What Europe Does for a Living 281 The parts that engage in commerce. The following figures show the total foreign commerce per capita of countries of Europe in 1927 : ForeicN ComMeERCE PER Carita (1927) Austria . . Belgium . Bulgaria . . {Czechoslovakia Denmark . Finland . France . Germany Greece . Hungary [taly . Latvia $105 188 17 78 249 90 04 no Netherlands . . . . Norway . Poland . Jortugal Rumania Russia. . Spain... Sweden . . Switzerland . United Kingdom Yugoslavia . $234 155 21 25 24 5 33 141 205 219 18 11. Insert these figures on an outline map of Europe. Shade heavily the coun- tries where the foreign commerce amounts to more than $50 per capita, and lightly those where it amounts to from $30 to $50. Why do Den- mark, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom rank so high? How does this map compare with the map of manufacturing (Fig. 162) and with that showing density of population (Fig. 176)? Do you see in it any resemblance to your own maps showing where food, raw materials. and minerals are produced most abundantly? Rearrange the list of countries given above, placing them in the order of the amounts. Which countries stand highest, those that produce food. raw materials. or manufactured goods? Europe’s transportation facilities. In some parts of Europe a highly complex system of transportation has developed. Natural waterways are utilized, canals and railroads have been built. and fine roads have been constructed. 14. Compare the maps showing density of population (Fig. 176), energy of peoples (Fig. 158), and percentage of population engaged in manufacturing Fig. 162). What part of Europe is most heavily shaded on the three maps? Now look at the map showing the main shipping routes of the world (Fig. 117). In what part of Europe would you expect to find the closest railway network? Why? 15. Select the areas where transportation (a) by land, (b) by water, is best developed. How are these two areas related to each other? to the areas of most intense primary production and manufacturing? Explain what you find.
