of the exports of the three Dominions to the United 

 Kingdom and to the other countries of the world. 



Table No. XVI 



Table showing for igog-13 the amount of the exports 

 of Canada, Australia and New Zealand to the United 

 Kingdom and the amount which went elsewhere but 

 might be diverted to the United Kingdom (in millions of 

 pounds sterling) . 



This table exhibits by how much the trade of the 

 three Dominions with the United Kingdom could be 

 increased by diverting hither some of their present 

 exports to other countries, and it appears that the 

 amount which could by this means be added to the 

 exports of these Dominions to the United Kingdom is 

 thirty-six million pounds. 



A detailed examination of the exports of the three 

 Dominions discloses the fact that not all of them are 

 fitted to swell the trade with the United Kingdom. Of 

 the thirty million pounds' worth of exports which Canada 

 sends to countries other than the United Kingdom 

 eleven million pounds' worth consists of commodities 

 which the United Kingdom could not take, having 

 already as much of them as she requires. Silver, gold, 

 coal, manufactures and fish account for most of this 

 eleven million pounds' worth.
