WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Increased
freight traffic with Germany, South
America, the Orient, West Indies and
North America, accounted in large
measure for the reeord breaking for¬
eign trade of the United States in
1920.
A compliation of American exports
and imports last year by countries
issued Wednesday by the department
of commerce, shows that exports to
Great Britain, France and Italy fell
off sharply. Those cOuntries, however,

ted States as all the
other important nations. '
American trade with four princi¬
pal South American countries—Bra¬
zil, Argentina, Chile and Urguay-f
totalled approximately $1,044,000,000
as compared with $917,000,000 in' 19-
19. American exports to those coun¬
tries increased more than $100,000,
000 during 1920, totaling $457,000,000
whereas imports from those countries
increased only about $25,000,000, the
total being $587,000,000.
Trade with Germany during the
year nearly quadrupled, aggregating
$400,000,000, but fell far short of that
before tlje war. Exports to Germany
reached $311,000,000 against $89,000,
000 the year before and imports from
that country totaled $92,000,000 as
compared with $10,000,000 the year
before.
