Foreign Security Fussle
By HELEN ESSARY
Central Prut Columnist
0 WASHINGTON If I km v ornethlng about finance I’d be able to answer orn of the letters Hint 'i-me to me this morning. The
letter, from an anonymous Edith H ' Is atxiut foreign brmds.
"I cannot un'i* i > ml the- forugn bond situation,'’ write* Edith 8. "Espei tally tin .Sonih ArnerP ;in foreign bond situation. My uncle
left me some boneu wiiioh he hoped would be valuable.
"X went to rny bank ycst«rday to clip the coupons on the bonds
and turn thorn in for United States War Bonds. I found half the foreign bonds were no good. I've tall.' the matter over with several brokers and otia i i |.r it and I aimply can't make head or tail
of the thing.
"It my uncle bought foreign bonds aecured by, we'll ssy the Republic of Bolivia, v. by are thoae bonds no good today. Where did my un> l< a money go? "The governin'id of Bolivia pledged itself for those bonds. What do I rare If, a one broker told me, a certain Bolivian president got excited, used th' moi < y of United States investors to build roads so hia son could dn .' big cats theieon and then was thrown out of office by a revolutlonlxt. . “What difference does that make to me? X do want to know, however, why we keep on with Lend-Lease for such Irresponsible
people,
“Brasilian Ik,ride and I've got several of those things—are very wobbly, too. Why? I thought Brazil was a rich country with untouched wealth all ovi i ita hill., ainl valleys. And plenty of LendLease for oiliiig the machinery. Then why should my Twenty-one Year Exten d Eul'l Honda of Kill be repudiated. Or have they been repudiated? What goes on anyhow? “Brasil, so a Departn;, nt of Commerce bond expert told me, Is offering two plai,a to holders of Its 1651 20-year gold bonds. In one plan I exchange h"i"l ii'.ured by the government of Brazil aa worth $1,000 for a bo i which the government of Brazil now says
1* worth at II.- la I only $750.
"Also, instead of iimg th< $25 interest my uncle was promised twice a y< ar, tin in bond will give me $.’; 26 twice a year. "And we are ..npf ■ i to taka this sort of thing calmly and say, Isn't It too had! I'ooi Biuzll Is having trouble with Its finances!' “What kltid of a ho-us poms Is this? I tell you I'm pretty mad. I’ve got to pay a terrific Income lax In a few days. Ho does everytiody else. Then by Wouldn't we get a little tough with countries who go back on their Inventors Instead of handing them over some of the money you .nd I pay Into the Internal revenue office "I've no doubt 1 1 it you'll think I'm pretty silly tp write as I do.

“Maybe my undo a a little greedy. Certainly, United States Investors were in ; n d to buy foreign Isinds because of the faulty wording of the Aldrich ' ilnss Income lax lavtf of 1613 which said that government bumla hould Ik- tax exempt. What was Intended to be said or wn It wn i (hat 'holders of United State* govern-
ment bonds should be exempt.*
"Anyhow the halt worked. My uncle and hundreds of other people swallowed It, hook, line and certainly *lnker. And then what happened: In some of the foreign countries the party In power that had plaeed the lorn, wan thrown out. The new crowd said, 'What
our predecessors did Is no fault of ours.’
*T couldn't Is more confused about everything. Ration points and the value of money and ac-curtties do make my head swim. There’s one simple sentence on a bond that I can’t get. It's that one
that says something almut 'a sinking fund.’ Good money phrase, ‘sinking fund.’ Hus It anything to do
with 'social aecurily’ ?
“You remember how pleased we used to be about •ocial security. What hecama of that money that Used to lie taken off your pay check for the social
