The interesting puzzle in our comm reial relations with foreign
countries is how they manage to sgnare their debts with tl
States. We were the creditor nation of
tend of over 660,000,000, ineladin
yet the balance of g ld we received in excess o
only £12.400,000. How has the balance of 660,000,000 been ad pasted?
Quite recently Mr. N, T. Bacon, in the “Yale Review.” undertook to
investigate this subject in giving the results of researches he had made,
He estimated that the net foreign indebtenesds of the United States last
year amounted to 82,530,000,000
have to pay net annual interest amounting to $00,000,000; that $50.
000,000 is spent each year by American travelers, and that 10,000,000
is taken over there every year by those who expatriate themselves, He
allows $50,000,000 more to vover all contingencies, and concludes that
our annual remittance across the water are 2200000000. This leaves
a big balance to be explained. It would reduce the apparent foreign
debt 10 the Uuited States on last year's commerce to over £400,000,000,
