Foreign Loans Are on Unweicome List; Many Factors Are Involved: May Work Out to Advantage. " BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Tlibm Special Financial Writer

J. Henry Schroder <fe Cos. would seem to have been using good logic when it suggested in its current review' of international business conditions that foreign lending is likely to be “out" for a long time. It can be said with reasonable certainty that it will be some years before investors in the United States are again in the mood to lend money abroad. And the reason for this is not entirely the many “sour" issues which were floated in this country a few years ago. The credit of many countries has been adversely affected of late because of their inability or unwillingness to repay their loans. The misappropriation of borrowed funds and

the juggling of currencies also have played an important part in breaking down the confidence of investors. But it apparently is impossible to correct some of these situations. If a nation refuses to pay its debt there seems to be little that can be done about it. The investor has no recourse. In the past nations have been rather jealous of their credit standings, but even the most reputable of them have been inclined to cut corners in recent years. nun Nations Have Troubles at Home And then, again, nations have their own troubles at home, w'hich overshadow factors relating to the outside. And the people of most countries appear to be demanding more from their governments. England, for instance, had its labor problem which was an important consideration, no doubt, in its going off the gold standard. The United States has its huge internal private debt situation with which to contend. Had the United States been able to collect on its

foreign obligations its private debt problems probably would not have loomed nearly so large. And if foreign money had not sw'ept into this country in “the good old days” the inflation of security prices might not have been carried to such an extent, and some of the debts created probably would not have been assumed. And if we had not loaned so much money to other countries our false prosperity arising from the tie-up of trade to loans might never have existed. tt u nun Nationalist Movement Grows But these complications have arisen, and the United States, though a creditor nation, finds itself involved. And while it was content to play Santa Claus for a time, the new administration has seen fit to pay more attention to the starving Americans than to the starving Armenians. In other words, this country has joined the nationalistic movement. To alleviate the domestic debt situation it has bid up the price of gold in the world markets. It also has placed huge amounts of government funds at the disposal of corporations and municipalities. The credit rating of the country has suffered as a result, the same as that of other nations. It is neighborly, of course, to loan money to other countries, but experience has shown that such loans do not always bring the desired results. Consequently, it may be just as well if the theory of rugged individualism is applied to nations for a time in so far as loans are concerned.

WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—A rise of ; 5 cents an ounce in the price of gold, the first change in tw r o weeks, brought a firmer tone into the stock market today and also was an aid in forcing cotton futures 4 to 5 points above the previous close. Initial prices were up fractions to more than a point in most instances. Tobaccos, however, were an exception with Liggett & Myers off 4 1 4 points at 81%,. Leaders Are Strong Most of the leaders made gains. Steel common at 46 was up *4; American Telephone 1117 8 , up %; Allied Chemical 145, up %; American Commercial Alcohol 51%, up %; International Nickel 21%, up%; Case 691 b, up li ; New York Cen-! tral 34%, up %; U. S. Smelting 92*4,! up I*4; Western Union 54%, up %; and American Can 94%, up %. Steel shares were higher with U. S. Steel. The weekly Magazine Steel found steel market activity quickened last week “by a strong combination of the second largest weekly awards in 1933 for structural material, negotiations for upward of 13,000 freight cars with other railroad programs maturing, a further flurry in scrap prices and the expiration Jan. 1 of all contracts carrying prices lower than those announced in the first quarter.” That authority placed the rate of steel production for the nation at 33 per cent of capacity, up 4 points from last week. Trading was light in the early dealings with prices around the opening levels. Automobile issues rnet moderate demand. Gold shares firmed up as the RFC price rose to $34.06 per fine ounce. Wet Issues Firm Rails were mixed in a narrow range. Oils held steady. Coppers were slightly higher. Farm equipments made small gains. Wet issues ruled firm. Mercantile shares eased off with Montgomery Ward, and Sears Roebuck, down fractionally. Utilities were steady. Communications behaved better than Saturday although there was no activity in the group. Atlas Tack which broke 11% points Saturday was not traded in the early dealings. The tape carried its market at 14 bid, 20 offered, against a previous close of 21%.

Life Insurance Companies Pay Out Three Billions

Largest Sum in History Is Paid Policyholders During 1933. By Times Special NEW YORK. Dec. 18.—Three billion dollars have been paid out by life insurance companies during 1933 to living policy holders and to beneficiaries, according to William A. Law, president of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. This does not include millions of dollars advanced as loans on policies. Basing his statement on statistics compiled by the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, Mr. Law pointed out that the life companies will have paid $2,175,000,000 in matured endowments, annuities, surrender values, dividends and interest to firing policy holders, the largest amount of any year in their history. This sum compares with $2,156,000,000 in 1932 and is nearly twice as much as was paid policy holders in 1929. Payments to widows, orphans and other beneficiaries of policy holders will amount by the end of the year to $925,000,000. “In making this immense distri-

Santa Early Jersey Troops Find Boy’s Dog—He’s Happy.

By United Press JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 18.— It was just like Christmas today for Adolph Gioia, 11, and his dog, Rex, who had been parted for a week. Adolph's plea to Governor A. Harry More to find his dog and the executive’s order for a statewide police search resulted ir the reunion. Rex was found in Dunellen, N. J., yesterday. State troopers after making doubly sure a hungry looking half chow, half police dog, was Rex took him to a precinct station. They sent a squad car to the Gioia home. Adolph came with his mother, his brother and his sister. He rushed into the station. “That’s him! Here Rex!” Adolph shouted. Rex, straining at his leash, barked loudly. Adolph ran to his pet, dropped on his knees and took Rex in his arms. Then he cried. Rex wagged his tail furiously and licked his master’s hands. Later after Adolph’s excitement subsided, he wrote a note to the Governor. "The Governor.” he said, “has just got my dox Rex and I thank you all who helped find him. It is the best Christmas present I could ever get. I’ll never forget what you did for me. Thanks again.” The Isle of Man has been taken in turn by the Irish, the Norse Vikings* the Danes, the Scots, and the English. \

bution o' money,” Mr. Law said, “the fife insurance companies placed in the mail checks for an average of about $10,000,000 a day throughout the year. If we were to include loans to policyholders, the daily average of payments would still be larger. “Two things enabled the institution of fife insurance to make these unprecedented payments and at the same time increase their assets by more than a third of a billion dollars. “One of them is sound management. In the interest of safety, the companies intentionally underestimate their earnings and overestimate the amounts they will be called upon to pay in death benefits. That leaves a margin of safey to meet unusual demands such as those of this year. “The other is the very nature of fife insurance. The constant flow of premiums as well as receipts frpm investments is sufficient to permit these gigantic payments without forcing the sale of securities. Not only that, but even in 1933, the companies were able to add a third of a billion dollars to their assets which now total more than $21,000,000,000.
