GOSSIP OF THE STREET
AMERICAN BUYING OF FOREIGN
SECTIRTTTES WOULD ATD TRADE
-
'jankers iielieve Flan to Popularize Purchasing in the
United States Would Largely Offset Overbalance
of Credit Gossip of the Street ,
TXTKN'TIO.N has been made In this column ftom time to time In lnter
" views with financiers of the ultimate necessity. In order to stimulate
foreign trade with the United States, of creating a market ln this country
for the securities of foreign countries.
It has been pointed out that the stupendous credit balances which
ate constantly piling up In this nation's favor ate In the very nature of
things tho greatest obstacle to a healthful Intu change of commerce,
and tho tocent declines ln the quotations for Mngllsh sterling, French
francs and Italian lire are but the outward Indications of the -present
ovcrsttalnrd conditions. In the United States's commerce with foreign
countries It must take In exchange for goods either gold, of which this
country has ulrendy too much; 'other merchandise, of which those nation-
have not enough for their fmmedlatu needs, to &ay nothing of a surplus,
or ariangcments must be made for American banks to give long credits.
These latter It may be necessarv, to extend so long that this country's
oun homo Industries may he in whole or part deprived of the credit
necessary for their successful operation.
There Is another alternative, and that Is for the people of the United
States to purchase securities of foreign countries with which they wish
to tiade. By purchasing these securities the United SMtes would supply
them with tho cash by which they will be enabled to purchase American
goods or to establish credits for tho same purpose.
Securities of the United States haVe always been purchased on a
large scalo In foreign countries, particularly ln Uuropc, and moro es
pecially In Groat Britain, before tho war; but the stress of raising mone.v
for war purposes resulted In the resale In the United States of vlrtuntlv
all these holdings. Therefore they may now be said to be owned outright
bj American Investors.
.. . t , . n
'"' Companies Largest Buy
W'"j Po" t a few life In:
ness In foreign countries and arc compelled by the laws of those coun
tries to Invest n ecrtiln proportion of premiums collected ln the securities
of those countries, there have bcen comparatively smalUpurchases of
foreign securities In this country, and for that reason an move ln the
United States to market foreign securities would necessitate a campaign
of education, something which individual firm- would naturally shrink
from on account of the expense and the rather ephomcral hope of reward
ln their generation. The only opportunity for such u movement meeting,
with success lies In a concerted movement Jij tho banking houses mill
financial lnstjttitlons of the United States, backed by the approval of tho
government, through the Federal Iteserve s.vstem or some other con
stituted authoritative body.
It Is therefore encouraging in note that the Council of Futelgn Itela
tlons has culled a mcetlmj for Apr 1 2, tobo held In the Metropolitan
Liub In New York city, of lending bankers of New York city, Philadel
phia, Chicago, Hoslon, St. I.ouis and Detroit, for tho purpose of making
definite arrangements to.nsafmilnte In this country vast amounts of for
eign securities, which aic the on; commodities tho Allies and neutrnls
can sell In the near future.
It Is said that sixty leading bankers of the Unltid States have ar
ranged to attend this meeting, and that arrangements for tho same have
beon going on for months.
Educational Sale Caiiipuign Planned
One of the. Important Issues of
a committee to co-ordlnatc promotion and educational campaigns to be
launched for the sale of foreign securities, oni also tho classifying ot
such securities and pro-ratlug of allotments by countries from' which
they como and Industries which they represent.
One of tho members of the Council of Foreign Iteliitlons In speaking
of tho matter Is leportetl to have snld:
"All authorities aro agreed that tho new financing of foreign coun
tiles must bo done here. All of the Allies owe us so much that they
cannot buy goods from us except with liberality of credits. Thero Is only
one thing that they can sell to us at once In adequate amounts, and that
is securities. The problem is, How tan wc buy those securities?
"Among the aspects of the foreign seen; Ity problem to be considered
are: its economic necessity, Imperative need, patriotic call and oppor
tunity for profit. It is general!) agreed that some declaration of a policy
of protection must be given by the State Department and a (lived, per
manent policy is a neicssltj'."
It is said that the council will not deal with fotelgn government
Issues (leaving those to this government), but with municipal, public
servlco and Industrial securities onlj.
Investment Bankers Interested in Move
A well-known investment banker wlien c.lscusslng tho above subject
, said that tho American Investment Hankers' Association had alreudy
taken steps In the same direction b appointing u committee for tho
purpose.
"Tho question naturally arises," lie lemarked, "as to the best means
lo conduct the sale of foreign securities when they are available. Who
Is to pass upon the reliability of them? Who Is to say whether an elec
ttlc power plant in some Frcnclt city or the municipal bonds of a Belgian
municipality aro all they claim and are all right from a legal standpoint?"
It would be absurd, ho said, to expect investment bunking houses to
employ experts ln the engineering line or lawyers versed In the laws of
these countries to pass upon each lssife. The proper plan would be
through the formation of a large corporation somewhere ln Europe, or
of a separate corporation in each country, from which securities would
be purchased. This company or these companies to take over such for
eign securities as It would consider reliable, and then, UBlng. them as
collateral, IsstSlng its own uniform collateral bonds against them, thus
in a measure guaranteeing these bonds, which In turn would bo offered
for salo In the United States.
This banker said that the condition which faces the United States
to piomote nnd encourage foreign commerce under present conditions
Is no theory, but a serious condition. Tho country's whole financial posi
tion, he said, is completely reversed. This is a creditor nation, it has
the money and, like a person who has suddenly acquired wealth, it is
receiving pnnumbered invitations to Invest. Therefore It must have a
responsible body or corporation that will do its investigating for It. For
that reason, he said, such a corporation as has been mentioned Is an
absolute necessity under the circumstances. And it should be mode up
largely of bankers In the United States who have been engaged in mat
ters International.
