Aequence of the War, has found herself with a credit of £1,880 mil- lion. Add to this Allied War debts to the amount of £2,300 million, and we find her pre-War indebtedness transformed to a credit balance of no less than £4,000 million, a turn- over of £4,500 million. (These figures are necessarily, calculated, with a considerable margin of error, but are approximately accurate)..

One item in the conversion of America from a debtor to a creditor nation should be taken inte special consideration, namely, the sale of American securities by Great Britain during the War. The British Government sold over £200 million, and the US. Department of Commerce has estimated that Bri- tish citizens Individually sold a further £300 million.
