Trade Ilalance Show? $?,000,000,000 in Favor of United States. Washington. Juno 30.-Tho gov ern mont has closed its books for tho liscal year just ending - tho first full fiscal year in the war. In government financial history, the year will KO down as a period of expense hardly dreamed of a decade ago. More than $ I 2,000,000,000 is the actual outlay slue?; July I, 10 17, to meet the multitude of big hills run up for ibo army, tho navy, tho shipbuilding program, airplane con struction, coast defense ^require ments, other government activities. 1 and the needs of the allies for Amer lean loans to finance purchases of war J materials in this country, in peace i times the government spent less than ' $ 1,000,000,000 annually. - Trade Balance of $:t,000,000,000. The United States closes Its Hist fiscal your as a participant in the great war with a trade balance of ap proximately $3,0 00,0 0 0,000. Exports for the fiscal year will to tal $0,000,000,000, as compared with $6,290,048,.394 In the twelve months ended Juno 30, 19 17. Imports in creased from $2,659,355,186 last year to about $3.000,000,000 this year. Such a showing is regarded as very gratifying by government experts, and no uneasiness is felt because thc trade balance declined $030,093,209 as compared with 1917. Steps arc being taken, however, to retrieve the loss as far as possible in the coining year, hy a fuller utilization of avail able tonnage lu foreign trade, espe cially small boats not needed for trans-Atlantic service, which can be used to carry surplus manufactures to Latin American countries and re duce thc shipments of gold made necessary by the United States be coming a debtor nation of the other pan-A inorican republics. Tho increasing flow of gold to South America was one of the most striking features of world trade in the last twelve months. Products of the Latin American countries-grain, meat, rubber. hardwood, nitrates, tin, platinum-have been bought in large quantities by the allies, which have had less and less goods to ship in return as the war progressed. The result has been that the Latin Amer ican countries have been paid in gold, which they hardly have been able to spend. Imports ol' South American goods hy the United States alone in tin: lasl twelve months have totaled nearly $600,000,000, while exports to the same continent have been only about half as much, Europe and Xorth America. including Canada, through which is shipped much of the exports going to Great 'Britain, continue to look to this country ns their great source of supply. European Neutrals Buttoned. The European neutrals were strict ly rationed hy the United States dur ing tlie fiscal year, exports to Den mark, .Norway, Sweden, Thc Nether lands and Spain being cut in some in stalles as much as 90 percent.
