But the Government's contribution to these expenditures has steadily risen until in 1942 it stood at $420 million, or better than 60% of the total. Moreover at the end of 1942 the Government was committed to spend another $648 million, which will bring its total contribution to steel up to over $1 billion...
...according to figures released by the Department of Commerce, the U.S. exported some $7.8 billions of goods while importing only $2.7 billions. The exports, representing around 70% Lend-Lease shipments of food and munitions, were bigger than in 1917 (see chart) but somewhat smaller than in 1919 and 1920, when the U.S. exported a record $7.9 and $8.2 billions...

Under this chart of the future, the United States will control twenty percent of the world's military power, with fifteen percent each going to the whole British Empire and Soviet Russia.
