Note 157 — Chapter VII · Remedies
Reading edition
The figures for the United Kingdom are as follows:
Monthly Average Net Imports $1,000 Exports $1,000 Excess of Imports $1,000
1913 274,650 218,850 55,800
1914 250,485 179,465 71,020
Jan.-Mar. 1919 547,890 245,610 302,280
April-June 1919 557,015 312,315 244,700
July-Sept. 1919 679,635 344,315 335,320
But this excess is by no means so serious as it looks; for with the present high freight earnings of the mercantile marine the various "invisible" exports of the United Kingdom are probably even higher than they were before the war, and may average at least $225,000,000 monthly.
