"BELEAGUERED" BRITAIN
Exports and Imports More Goods
Than Ever
The explanation of the British
Government's ability to remove all
restrictions on raw materials needed
for her export trade is to he discov-
ered in the "accounts relating to the
trade of the United Kingdon" for the
first half of the year.
Over that period Britain's imports
have gone up by £164,739,621 to
4912,527,356 compared with last
year.
Exports are also millions of pounds
higher than last year, or even the
year before: a. total of £249,737.661
or £13,418,937 more than 1939, and
£16,544,145 up on the last year of
peace, in spite of the disappearance
of certain European markets. Trade
with U.S.A., South America, Canada,
South Africa and Australia, has, in
each case, been well maintained.
Coupled with the announcement
that more raw materials are to he
freed for exports is the damping
down of home purchases in Britain
both by the new taxation and by de-
finite ban such as the prohibition of
the sale of new motor cars for priv
ate use, The volume of exports, al-
ready soaring in the teeth of the
blockade", is expected. ae a result,
to go higher and higher.
