It is due to the excess value of the goods we buy from that country over that of our exports across the border. In th-e- first six months of this year Canadian goods were exported to the United States to the value ‘of $482,000,000, while during the same period |our', imports from that country had a value of "$980,000,000. We are therefore buying approx- imately twice as much from the United States ,as we are sending back in the shape of exports. i Mcrc concretely stated, the trade balance is now running at the rote of approximately $1,000,-

In contrast with this situation, Canada's ex- ports to the United Kingdom have four times the value of our imports of British goods. In the first half of the present calendar year, Canada's exports to Britain, nearly all in the shape of farm products, were valued at $352,000,000, whereas our imports from the United Kingdom during the some six months had a total value of only $84,000,000.
