GREAT BRITAIN AND
THE UNITED STATES
(By E. J. D,eaeb nan).
The Americans are amazing pro-
pagandists. To read the average Am-
erican paper one would imagine that
Great Britain '.Was on its last legs
the. United States only resting awhile
before plunging forward. Even Can-
adian papers accept .the American
viewpoint. That is only !lateral. Am-
erican publications are close to us.
We see them every day. We get, their
viewpoint. We are _ to some extent,
overawed by the force of numbers.
The exports of Great Britain dur-
ing the first seven months of 1929,
amounted to £424,261,91.7. During:.the
corresponding period of 1930, .exports
totalled, (3555;597;725. There: was there-
fore in this period a decline of ex
ports of £68,664,252. To make it 'slip
eesier on the tongue • on this 'side of
the water, let us state it in dollars
and say that in, the seven •months
ending Julylast, exports from Great
Britain' were $334;000,000 Jess than
they ;were in the corresponding :.per-
iod'of 1929. Put on a percentage ba-
sis,'this ,represents a decline of 16.2%
Turning now to our American
friends we find that during the first
seven months 'of 1929, their domestic
exports totalled $2,972.,313,000. and
during the corresponding , period of
1930, the total was $2;301,842,000, A
decline of $670,471,000. Putting this
on a percentage basiswe find that
exports from the United States ' de-
clined 22,6%; Evidently the, Ameri
cans went down a much sharper hill
than the British Apparently the -Am-
ericans went backward 40% ' more
rapidly than the British.
The United : States is a large' ex-
porter of raw materials. Approxima-
tely of American exports are raw
cotton—the rawest of raw products.
Perhaps , .that; . may account • for the
erash`in her export values. When we
acme to the export of manufactured
prodiicts alone, how do the two Nat-
ions . compare during this • time of
stress and storm. Trade has been bads
Both countries record declines in the
volume of exports of manufactured
goods. The .world's purchasing power
has fallen.off. Great Britain's 'exports
of manufacturedproducts fell from
£337,260,901 in the first; seven decline
of $57,980;819 or putting it. upon a
percentage' basisit represents a de-
cline in exports during this period of
11.2%d.
During the same period, American
exports of 1naliufactu'red goods • de-
clined from $2,290,964,000 to $1,800,-
572,000,
1,800;572,000, a drop of $490,392,000 or a
decline ie ,this period of 21.4%.
Are conditions improving so .far as
the United States is concerned ? • If
we take the last month for which the
figures ef both are ' available, the
month of 'July, it records a drop in
the exports of manufactured .goods
-front the United States, in July this
year as compared with July last year,
of 35%, while during the same period
the decline' in Great Britain was 27%
A Painful Downfall
It is estimated . by leading Maher -
ides in the United States that there
has been an actual decrease in the
total number of industrially employ
ed between September 1929 arid Sep-
tember 1930 of 1,675,000 people. This
represents the decline in the industry
there has been beyond question, .3
very great decline in the number em-
ployed in what is commonly called,
"the white-collar classes,” ' 'clerks,
stenographers, etc. The declipe in
monthly wages has been Born $979,-
000,000 in September last_ year to
$719,000,000 in the correspondieg
month this year, a 'decline of $20,-
000,000 in the monthly payroll of in-
dustry. Multiply that item by 12 and
you have $3,120,000,000 as the decrea-
se
in industrial wages paid in a year
and a corresponding decrease of ,Am-
erican purchasing, power. American
exports in 12 months will not greatly.
exceed this sum. ,The decline of Atii-
erican • purchasing power this year
as compared with Last, will be com-
parable to a diaster which would
wipe- out entirely, America's expbrt
nfa'rkets. ,
