Note 2 — Chapter LIV · COMMERCE AND THE WORLD WAR, 1914-1918
Reading edition
The figures of the table, quoted from Lloyd’s Register in Report U.S. Department of Commerce, 1920, p. 170, differ slightly from U.S. official figures. It should be noted that the gross tonnage of American vessels employed in foreign trade was very much less: 1.0 million in 1914, 9.9 million in 1920, according to official figures.
