The extent to which we depend upon other countries for essential] commodities is probably not, generally realized. Many of the important raw Products of the world are Produced in countries of small population and limited consuming ability. The tonnage of the exports from such countries is normally far in excess of the tonnage of their imports. The amount of American goods which may be exported on one ship to a country of this character is usually small. This condition hag necessitated the use of triangular toutes and indirect means through concentration points, such as London and Hamburg, in order to avoid the poor load factor which is involved in direct service to such countries. Thus it happens that she maritime nations have concentrated their efforts upon controlling a large share of the shipping to and from certain markets which they find themselves in a favorable position to develop. In such a develop- ment the free port or some institution affording similar conveniences is indispensable, The focusing at one port of goods for reexport to countries producing raw Materials, permits the establishment of regular vessel service, and inevitably results in drawing to that port the larger portion of the raw materials of such countries. Thus Hamburg hag become an important world market for rice; London ae _ tea, and tin; Liverpool for cotton and grain; and Glasgow 1923_______ 1924___ 925____. 926___
