Before the War, Japan was almost entirely dependent on the U. S. and Europe for its electrical equipment. Though still relying on foreign research, the nimble-fingered Japanese now actually export. Manufacturing branches of the Mitsui are tied up with General Electric, the House of Mitsubishi's with Westinghouse. Nearly 11,500,000 Japanese homes are wired, each having an average of about three bulbs. All big cities have electric street cars and large sections of the railways, particularly the suburban lines around Tokyo and on steep mountain gradients, are electrified...
...Traffic on the Great Lakes averages 134,000,000 tons per year of which only 14,000,000 is for export. Canada would ship out 300,000,000 bu. of wheat whereas the U. S. would have less than one-sixth of that for foreign markets...
...Taber, a Dry Ohio Republican. This year it took the Grange ten daysto rehash its familiar problems of money, markets and mortgages. What it will probably wind up by demanding from the Democratic Administration: 1) a means of price-upping other than "stabilization" by the Farm Board; 2) the export debenture; 3) an "honest dollar"-i.e. some form of inflation to help debtors; 4) refinancing of farm mortgages by the Government; 5) a cut in War Debts in return for foreign concessions for U.

...week when the slump in Chicago narrowed the margin of advantage the Winnipeg peg was pulled. In a short time December wheat was selling at 47⅝? in Canadian currency, giving it a 2⅜? advantage over U. S. wheat. How this advantage works is seen in the September export figures. During the month Canada exported 28,607,000 bu., a 69.9% gain from a year ago while the U. S. exported 2,642,000 bu., a 77.5% drop. Competition in the export market will soon be increased when the new crops come in in Australia and the Argentine...
...Commercially the small, oily Kingdom of Irak completely eclipses the large, arid Land of Saud. Irak exports were $27,600,000 for 1930 and imports $15,000,000, as against insignificant exports and imports for Ibn Saud's Kingdom which makes most of its money on pilgrims. Lackadaisical Moslem tribes in Malaysia are becoming markedly more energetic as their pious women constantly return from Holy Mecca and give birth to fighting half-breeds--an "invisible export" of the Land of Saud...
