r A iragic case occurring in iew iurK me ouiei uuy iajimls
(in old! moral with appalling emphasis. A little girl, asleep
In herlbedroom, had her head nearly blown off by a shotgun,
jt looked Jike murder. A suspect was arrested, and circum
stantial .evidence began to tighter around him. Then sud
denly the tragedy was explained. The shotgun had been
placed in that bedroom by the girl's parents, who thought
they Had reason to fear a revengeful attack. The gun was
leaning1 against a chair. A little boy cousin, entering the room
in thejmorning to waken the girl for school, accidentally trip
ped or( the gunso that it fell against him and went off, kill
ing the girl. He was so frightened that he ran away and
concealed the story as long as he could. What a place for a j
shotgun in a child's bedroom ! What is any kind of explosive
weapon doing anywhere within reach of a child?
UNCUl'SAM AND FOREIGN LOANS
In the last fiscal year, ending June 30, foreign loans and
securities placed in this country by 30 foreign nations
amounted to f 1,134,000,000. That was a lot of money to
take out of the country, and no doubt a good deal of it was'
invested foolishly. The process has continued without in-,
terruption until the state department is worried. !
The department has been acting for years as censor of j
foreign loans. It has acted without legal authority, but j
rather effectively. Hankers have usually referred to it for-1
eign issues they proposed to handle, and have dropped those'
which the department disapproved, it is said now that con
gress '.may be asked to give formal sanction to such cen
sorship. ' '
" The state department is said to be 'concerned not merely
for the safety of American investor's money but for the po
litical .complications with foreign governments that may re
sult from the failure to repay these foreign loans. It is dif
ficult for an old-fashioned student of government to see that
Uncle Sam is necessarily concerned with such matters.
When our government lends money to another govern
ment,! the collection of it, naturally, is Uncle's business.
When' our citizens lend money to a foreign corporation, pri
vate or public, of their own free will that is presumably !
their business. They take the same risk that they would
lake at home. . Why should anyone expect the federal gov
ernment to act as collector of such loans, any more than it
vould,act as collector of domestic private loans?
j This is evidently the view the Investment Hunkers' as
sociation takes of the matter. It is opposed to the suggested
regulation by the government.
Tlere can be no valid objection to governmental advice
lilxiut. foreign loans, when solicited. That is a good thing.
Hut should that mn? be the function r the department of
commerce rather than the state department? The latter has
problems enough of its own, and those problems are big and
delicate enough without complicating them by censorship
or collectorship for private investment interests.
