, etc., but meet severe competltlon 1n export markets for our great staples, such as wheat. Cotton made up over one-fifth of our total exports in 1932 ; imports of textile raw ' materials such as silk and jute represented only about 10 percent of total imports. In the wood and paper group, our exports in 1932 were 3% percent of the total; our imports at the same time were one—eighth of all imports. In this group news- print, largely from Canada, made up 6% percent of all Imports; pulpwood and wood pulp, from Scandinavian countrles and Canada, accounted for 4 percent more. With the depletion of our northeastern forests of spruce and hemlock, the newsprmt Industry moved to Canada, whence our requirements are now largely supplied. About 17% percent of our exports in 1932 fell in the nonmetallic minerals group, of which over two—thirds were petroleum and its products. Our imports of this group were not quite 7 }6 percent of the total. The most significant difference between exports and imports in any one corn- modity group is in machinery and vehicles. Our imports of these were negllglble In 1932, whereas our exports accounted for one—seventh of our total exports. Changes in distribution from year to yam—Because the distribution of our exports and our imports among the several commodity groups Wines from year to year, that for 1932 is not entirely typical. Uneven price fluctuations affect this distrlbution; although we imported nearly as great a quantity of rubber in 1932 as we did in 1928, on a value basis the 1932 imports were only 13 percent of those in the former year. Comparing 1928 with 1932, significant changes in the distribution of our exports occurred in the following commodity groups.

In our import trade significant shifts occurred in the commodity groups con— taining agricultural and forestry products and their manufactures.

The values of imports of rubber and silk in 1932 were small percentages of those in 1928 but the quantities were almost the same. Concentration of trade—Approximately 54 percent of our exports in 1932 con- sisted of the following six commodities or commodity groups: Raw cotton, 21.8 percent; petroleum and products, 12.2 percent; automobiles and vehicles, 5.7 percent; fruits and nuts, 4.9 percent; tobacco and manufactures, 4.6 percent; and grains and preparations, 4.2 percent. In our im ort trade the following six commodities represented 40 percent of the total in 1932: offee, 10.3 percent; raw silk, 8.6 percent; cane sugar, 7.3 percent; news- print, 6.4 percent; wood pulp and pulpwood, 4 percent; and fruits and nuts, 3.5 percent.

In 1932 Argentina supplied about 1 percent of our total imports from all countries as compared with 2% percent in the years 1927 to 1930. Although taking 6 percent of the exports from Argentina in 1931, the United States has been a less important market for Argentine products than have a number of European countries which import beef, mutton, and wheat in large amounts. In 1931 about 16 percent of the imports into Argentina were obtained from the United States and 21 percent from the United Kingdom. Since 1931 the relative position of the United Kingdom in the trade with Argentina has improved because of a trade agreement between the two countries. In 1932 we sold twice as much to Argentina as we bought from her. The excess of exports from the United States to Argentina over imports therefrom was propor- tionately much larger than in other recent years because of the more rapid decline in United States imports from that country. / About 35 percent of our exports to Argentina in 1932 consisted of machinery and vehicles, which group accounted for only 14 percent of our exports to all countries. Argentina took a larger proportion of our metal manufactures and of our wood and paper products than did the world in general but a smaller share of animal products and vegetable foods. In 1932 textiles (chiefly raw cotton) constituted nearly 26 percent of our exports to all countries, but Argentina provided a market for only 12 percent, the United Kingdom being of more importance as a source of supply of finished fabrics. One third of the imports into the United States from Argentina in 1932 consisted of inedible animal products, such as hides, furs, and skins. Flaxseed represented 30 percent of our imports from Argentina in that year and comprised practically our whole importation. Quebracho extract, constituting over 11 percent of the total imports from Argentina in 1932, comes wholly from that country and from Paraguay by way of Argentina. Because of our quarantine regulations, we import no fresh or frozen beef or mutton.

As a market she took 1.7 percent of our exports in 1932 as compared with abOut 3 percent in 1928 and 1929 and 1.1 percent in 1931. On the other hand, the United States is an important source of supply for imports into Australia, furnishing 24 percent of the total in 1928 (fiscal year) and 16 percent in 1932 (fiscal year). In the same years 6 and 4 percent, respectively, of Australian export-s were sent to the United States. Our direct exports to Australia amount to several times the value of our direct imports from her. In 1932 this export balance was proportionately larger than in other recent years. Our indirect trade with Australia by way of the United Kingdom, principally in wool, is undoubtedly large but its amount is unknown. The distribution of our exports to Australia among the several commodity groups has been similar to that applicable to New Zealand. In 1932 exports of animal products and vegetable foods were negligible, whereas those of petroleum products, machinery and vehicles, and tobacco were important. In 1932 nearly one-half of our exports to Australia consisted of petroleum products for which we were the outstanding source of supply. Exports of these products to the world were only one-seventh of the total. As compared with some previous years these exports to Australia in 1932 sustained much less of a decline than did other exports. - In the same year 15 percent of our exports to Australia and to the world came under the machinery and vehicles group. Although 5% percent of our total exports to Australia were accounted for in 1932 by automobiles, parts, and accessories, this represented a severe drop from previous years. Whereas the United States was a source for over three-fourths of the total imports of automobiles, parts, and acces- sories into Australia in 1928, by 1932 the United Kingdom supplied over one-half of the total. Approximately 8 percent of our exports to Australia in 1932 consisted of ma- chinery, for which the United Kingdom is the principal source. Our exports of tobacco to Australia accounted for 6 percent of the total to her in 1932. We furnish the bulk of Australian imports of this commodity. Two commodity groups, i.e., inedible animal products and textiles, covered two-thirds of our imports from Australia as compared with only 25 percent from the world in 1932. Fine wool made up the textile group. For this, Australia is the principal source of imports; the United Kingdom supplies most of the remainder, which is largely Australian wool. In the inedible animal products group, undressed furs, principally coney and rabbit, accounted for 16% percent of the total imports from Australia in 1932 ; mother-of—pearl shells, 11 percent; and kangaroo and wallaby skins, 4% percent. Australia is the principal source for the last two items, but for undressed furs she lost ground in 1932 as compared with 1928 and 1931. Other important imports from Australia in 1932 were American goods returned (10 percent), sausage casmgs (8% percent), and copra (3 percent).

As a source of our imports, Belgium has been somewhat less important, sending us between 1% and 2 percent of the total. In 1932 about 8 percent of Belgian imports originated in the United States, as compared with 10 to 11 percent from 1926 to 1930. For the period 1930—33 only 5 percent of the exports from Belgium were to the United States, a decline from 11 percent in 1926. Our trade with Belgium results regularly in large export balances. There is a considerable indirect trade with European countries and Belgian possessions via Bel- gium which would affect the trade balances, but this trade cannot be segregated. The distribution of United States exports to Belgium among the 11 commodity groups was not far different from that shown by our world trade in 1932. Our principal exports to Belgium in 1932 were automobiles, parts, and accessories (18 percent); raw cotton (15 percent): petroleum products (14 percent); and wheat (7 ii Percent). Automobile parts exported to Belgium are assembled there, and subsequently the finished products find a market in other countries, as well as in Belgium. Un- doubtedly many of the completed automobiles imported by Belgium are reexported also. Approximately 15 percent of our exports to Belgium consisted of cotton, as compared with 22 percent to the world. As in our trade with other western European countries, petroleum products and fruits constitute considerable percentages of our exports to Belgium. Belgium took a larger proportion of our wheat in 1932 than went to the world in general, but a far smaller share of copper than in some prior years. Our exports of copper to her are now negligible.‘ Fifty-five percent of our imports from Belgium in 1932 were in the nonmetallic minerals and the textiles groups, as compared with less than one-half of this ratio for imports from all countries. In 1932 diamonds accounted for 30 percent of United States imports from Belgium, as compared with 22 percent in 1928. Belgian statistics, however, indicate that diamonds made up 43 percent of the exports to the United States in 1928 and 22 percent in 1932. Under the act of 1922 all diamonds were dutiable; under the act of 1930 uncut diamonds were on the free list and the duty on cut diamonds, which form the bulk of the Belgian imports, was halved. Belgium is one of the important sources of certain textile products, such as woven fabrics of linen and cotton cloth. Almost 7 percent of the imports from Belgium in 1932 consisted of fertilizers, principally ammonium sulphate, potassium chloride, and potassium sulphate. In the same year 8 percent of the imports were such iron gnddsteel lproducts as structural shapes, concrete reinforcement bars, and hoop and an stee . . I See Chile.

In the trade of Brazil, the United States is not only the principal market, usually buying about 45 percent of Brazilian exports, but also the chief source of imported goods, accounting in 1932 for 30 percent of the total from all countries. Our trade with Brazil consistently shows large import balances. Because of the more precipitous decline in exports than in imports this balance was relatively larger in 1932 than in other recent years. In 1932 four—fifths of the exports from the United States to Brazil wereincluded in three commodity groups, i.e., vegetable food products (38 percent), machinery and vehicles (25% percent), and nonmetallic minerals (16% percent). Vegetable food products were only 11 percent of our exports to all countries and included large uantities of fruits as well as of grains. Wheat was the outstanding item sent to Brazil in 1932, accounting for about 36 percent of our total exports there. In 1928 practically no Wheat was exported to Brazil, and in 1931 only one-tenth of our exports to her consisted of this commodity. The large exports of wheat resulted from a trade, consummated by the Farm Board, under the terms of which we took Brazilian coffee in exchange for our wheat. This wheat displaced our exports of wheat flour which had accounted for over 5 percent of the total exports to Brazil in 1928. Machinery and vehicles were relatively almost twice as important in our export trade with Brazil as with the world in general. Animal products and textiles were comparatively unimportant. Considered asasource of imports into the United States, Brazil is essentially aone- commodity country. In 1932 coffee represented over 84 percent of the total imports from her. Colombia has been increasing in importance as a supplier of coffee but even so, over 60 percent of the uantity of imports of coffee from all countries in 1932 came from Brazil. On a value asis, however, Brazilian coffee accounted for only 50 percent of the total. The only other commodities imported from Brazil in 1932 in any quantity were cocoa beans, goat and kid skins, and nuts.

About 3% percent of our imports came from that source in 1928, after which there was a gradual decline to 2% percent in 1932. The United States took 12 percent of Indian exports in 1929 (fiscal year) and 9 percent in 1932 (fiscal year). On the other hand, we furnished India with 7 per— cent of her imports in 1929 and with 10 percent in 1932. The indirect trade between the United States and British India by way of the United Kingdom, not accounted for in these figures, is considerable. The direct trade of the United States with India has given rise to large import balances, imports being usually valued at more than twice the value of exports. In 1932, however, the excess of imports over exports was proportionately far less than in previous'years because imports declined at a greater rate than did exports. United States exports of animal and vegetable food products to British India were smaller in proportion to total trade than those to the world. In 1932 almost 30 percent of our exports to India consisted of cotton, as compared with 22 percent to all countries. In prior years, however, cotton was considerably a less important item. India is a large producer of short-staple cotton but imports considerable quantities of the medium-staple from us. Crop shortages in India in 1931 and 1932 gave rise to the unusual imports. India is an important market for machinery and vehicles, our exports of which represented 19 percent of the total to her in 1932 ; this was twice the proportion that the world took in that year. Our exports of petroleum products to India are large (one-tenth of the total) but somewhat less in relation to our total trade with India than with the world. Exports of leaf tobacco accounted for 6 percent of the total to India in 1932, and tires and tubes 3% percent. Ninety-five percent of our imports from British India in 1932 were included in four commodity groups, i.e., textiles (61 percent), vegetable products except wood and food (14 percent), vegetable food products (11 percent), and inedible animal products except wool (9 percent). In the main, unmanufactured commodities form the bulk of the imports. India is the chief source of supply of our imports of jute and jute products. In 1932 jute burlap, used in making bags for packing various products, and bagging for cotton bales, alone accounted for over one-half of the total imports from India. In the same year 8 percent of our imports were goat and kid skins, but for these India was less important as a source than previously. India is the outstanding source of supply of certain products such as lac and shellac, cashew nuts, and castor beans, which are not produced in this country.

In 1932 about 15 percent of the exports from this country went there and 12 percent of our imports originated there. In the foreign trade Of Canada, the United States was not only the outstanding source of imports in 1932, 58 percent originating there, but also the principal market, taking 34 percent of Canadian exports in that year. Our trade with Canada has shown large balances of exports over imports. In 1932, however, this balance was smaller in proportion to total trade than in other recent years because of the greater decline in our exports to Canada. The exports from the United States to Canada are extremely varied. In 1932, for most Of the 11 commodity groups, the percentages of our exports to Canada approximated those to the world. Important exceptlons were the textiles and non- metallic minerals groups. Textiles represented 6% percent of our total exports to Canada, as compared with 26 percent to all countries; nonmetallic minerals formed approximately 35 percent to Canada, as compared with 18 percent to the world. Our exports of coal to Canada account for the difference in the latter group. In addition to domestic exports to Canada, we reexport to her certain foreign commodi- ties, principally bananas. United States imports from Canada are concentrated in a few groups. In 1932 nearly 62 percent of our imports from Canada consisted of articles in the wood and paper group, whereas only 5 percent from the rest of the world fell in this category. Newsprint paper, included Within the group, in 1932 accounted for over 42 percent of all imports from Canada and for over 85 percent Of the imports of this product from the world. The percentages of imports from Canada in the two vegetable products groups and in the textile group are small compared with those from the world in general. Many Canadian products are the same as our own, and there is no Canadian production Of important commodities such as silk, rubber, and coffee, which fall in these groups. It will be noticed that American goods returned to this country accounted for over 5 percent of the total imports from Canada in 1932. TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH CHILE 1932 3!

Our imports from her have been consistently more than exports to her. In 1932 the excess of imports was much larger proportionately to total trade than at any time within recent years because our exports to her declined at a faster rate than did our imports from her. The more important articles of export in 1932 were in the textiles, nonmetallic minerals, and machinery and vehicles groups. Cotton yarns and cloth, fuel and lubricating oils, and electrical and industrial machinery, largely used in the extractive industries of Chile, were a larger percentage of our exports to Chile than to the world in general. Exports of agricultural products and vegetable foods were small. Three commodities; i.e., refined copper, crude iodine, and sodium nitrate, con- stituted over three-fourths of the total 1mports from Chile in 1932. Although 50 percent of the imports of refined copper came from Chile in 1932, most of the remain- der being from Canada, in some previous years Chile was practically our sole foreign source of supply. This copper was fabricated in the United States, and its products were then available for sale here and abroad. Since the imposition of the excise tax by the Revenue Act of 1932 upon imported copper, a great deal of refined copper has been shipped directly from Chile to Europe and the remainder fabricated here in bond for ex ort. Alimost all imports of crude iodine and sodium nitrate have come from Chile. The substitution of other fertilizer materials and the development of synthetic nitrogenous fertilizers have resulted in a drastic decline in our imports of sodium nitrate.

In 1928 her share of our trade was 2.7 and 3.4 percent, respectively. Including trade with the British territory of Hong Kong, these percentages would be about one-sixth greater in 1932. As a market for Chinese exports, the Umted States ranked next to Japan, taking about one-eighth of the total exports from China in 1932. Exports to Hong Kong also were larger, but most of such exports were reexported to other foreign countries. As a source of imports into China, we stand first, having displaced Japan in 1931. In 1932 United States exports to China were more than twice as great as imports from her but, prior to 1931, the balance was on the import side. Here again indirect trade should be considered in arriving at a correct estimate. Of the two animal products groups, United States exports to China in 1932 were relatively much smaller than to the world in general. On the other hand, cotton constituted nearly 40 percent of our exports to China in 1932 as compared with 22 percent to all countries. Similarly, tobacco represented 5 percent of our world exports as compared with 14 percent in our Chinese trade. Exports of petroleum products to China were considerable but accounted for no larger a share of the total than in our world trade. Wheat and wheat flour represented over 8 percent of our total exports to China in 1932. Our position as a source for these products improved relatively and abso- lutely as compared with 1928, largely because of an agreement by which China pur- chased wheat and flour on long-term credits extended to her in the stabilization operations of the Farm Board. The proportion of machinery and vehicles in our exports to China in 1932 was only one-half of that to the world. Almost 40 percent of United States imports from China in 1932 were textiles and another 30 percent inedible animal products (except wool and hair), much greater proportions than from the world in general. Although raw silk represented 13% percent of our imports from China in 1932, over 90 percent of our tetal imports of this commodity come from Japan. Other imports in the textile group were oriental rugs, human hair, and hand embroidered articles of linen, such as handkerchiefs. Undressed furs, such as weasel, kolinski, and lamb, kid, sheep, and goat, ac- counted for 15 percent of the total imports from China in 1932. As a source of supply for these products, China stood next to the United Kingdom in 1932. All of our imports of tung oil (used in varnishes) come from China. These amounted to one—eighth of the total imports in 1932. TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH COLOMBIA 1932 39 UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION UNITED STATES TRADE WITH COLOMBIAJQBZ.

As a source of our imports, Colombia has increased in importance in recent years and furnished us with over 4% percent Of the total in 1932. The United States has supplied Colombia with over twolfifths of her imports and has taken three-fourths Of her exports in recent years. For years our trade with Colombia has resulted in very large import balances. In 1932 the excess of imports over exports was proportionately greater than in prior years because Of the great decline in our exports to her. United States exports to Colombia are varied but are characterized by smaller proportions Of animal and vegetable products (except textiles and wood) and petro- leum products than go to the world; we furnish Colombia with larger proportions of industrial and electrical machinery and iron and steel manufactures. In 1932 over one-fifth of our exports to Colombia were cotton cloth and wearing apparel. Industrial machinery accounted for 11 percent of the total in 1932 and comprised a great variety Of articles, of which machines used in petroleum produc- tion and in textile Operations were important. As a source Of imports Colombia may be considered as a two-product country. In 1932 coffee represented three-fourths and crude petroleum almost one-fifth of our imports from her. The importance of Colombia as a source of supply of coffee has increased. In 1932, although only 24 percent of the quantity of imports of coffee came from her, on a value basis the proportion was 34 percent, indicating that coffee from Colombia is high grade. In 1932 Colombia ranked next to Venezuela as a source of petroleum imports, having passed Mexico and Netherland West Indies since 1928. In 1933 crude petro- leum represented only one-tenth of our imports from Colombia as compared with one-fifth in 1932. The imposition of an excise tax by the Revenue Act of 1932 upon imported petroleum may have had something to do with this decline.

As a market Cuba has declined in importance since the period 1922—25 when the price of sugar was relatively higher than it has been since. During that period Cuba supplied us with 9 percent of our total imports from the world but after 1927 with only 4 or 5 percent. In 1932 about 70 percent of the exports from Cuba found a market in this country as compared with 80 and 85 percent from 1922 to 1925. In the import trade of Cuba, we lost position, furnishing 54 percent of the total in 1932, 61 percent in 1928, and about 68 percent from 1922 to 1925. Our trade with Cuba results in large import balances. In 1932 the excess of imports over exports was greater than the total value of the exports and proportion- ately larger than the import balances in previous years. United States exports to Cuba are diversified, consisting largely of manufactured articles. In 1932 we shipped to Cuba relatively more animal and vegetable foods, wood and paper products, and chemicals than to the world in general. On the other hand Cuba took from us smaller proportions of certain commodit groups, such as vegetable products other than foods and wood, nonmetallic minera s, and machinery and vehicles. In 1932 about 8 percent of our exports to Cuba consisted of lard, hams, bacon, and other pork products. In the same year one-tenth of our exports to Cuba was wheat flouli. Altogether animal and vegetable foods accounted for over one-fourth of the tota . Although the textile group included approximately one-fourth both of our ex orts to Cuba and to the world in 1932, the commodities in this group exported to Cu a as contrasted to those going to all countries were radically different. Raw cotton accounted for 22 percent of the world exports; Cuba took practically none. Exports of cotton cloth and duck to Cuba were one-eighth of all exports to her; only a small percentage of the total exports to other countries was accounted for by these manufactures. Other exports to Cuba in 1932 were scattered among the various commodity classes. Petroleum and its products represented about 6 percent of the total exports to Cuba, or only one-half of the proportion that went to the world in general. Auto- mobiles, parts, and accessories were of less importance in our trade with Cuba than with the world. Certain other products, such as paper manufactures, industrial chemi- cals, and coal, were of considerably more importance. As a source of imports Cuba is a one-product country. In 1932 over 65 percent of our imports from there consisted of cane sugar and 6% percent more of molasses. In 1928 cane sugar made up over three—fourths of our imports from the island. Cuba is practically the sole source of imports of dutiable sugar. (Duties on imports of Cuban products are 20 percent less than those applicable to other foreign imports.) Large quantities of sugar, however, are received free of duty from Puerto Rico, the Philip- pines, and Hawaii. Among the remainder of the imports from Cuba in 1932, filler tobacco for cigars accounted for one-eighth of the total. Cuba is the only foreign source. Fruits and vegetables made up 6% percent. These products when not semitropical specialties are grown and imported before the main season begins in this country. Other im orts from Cuba account for only small percentages of the total. Cuba was the princlpal foreign source of raw pineapples and sponges. TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH FRANCE 1932 47 UNITED STATES TARlFF COMMISSION ITED STATES TRADE WITH FRANCEJ932.

About 4 percent of our imports usually come from France, although in 1932 proportionately less came from that source. In addition to our trade with France, direct exports to French colonies and mandates amounted to about $13,000,000 in 1932 and direct imports from her posses- sions in the same year were $4,500,000. Normally France sends us about the same proportion of her exports to the world as we furnish to her of our world e'xports. We rank among the more important sources of imports into France, supplying her with 9 percent of the total in 1931. Our trade with France results in large annual excesses of exports over imports. In 1932 the export balance was proportionately larger than usual, because of the severe drop in our imports from France. Our exports to France in 1932 were distributed among the 11 commodity groups in much the same way as our exports to the world in general. In that year over 30 percent of our exports to France consisted of raw cotton, as compared with 22 percent to the world. We sent her in 1932 a larger proportion of petroleum and its products, amounting to almost 20 percent of our exports to France, than the world took. As a source of imports of petroleum products into France, however, we lost ground in 1931 as compared with 1928 except in the case of lubricating oils. Exports of fresh and dried fruits to France accounted for 5 percent of the total In 1932. The remainder of our exports to France are varied, leaf tobacco making up 3.3 percent of the total in 1932 and refined copper 3.6 percent. In 1932 almost 50 percent of United States imports from France fell in the textile and the miscellaneous groups. Imports of textiles from France, 27 percent of the total imports from her, consisted largely of specialties such as laces, high-grade cotton rugs, and manufactures of silk and wool. In that year 18 percent of our imports from the world were textiles but unmanufactured materials, such as raw silk, made up the larger portion of these imports. Art works, another important item in our import trade with France, accounting for possibly 15 percent of the total in 1932 as compared with 2 or 3 percent from the world in general. Over 9 percent of our imports from France in 1932 consisted of cigarette paper, that country being practically our only foreign source of supply. The remaining imports were diversified, many of them being luxury items, such as perfumes, precious stones, and specialty cheeses.

She furnished us with about 5% Percent of our imports in both 1928 and 1932 but ranked below four other sources in 1928 and below six others in 1932. The trade of the United States with Germany regularly results in export balances. In 1932 the excess of exports to Germay over imports from her was proportionately greater than in 1930 and 1931 because of the more precipitous falling off in imports than in exports. Indirect trade with European countries, such as Czechoslovakia, by way of the German free ports is considerable, but its amount is not known. Raw cotton dominates our export trade with Germany, accounting for 52 per- cent of the total to her in 1930, 40 percent in 1931, and 47 percent in 1928. Approxi- mately one—fifth of our total exports of cotton is consigned to Germany. A consider— able part of this cotton, however, ultimately reaches other markets, as Czechoslovakia, by way of the German free ports. In 1932 exports of lard and fruits to Germany accounted for about 7 percent of the total in each case and were proportionately larger than to the world in general. On the other hand, exports of petroleum and its products to Germany in 1932 (nearly 7 percent of the total) were relatively small, being only half as important as in our world trade. Our exports of chemicals and of machinery and vehicles to Germany were rela- tively unimportant in 1932 as compared with exports to other countries. In contrast to our trade with some other European countries, exports of tobacco to Germany were small. Imports from Germany are extremely varied, although their distribution among the large commodity groups is far different from that in our world trade. Imports of animal food products and vegetable products (except textiles and wood) were relatively small in 1932, but chemicals, inedible animal products, and miscellaneous articles (principally manufactured) were imported in large amounts. Germany is a leading supplier of undressed furs, cotton gloves, leather gloves, leather, fertilizers, and coal-tar products. Also, we buy such German specialties as glassware, potassium and sodium compounds, scientific instruments, and musical instruments in considerable amounts. Particularly noticeable are our imports of certain kinds of German industrial machinery.

The indirect trade is largely imports by way of the United Kingdom, but how much it increases the total is not known. In 1932 New Zealand sent us directly 2% percent of her exports, only one-third of the percentage shown for 1928. The United States, next to the United Kingdom, is the chief source of imports into New Zealand. In 1932 one-seventh of the total imports came from this country, a small decline from 1928. The United States regularly exports a great deal more to New Zealand than she imports from her. In 1932 the excess of exports over imports was proportionately greater than in other recent years because imports from New Zealand declined more precipitously than did exports to her. New Zealand furnishes an export market for relatively small amounts of animal products and vegetable foods, these commodities being produced there. Exportsof nonmetallic minerals, largely petroleum and its products, made up 17% percent of our total exports to the world in 1932, whereas to New Zealand they accounted for 57 percent of the total. In 1932 exactly one-third of our exports to New Zealand consisted of gasoline. Other petroleum products accounted for an additional 15 percent of the total. The United States, as a source of supply for New Zealand of these products, lost ground in 1932 as compared with 1928 except in the case of lubricating oil. We sent a larger proportion also of tobacco and manufactures to New Zealand in 1932 than to other countries. Machinery and vehicles accounted for about 14 percent of our total exports to the world and to New Zealand in 1932 but, within this group, almost 5 percent of the exports to New Zealand consisted of radio apparatus as compared with proportion- ately smaller exports of these products to the world. Two-thirds of our imports from New Zealand in 1932 were animal products other than wool and hair. Only one-tenth of the imports from all countries fell in this category. Sheep and lamb skins made up one-third of our imports from New Zealand and represented one—fifth of the total imports of this commodity from the world. Sausage casings accounted for 17 percent of the total in 1932 although New Zealand is a relatively unimportant source of supply. Wool accounted for one—tenth of our imports from New Zealand; and American products returned to the United States over 6 percent.

In 1932 we were a market for about 8 percent of exports from Norway and fur- nished her with approximately the same proportion of imports. As compared with 1928, however, we were considerably less of a factor in the world trade of Norway. N o uniformity can be observed in the balances arising out of our trade with Nor- way. Statistics for 1931 and 1932 indicate large import balances, but those for some previous years show export balances. Because of discrepancies in United States and Norwegian statistics arising partly out of the fact that indirect trade is considerable and that we usually import great quantities of products of the floating whaling industry not reported as exports to us, any statements as to general trade should be accepted with caution. United States exports to Norway are quite diversified. In 1932 a larger propor- tion of them consisted of vegetable products (except wood) than went to the world in general. On the other hand textiles were relatively unimportant; raw cotton, for example, accounted for 53-3 percent of exports to Norway as compared with 22 percent to the world. In 1932 about 8 percent of our exports to Norway consisted of fruits, such as fresh apples, dried prunes, etc., of which the United States is the principal source not only for Norway but for other western European countries as well. Wheat flour made up about 8 percent of our exports to Norway in 1932, a con- siderably larger proportion than to other countries, but our exports of wheat to her were small. Another 8 percent of our exports to her consisted of tobacco and its products, for which we are the outstanding source. In 1932 these commodities accounted for only 4% percent of our exports to the world. As in our export trade with many other countries, petroleum products to Norway accounted for over 15 percent of the total. Norway took about the same proportion of machinery and vehicles as did the world in general in 1932. Eighty-five percent of United States imports from Norway in 1932 fell in the commodity groups of animal foods, wood and paper, and metals, as compared with about 20 percent from all countries. Although one-third of the total imports were chemical wood pulp, Norway ranks below Canada, Sweden, and Finland as a source of our supply. Newsprint paper, in the wood and paper group, accounted for 8 percent of the total imports in 1932, an increased proportion over some previous years, but the percentage was small compared with our imports of this product from Canada. Norway is the principal source of our imports of sardines, which made up over one—fifth of the total imports from her in 1932. She is also our principal source of cod and cod-liver oil, although in 1928 she ranked below the other sources in the case of cod oil. Cod oil and cod-liver oil made up one-tenth of our imports from Norway in 1932. Whale oil has been an important item in our trade with Norway. N o imports were entered in 1932 because of large stocks on hand and restrictions as to the catch. We import certain metal alloys in considerable amounts from Norway.

In contrast, the United States ranks first as a source of imports into Spain, supplying her with one-sixth of the total in 1928 and 1932. As a market for Spanish exports we ranked fourth in 1932, taking 7 percent of the total to the world, as compared with 10 percent in 1928. The trade of the United States with Spain results in export balances, which have been greater in recent years than the value of our imports from her. Spain is a relatively unimportant market for exports of animal products and for vegetable foods. In contrast to other western European markets our exports of fruits to her are wholly negligible. Almost one-half of the United States exports to Spain in 1932 consisted of raw cotton; as a market for this commodity, she was on a par with Italy. Although petroleum and its products accounted for one-tenth of our exports to Spain in 1932, a somewhat smaller proportion of our exports of these commodities went to Spain than to the world in general. Exports of machinery and vehicles, of which auto- mobiles, parts, and accessories were important, amounted to almost one-fifth of the total to Spain in 1932. In 1932 over one-fourth of our imports from Spain were olive oil and one-fifth olives. Spain has been second to Italy as a source of supply of olive oil, accounting for one- third to one-fourth of our imports of this commodity. About nine-tenths of the imports of olives into the United States came from Spain. Spain is the principal source of imports of such products as almonds, paprika, and pimientoes, and ranks second as a source of cork.

L t SWEDEN Sweden was a market in 1932 for about 1 percent of United States exports and a source of 2 percent of our imports. Statistics of our trade with Sweden show extreme variations in recent years. In 1932, as illustrated by the chart, our imports from her were much larger than our exports to her. On the other hand, in 1928 and 1929 our exports to Sweden were greatly in excess of our imports from her. Swedish statistics in all recent years indi- cate import balances in Sweden’s trade with us. If adjustments are made for differ- ences, our imports from Sweden usually just about balance our exports to her. Our exports of fruits, cotton, gasoline, tobacco, and automobiles to Sweden, as to other western European markets, are important. In 1932 our exports of these commodities constituted about 55 percent of the total to Sweden. Wood pulp accounted for over 73 percent of our imports from Sweden in 1932. It was largely chemical pulp, of which 40 percent of the total imports is credited to that countr , although some of it may have originated in Finland. Although 95 percent of our imports from Sweden consisted of newsprint paper, we obtain this commodity largely from Canada. Certain high-grade steel products, such as steel strips used in the production of safety-razor blades, are imported from Sweden.

The United States furnished Switzerland with 6% percent of her imports in 1932 and bought 9 percent of Swiss exports. As compared with 1928, however, we had lost position both as a market and as a source. The above percentages, showing the relative positions of the United States and Switzerland in their trade with the world, should be used with caution because they do not take into account a large indirect trade between the two countries. Although United States and Swiss statistics are in disagreement as to the direction of the balance of trade arising out of their dealings with each other, proper adjust- ments indicate that we export more to Switzerland than we import from her. In 1932 almost one-half of United States exports to Switzerland were in the group machinery and vehicles as compared with 14 percent to the world in general. Auto- mobiles, parts, and accessories accounted for 21 percent; radio apparatus, 10 ercent; and office appliances, 9 percent. Other important commodities ex orted to w1tzer- land in 1932 were leaf tobacco (12 percent), leather (8 percent), an tires (5 percent); in each case the ratio of exports of the commodity to total exports was far greater than was the case with world trade. We are the principal source of supply for most of these commodities. Three commodities made up one-half of our imports from Switzerland in 1932. Cheese accounted for over 22 percent of the total; but Switzerland was a poor second to Italy as a source of supply. Almost 15 percent of_ the imports from Switzerland consisted of coal-tar colors, dyes, and stains, of which dyes were the important item. Germany is the principal source of coal-tar products, but Switzerland in 1932 had gained position as compared with 1928. Traditionally noted for her international trade in watches, in 1932 watches, parts, and movements represented only 11 percent of our total imports from Switzerland. However, practically all of our imports of these articles originate in that country and, if smuggled goods could be taken into account, the imports would be much larger.‘ In 1932 over 18 percent of our imports from the world consisted of textiles, which were largely raw materials, such as silk. In that year almost 32 percent of our imports from Switzerland fell in this roup and included specialt products, such as cot-ton cloth (9 percent), hat materiafi of rayon (8 percent), an silk manufactures (5 percent). ’ TRADE OF THE UNITED.

As a market for South African exports we are relatively of little importance, but as a source of her imports we rank next to the United Kingdom. In 1932 about .13 percent of the imports into the Union were credited to the United States. ConSId- ering the indirect trade by way of the United Kingdom, the importance of South Africa as a source of imports and possibly as a market for exports is somewhat greater. Exports from the United States to South Africa have been regularly about s1x times as great as imports from that country in recent years. . United States exports of animal and vegetable products (except wood) to South Africa are much smaller in proportion to total trade than are such exports to the world in general, partly because these commodities are produced there. Exports of textiles, also, were relatively smaller because little raw cotton is bought by the Union. Although our exports of machinery and vehicles to the world represented only 14 percent of the total in 1932, this roup accounted for 43 percent of the exports to SouglégAfrica. Exports of automobi es and chassis, 14 percent of the total, declined in 1 . Three-fourths of our imports from South Africa in 1932 were accounted for by diamonds (29}; percent), copper (19% percent), sheep and lamb skins (16% percent), and wool (8 }§ percent). South Africa is relatively unimportant as a source of imports of copper, .sheep and lamb skins, and wool. . For rough or uncut diamonds, however, South Afrlca is one of the two principal sources, the other being the Belgian Congo. In some years, but not in 1932, there have been large indirect imports of diamonds from South Africa by way of England. Few cut diamonds are imported from the Union; the Netherlands and Belgium are the chief sources of su pl . Imports from South Africa in 1932 were entirely neg igilile for edible animals and their products, wood and paper, machinery and vehicles, and chemicals. In 11932 over 11 percent of our imports from South Africa were returned American goods.
