Great Producing Nation
It is easy to understand why America plays such a great part in world trade when we look at her share of world production. If we take the chief goods thai matter, we find (taking a 10-year average) that America produces: Half of the world's cotton, Two-fifths of the world's coal, Two-fifths of the world's steel, A third of the world's lead, Two-fifths of the world's copper, A third of the world's zinc, Two-thirds of the world's oil, A fourth of the world's tobacco, Two-thirds of the world's maize, A fifth of the world's wheat. America has thus a giant's power, and it is unfortunate that she does not use it with more wisdom. By steadying her production and consumption America would benefit all the world.
