The world totals for 1936 were (exports) $21,131,893.000; imports $22.073,270,000-1937 (exports) $25,984,389,000; (imports) $27,508,201,000. The 1938 export figures are partly estimated by the League statisticians. The war in Europe has dislocated trade and commerce to such an extent that statistics for 1939 are scarce, and revised figures for 1938 are not available. Countries named in the 1939 table are only ones in which the League of Nations has data, owing to present war conditions. The conflict in Europe has dislocated trade to a greater extent than at any period since the World War. Year Revised Index of U. S.
