Trade picture of war era shifts to Latin America and Europe
The report notes a $4.016 trillion year, with imports at $2.600 billion and US trade earnings near $1.4 billion. It highlights Britain and Canada absorbing over half of US exports in mid war, Latin America seeing strong gains with $559.17 million exports and $439.84 million imports, while Europe supplied 50 to 55 percent of Latin America’s needs. The shift reflects artificial trade barriers in prewar Europe and a push to dollars for Latin America to buy American goods. Germany’s trade position shows notable losses as US exports rise to the region.

The exodus disrupted European arts and brought works by Frang Werfel and Andreji to American readers while American jobs for locals faced competition. The year saw no towering masterpieces but a modest rise in art funding and revived interest in national art during defense buildup.
