This was the first year any country had supplanted the United Kingdom .as America's best customer, although purchases by the United Kingdom of American goods last year actually showed an increase of about 1 per cent. over the previous year. . Germany retained third place, although the sales to Germany for the year declined $14,476,000, or 3 per cent.
