exports  fell,  and  in  the  same  years  the
United  States’  exports  rose.  In  three  years
the  process  was  reversed.  In  the  other  five
years  the  United  Kingdom’s  exports  fell  or
rose  more  or  less  disproportionately  to  the
simnltaneons  rise  or  fall  in  the  exports  of  the
United  States.  When  our  trade  has  fallen,  the
trade  of  the  United  States  has  risen,  and  vice
versa.  And  the  predominant  rises  are  further
evidence,  if  any  he  needed,  of  the  advancing
trade  of  the  world.
The  next  thing  to  look  at  is  the  share
of  the  United  Kingdom  and  the  share
of  the  United  States  in  the  exports  of  the
world.
