Northern and western European eountries now have a volume of external trade equivalent to that which existed in 1913, with the. result that increas ed optimisra ás to the rapid- ity of economic recovery is be- coming widespread. In Southern Europe, foreign trade has only re- covered to a point where its present
volume is about 75 per cent, as large as that of 1913. Intense feel- ing of nationalism, new and un- tried tariff barriers, and lack of es- tablished trade connexions are re- tarding progress in this arca, There are many seemingly small adjustments in trade relationships which eventually must be made. One such problem is that connected with transportation. While the older countries have satisfactory arrangements for the exchange and return of freight cars, no such agreements have been made in some of the newer countries. In some places, there are thousands of for- eign freight cars which have not. been returned because of railroad Inefficiency or national antagonism. Royal Bank of Canada Bulletin.
