COLLECTING
TOURIST LOANS
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued From Editorial Page.]
-s, SI,OOO Intended for someone else,
4Hlde no effort to trace its source but
spent It freely. When the mistake
■was discovered It took some months
to locate him in this country but he
has been brought to account and is
now repaying the money in monthly
instalments.
Considerable Loss Experienced
Considerable loss has been experi- |
enced in the immediate exchange of i
American and German money. Un
til the time of the war a German
mark was valued at 24 cents of Amer
ican money. To facilitate exchange,
the relief agents gave it the value of
a quarter of a dollar, so that the

.us music student in Berlin re
vived but 4,000 marks instead of
4,150 which ordinarily wolud have
been the equivalent for the SI,OOO. In
later transactions, the mark mate
rially decreased in value and is still
depreciating so that now it is only
worth about 19 cents.
The handling of funds for private
individuals, which continued from Au
gust of last year until May 6, 1915,
added heavily to the work of the
Treasury, yet these funds represented
a_ much smaller sum than that which
Uncle Sam took out of his own
pocket to lend to those brought to un-
I expected need.
Each of these direct loans was made ;
; upon a promissory note signed by the
| borrower but with no other guaran
tee than his own personal honor.
Many of these notes have been met
promptly. Others are being paid in
instalments suited to the means of
the borrower.
A few persons have shown a dis
position to evade their obligation ~but
John Burke, United States Treasurer,
takes great pleasure In the fact that
honesty seems an Inborn trait in most
American citizens.
Small Security Asked
Of the $2,500,000 provided by Con
gress it !s not yet known how much
was distributed. It has been placed
in the hands of consular agents all
over Europe. Whenever a loan is
made to an American he is required
to sign a promissory note and give his
American address. No other security
is asked. It is not a strict way of
doing business but Uncle Sam wanted t
his folks to come home. v
The consular officers forward the '
notes to Washington. So tar about
$600,000 in these notes has reached
the capital. On those notes $270,000
has been paid. Much more than half }
of them remain unpaid a year after {
the emergency arose. For a long 3
time the Treasury was receiving 1
money on them at the rate of SSOO a J
day. Now it is coming in only at 1
the rate of SIOO a day, having mate- 1
rlally slowed up. (
Three difficulties are most In the 1
way of the collection of this money. <
Many of its recipients cannot be]'
] found. Many others state that, at the >
time of receiving the money, it was 1
not their understanding that it was >
to be returned. Many are In financial 1
straits and unable to pay.
The payment of these loans in some
instances involves considerable hard
ship. Many of the stranded tourists '
were teachers and other small salaried
people who had saved money for
years for the purpose of making the 1
European trip which had been plan- |
ned as economically as possible. In ]
most instances round trip tickets had |
been purchased, but it was rarely pos
sible to use them in getting back |
home. So the expenses caused by the I
war often amounted to almost if not i
quite as much as the sum provided l
i for the entire trip. Yet the Indebted- I
I ness is being paid off slowly but j
i surely, sometimes in instalments as
■ small as a single dollar. None of the
! notes will be cancelled except upon'
their payment and the government 1
will steadily proceed in its attempts 1
to collect them. 1
All Brought to Account <
Some individuals have shown a 1
disposition to evade payment of the j
loans, but they are likely to be dealt ,
HA SKIN Letter —Gal Two—Sept 9 ..
with summarily. Several persons who ,
gave fictitious addresses in Europe t
have been located through special in- :
vestigatlons. As each note was re
ceived from Europe a communication
was sent to its maker giving notifica
tion of the fact that it was in posses
sion of the United States Treasury.
In many Instances prompt replies were
received proposing a method of pay
ment. Several borrowers remitted
their loans to the Treasury before
their notes had been received from
Europe.
When the address given upon the
note was found to be incorrect, the
co-operation of the Post Office De
partment has been asked and hun
dreds have been straightened out.
I Mistakes in many cases were unlnten
! tlonal. A few persons who evidently
| had intended to evade payment, upon
] being located, were induced to ar
j range terms of settlement.
Borrowers Unheard From
Despite Treasurer Burke's supreme
! optimism, there is still a large per
! centage of borrowers who have made
no effort toward repaying the loans
from the government. The Attorney
f General has been asked to make pre
liminary examination preparatory to
legal proceedings. No suit yet has
been brought and the United States
Government will not distress any de
linquent who acknowledges his obli
gation but those who are able to pay
will be compelled to do so.
The clerical work in connection
with these notes is tremendous. Some
times Beveral notes were given by the
same individual. For instance, a note
might be given In Berlin for funds suf
ficient to meet certain obligations and
take the tourist to Paris. A second
might be given there and perhaps
a third in London to pay for the pass
age to America. There necessarily
is considerable delay in securing these
notes from the office 3 abroad as in
many instances the consuls are with
out sufficient clerical assistance and
the account of an individual cannot
be closed until all his notes are pre
sented.
The details of this great emergency
loan business, involving the handling
of over $6,000,000 In comparatively
small sums, include many Incidents
of both humor and pathos. Few of
these will ever be made public. Per
sons not entitled to receive aid fre
quently presented themselves with fic
titious claims. The utmost vigilance
was required to prevent fraud. At
the same time the generous spirit
which provided the funds aided its
distribution so that prompt relief was
rendered to urgent need even in cases
of possible doubt. Even though the
government should loss a considerable
part of its advances, the loss would <
be considered insignificant in propor- !
tion to the value of the service ren- ]
dered, and the avoidance of possible '
complications that might have arisen i
with large numbers of stranded Amer- <
leans in the war zone. ,
