FOREWORD
1. Purpose and Scope
The Handbook o f Economic Statistics, 1975, pro-
vides statistics for selected non-Communist coun-
tries and all the Communist countries.
In general, the data in the Handbook are for
1965-74. Summary tables are presented for the
United States, West Germany, Japan, the European
Community, the USSR, Eastern Europe, and the
People's Republic of China. Data for the Communist
and non-Communist countries have been adjusted,
when necessary, to achieve comparability and there-
fore may differ from data presented in the original
sources. Footnotes have been used liberally to give
definitions, exceptions, and methodology. Footnotes
to the commodity tables give more detailed defini-
tions of the data than those appearing for the com-
modities on the summary tables.
2. Rounding of the Totals
The totals have been rounded, with some ex-
ceptions, to three significant digits. In general,
zeros appearing after the last nonzero number
following the decimal point ,are not significant
but are used merely for consistency in presenta-
tion, and, because of rounding, components may
not add to the totals shown. Totals are not pre-
sented if missing data are believed to represent a _
significant part of the total.
3. Symbols -
The abbreviation N.A. (not available) is used
when information about the existence of the data
or the magnitude of the data is not available, and
the abbreviation Negl. (negligible) is used when
the magnitude of the data is less than half of the
final unit employed for each table. The metric
system is used throughout.
4. Sources
The data given for the most recent years are
frequently preliminary and subject to revision. The
data for the Communist countries are estimates of
this Office, official data from the country cited, or
estimates made by other organizations. The data
for the non-Communist countries are from publica-
tions of the United Nations and the Organiza-
tion for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD ), publications of US government agencies,
or unclassified publications of other international or-
ganizations or individual countries, or are estimates
of this Office.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term Communist
Countries includes the USSR, the countries of
Eastern Europe, China, North Korea, North Viet-
nam, Albania, Cuba, and Yugoslavia; the term
Eastern Europe includes Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The
term European Community includes Belgium, Den-
mark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the

many. The term developed countries includes the
European Community, Austria, Finland, Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Aus-
tralia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa,
and the United States. The term Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development includes
Greece; Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and all the de-
veloped countries, except Liechtenstein and South
Africa. The term less developed countries includes
the following non-Communist countries: (1) all
countries of Africa except the Republic of South
Africa, (2) all countries of East Asia except Japan,
(3) Malta, Portugal, and Spain in Europe, (4) all
countries in Latin America, and (5) all countries
in the Middle East and South Asia.

pending on the commodity or services listed.
