The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of exports on the economy, particularly in the perspective of the over-all recovery in the thirties. In assessing the conclusions, the reader should note particularly that many other aspects of Canada's dependence on foreign countries, such as capital movements, have had to be neglected. The first part of this paper gives some statistical measurement of the role of exports, stressing both the great importance of exports to several large industries and the lead in exports at the turning points, but also suggesting that both the over-all level of exports and the proportion of an industry's product which is exported may be misleading indicators of the impact of exports on the economy. Changes in the composition of exports, and the reaction of the more or less domestic factors in the economy can affect the force of the stimulus from expanding exports. In particular, the paper suggests that while a rising or high level of exports may be a necessary condition for prosperity, it need not be a sufficient one.
