EUROPEAN  POSSESSIONS  207
In  1913  the  exports  were  as  follows:

Trinidad  and  Tobago  $26,000,000
Jamaica  and  her  outlying  islands.  .  11,000,000
Barbados  5,000,000

$49,000,000
Trinidad,  (with  Tobago,  twenty  miles  distant), ­
  1734  square  miles  in  area,  is  perhaps  the
most  important.  Of  the  $26,000,000  it  should
be  noted  that  $11,000,000  was  for  coal,  transshipped ­
  and  not  produced  in  the  country,
thereby  reducing  her  actual  productive  power
in  money  to  $15,000,000.  Her  chief  exports
were  as  follows:
Cocoa  $7,000,000
Sugar  2,000,000
Asphalt  1,300,000
Petroleum  400,000
Cocoanuts  500,000
in  addition  to  copra,  rum  and  molasses.  Of
these  exports  the  United  States  took  $7,000,-000,
  France  $2,500,000,  England  $2,400,000,
Canada  $875,000,  and  Germany  $675,000.
