Referring  again  to  the  all-British  Chart
given  in  Chapter  II.  and  the  International
Chart  given  in  this  chapter,  we  show,  at  the
foot  of  these  two  charts,  the  total  annual
values  and  annual  income  of  the  all-British
and  the  International  Investments  which  they
respectively  illustrate.  We  here  reproduce
them  in  tabular  form,  as  a  close  study  of  these
figures  proves  various  important  points.
