Foreign Countries and World Markets 307 Brown Brothers Fig. 183. In the modern city, the market place has become a whole district of streets with large shops. like this street in Chicago. where goods from all over the world are sold. the Philippines and the United States. Then American trade increased rapidly. It was further favored by the opening of the Panama Canal n 1918. In 1928 about three fifths of the $125,000,000 worth of im- ports came from the United States and Hawaii. The best way for our country to increase trade not only in the Phil- ippines but everywhere else is to play fair, make the best kind of goods at the lowest reasonable prices, be content with moderate profits, and remember that even the most backward people will buy more if treated with honesty and respect. QUESTIONS, EXERCISES, AND PROBLEMS A. Trade of the United States with its neighbors. l. The United States supplies two thirds of the Canadian imports, whereas only one eighth of Australia’s imports are from the United States. How do you explain this difference ? Compare Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Cuba as markets for American goods. Consider these points: (a) the number of people; (b) their stage of progress; (c) their governmental relations; (d) the products they can offer in exchange ; (e) their position. Compare these three with Alaska. Why should Alaska rather than any of the others be called * a market of the future” ? Give examples of commodities that each one of these regions needs and can purchase from the United States.
