Table 45 shows the principal sources of our imports of crude naphthalene
in recent years. Germany was the principal source until 1936; the United
Kingdom, previously the next most important source, was first in 1936 and
1937. In the last three years appreciable quantities have been received
from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union, hitherto unimportant
sources.
