To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The United States did not take, in 1914, quite $6, 000, 000 worth of goods, or very little over 2 per cent. War conditions have since made a remarkable change in this situation as will be shown later. As to the imports: We find that in 1914 the total imports in the Dutch Archipelago amounted to about $180, 000, 000, of which the United States furnished about $3, 750, - 000, likewise a little over 2 per cent. And this, not- withstanding that by the extension and development of agriculture in the... East Indies the demand for machinery and steam engines has greatly increased, thereby placing the American exporter in an especially favorable position. Prior to the war the Americans neglected the opportunity to obtain and hold this trade. War con- ditions suddenly changed the whole situation. This was not due by any means to the foresight or energy of the American merchant, but to the activities of the German submarines and the inability of the Netherlands merchant marine to follow its cus- tomary trade routes, first through the Suez Canal and afterwards around the Cape of Good Hope and Durban.
