In this overseas cargo movement we find that in 1993 the United States exported 5,500,000 tous less than in 1921, but we also find that this is largely accounted for by the great exports of coal made necessary in 1921 by the British coat-strike and the fact that in 1992 cost strikes in United States prevented our being able to ship our normal quantity of export coal. In 1091 Americe ships carried only 9 per cent of Sur overseas exports in 1992 they carried 31 per cent, which is a small bat gratifying notease. It should be remen bered that in our overseas commerce, our exports in 1021 were over four times as great as our imports and in 1922 were approximately twice the quantity of our imports.
