exports fell, and in the same years the 
United States’ exports rose. In three years 
the process was reversed. In the other five

rose more or less disproportionately to the 
simnltaneons rise or fall in the exports of the 
United States. When our trade has fallen, the 
trade of the United States has risen, and vice 
versa. And the predominant rises are further

trade of the world. 
The next thing to look at is the share 
of the United Kingdom and the share 
of the United States in the exports of the 
world.
