43. Nearly 80 per cent. of the rubber and balata belting entering 
nternational trade is exported by the four countries, the United 
Kingdom, Canada, the United States and Germany, of which the 
United States is the chief exporter and the United Kingdom the 
second. However, as the following table shows, the exports from 
the United Kingdom of this form of belting for which the demand 
is steadily increasing, did not, up to 1927, expand as rapidly as 
those from anv of the chief competing countries.
