The figures of French exports have been omitted from the foregoing comparative tables on account of material differences in she classification of the French trade statistics. Therefore, the export trade, which is large, must be treated separately. As may be seen from the table attached to Appendix III the headings in the French official export returns relating to rubber manufactures do not correspond with those of the other principal exporting countries, and details of the exports to different countries are only given for tyres and for the total of rubber manufactures. Even in the case of tyres, one heading includes all kinds of outer covers, inner tubes and solid tyres, and the exports to each country are given by weight only and not by number or value. The United States Department of Commerce, in discussing these French returns, assume that the outer covers for motor cars included in the return French statistics not com- parable with others.
