GOSSIP OF THE STREET
LONDON BANKER SEES ENGLISH
INVESTMENT BUSINESS FOR U. S.
Prominent Financier, Discus&iug Foreign Trade and
, Balance Problem, Says Private British Concerns Will
Borrow Heavily Here Gossip of the Street
TiUL.RI" Is a good deal of cjulet talk (joint oil, especially fimonp bank
ers In the financial district on the question of forclRii trad and the
settlement of forclcn lialain.es durlnn the net few jears. Tnrounh tho
courtesy of Hewlett A Senley, the ropiesentatlvo of Lee HIpRlnson . Co
In this city, we are enabled to publish a lilghl intirestlni letter on those
nd Kindled subjects addiessctl to I.ee HIprKlnsrm S. Co. by a well-known
f.ondon banker. It Is no breach of confident to say that this banker
enjojs the confidence of T.lojd Georpo and virtually all of the mcmbeis
of tho ptesent HrltUh Cabinet, IncluUInc the Cnaroeiior of the i:chequei
'i'he letter follows:
, "t hae jour lettei of Xoicinber 10 ahhint: for my opinion on various
n.tttera. I answered our question as to the policy of evchanclnR United
Kingdom J'i per cent bonds by tabling you that v e strongly recommended
tho euhange Instead of nklng pajment. It Is Inconceivable that the
British ta c frca 5'3 per cent tWentj-car bonds should not be an excellent
Imestment, and my opinion Is that they will Mand ut u substantial pre
mium. Theie is talk here about England's tijlng to pay off her debts In
America ab soon as possible uud before pajlng any of her other debts.
If anything of this eoit camo.to puss those twenty ear bonds would be
In Brcat demand.
"I see In the Times tod i that an American banker bus made a speech
pointing out tho true llnancl.il lelUtonshlp between America and Kngland,
mid It Is only too eUdent that the trend ot the iincstment business must
be from England to America. Amoriui will hae to lend to England, and
tho sentimental wlh uf Uiltlsh imestors to buy American securities
cannot be gratified until the balame between tlio ito rnuntnos Is some
what restored.
I'rlvatp English Concerns to Borrow Here
"following tho lines of the American b-inktr'w unn.ii Us, time Is little
doubt but that the private concerns, of England will be Uugc borlOAcrs
In the United States before cry Ion?. There Is a large hupply of inone
In InC3tors' hands In llngland now, but the demands of her Industries
and lallroads are going to be large, and I think wo maj count on beelns
this supply of money absorbed during the next ear or so. After that tho
demand for capital still will continue, and there will bo only one countrj
where It can be obtained, namely, tho United States. At piesent all
JJrltisli debentures and shaics of Ililtlsh companies held bj forclgneis are
liable to pay the Btltlsh tax of fl per cent in the pound on Interest and
dividends. This tnv Is deducted nt tho touico and is not ieeoerable.
Before England can borrow in tho United SJntaes the laws In this tespect
will have to be changed.
'Iler one who has ghen scions thought to the question of our
foreign tidde and the i-ettlement of oui foreign balances In the next few
jears airies nt the same conclusion, namely, that AmerU i must lines;
Its monej freelj in foielgn countries for ome time to tome. Thtie Is
sure to be a great denl of attrarthe business of this kind ofieied In this
lountrj. Jt Is none too carl to start a campaign of education anion,
Americans to get them In th frame of mind o becoming fumlllar with
the idea of lneftlngr theli money abroad."
Discuss Five- Ycar-Ruil-Control Plan
The announcement from Washington eateidu of the approval bj
Commissioner Woolley of foimer DIrectoi Genetal of Ilallroads McAdoo's
He-jear plan of Government opeintlon of the roads, following the un
qualified indorsement of the same pioposltlon by Mr. lleAdoo's successoi
Walkei I) nines was leeched in the financial dls'rlct In a variety of
was, but mostly with dlsippiowil
One b.inkei bald the whole rallioad hltuatlou, In ills opinion, depended
on which Is most llkeh to be the correct law, name!, that held b tho
lallroad executlvct as lepresented b T DeWitt Culer, who nro or should
bo expei ts on the uibject, or that held by unybodj and eerbodj,
lrom United States Kenitois to the man In the Street, who has not the
facts tn incU np his opinions or tho nrcossar experience on which to
base conclusions.
One of the best-knov n investment bankers said he favoied nelthet a
llve-jeai Goveininent control nor n twoear or anj otner i-el time, but
believed the lailioads should be returned at onco the 'moment that proper
legislation was omcted which would enable tho roads to be operated foi
the best interests of the public
"We have seen what Government operation is getting us by pnlng
up an evei-ini leasing deficit," ho remarked "Who, then, wants to keep
on adding to that deficit for five oi evon two ears moio when theie is a
leiiMinable waj out of It',' If the piesent costly Government operation is
i ontlnucd, the man on tho Street will soon wako up to the fact when ho
see, through the depict latlon of rallioad bonds, the savings bank where
he keeps his savings, a nil which has most of its investments In railroad
bonds has 'gone up,' or It he heais the life Insuiancc company In which
he carries his policy has to suspend on account of tho depreciation of
railroad securities which It was causing In Hige amounts"
.
Not so peisinnstlc was another bankei and broker whose opinion was
asked, lie took the view that there was something to bo said In favoi
of the five- ear tiial plan.
"Tlver ono knows," he said, 'that eail legislation to effect the
leturn of the loads to the seturll owners Is out of the question at
present. Judging fiom the waj matters are being handled at Washington
That being tho case, no ono wants the roads returned till the proper
legislation regarding ratea, etc, is enacted. Xaturull, therefore, the
Goveinment must continue operating them as nt piesent. To do so It
will be necessar for the Goveinment to spend very large sums to
pluta the roads in proper condition und also to buy tho necessar equip
ment. To get the pioper leturn for such large expenditures as will be
lequlred, an thing lets than a five ear test would be unfali "
More Discussions on Substitute Loan
While many bankers and brokers In this city ale heal til in favor of
the Government selling the bccmttles of the Allies held b this counti
for loans advanced during the war, instead of putting out another Issue
ot Libert Bonds, the aie not particularly sanguine about the idea being
adopted In Washington. A suggestion made by a banker today in this
lounectlon and which is Intended to overcome a depreciation in I.lbeit
Bonds now outstanding throUh thoiAUIcd bonds canylng a higher inte of
Interest is to issue an international bond against tho Allied Indebtedness
which would can a rate of Inteiest that would not Interfeie with tho
Libert Issues. Ibis banker also said he was In favor of disposing of these
Ponds tluougli the bankers and biokers of the counti, and ho Indorsed
tho Idea as the onl sane substitute for a fifth Liberty issue, which, he
said would be exceedingly difficult to sell. If theso lntet national bonds,
he fcald, were placed with the bankers and brokers of the country on a
small commission theio would be no need for undue haste or pressure In
selling them.
