INTERNATIONAL TRADE 
Canada had a great excess of imports; Great Britain had the equiv- 
alent of an excess of exports — a marked lessening of the usual 
excess of imports. These contrasts, as they appear in the present 
chapter and in that on Canada, are familiar to the reader. We 
have now to observe in what way they were reflected in the barter 
terms of trade. All the elements in the situation might be expected 
to bring it about that the terms became more advantageous to the 
borrowing country — to Canada. 
The appended chart shows the direction and extent of the 
changes in the gross and in the net barter terms for Canada. It 
has been prepared in the same way as the chart for Great Britain 
on p. 253. The year 1900 is the base period, as it was for Great 
CANADA, 1900-1913.
