ing Good Money After Bad
Credit Rating Needed
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (AP) To
avoid throwing good money after bad,
Oeorge N. Peek suggested to Presi
dent Roosevelt today a strict "Inven
tory" of the billions tht world owes
Americans.
Peek, who Is special foreign trade
adviser to the president, also Indi
cated to newspapermen that he nay
recommend ways to restrict or em
bargo the movement of American
capital to foreign countries considered
"poor risks." He declined, however, to
commit himself on this, declaring the
collection of data Is tha first task.
Peck advocated a national book
keeping system to audit transactions
with foreign nations and a govern
mental credit-rating agency to check
the financial responsibility of na
tions seeking American money.
Debt Tutu! Huge.
In a letter to the president. Peek
estimated the world's net debt to the
United States at $20,645,000,000. The
report, packed with statistics, bears
on "International credits for foreign :
trade and other purposes." It supple
ments a report of May 23 In which
he found that "our international
trade has ,been cumulatively disad
vantageous to us during the post 38
years by reason of the fact that a
large Increase In debts owing to us
from abroad had occurred during this
period"
Peek explained to newspapermen
that during the 1923-1933 period this
country made enormoue "bad in
vestments" abroad and there also was
a flight of capital from the United
States which, he Inferred, aggravated
panic conditions.
Nations with favorable balances of
trade with us might be considered as
"good risks" for loans, Peek Indi
cated, while other nations ,were ob
viously questionable risks.
Trade Main Busts,
He suggested correlation of flnan
ctal transactions with reciprocal trade
agreements to emphasize "trade"
rather than "money."
"All trade Is based on mutually ad
vantageous exchange of goods and
aer vices,' he declared, 'money Is a
medium of exchange, a measure of
value, but not of constant value. It
should not be the master of trade, j
Of late yeara we have consciously or !
unconsciously discouraged trade It-1
self, while we have Increased the em-1
phaals on the medium of exchange."
In a series of tables Peek provided
figures covering the dominant finan
cial situation during different pe
riods. American Investment In for- I
elgn countries (including war debts)
are estimated to have Increased $23,
7oa.000.ooo since 1014 to a total of
2 5.203, 000,000 In 1033, while for
eigners Investments here appear to
have Increased aA7.000.000 to $4,867.
000.000. leaving the world still owing
the United States a net of 120,645,-000,000.

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 19. (AP)
Pacific northwest lumbermen have
celebrated the first anniversary of
their lumber code, with the majority
of them deciding the planned aeon
omy of the NRA la preferable to
overproduction and cutthroat oompt
tit Ion.
Loggers, lumbermen and specialty
wood manufacturers, who belong to
one of the moat Individualistic of all
American Industries, were In a num
ber of Instances losing money even
before the depression, because of un
wise methods.
Forest Head Enthuses
Today, Col. W. B. Oreeley, former
chief of the federal forest service,
says the lumber code la "the greatest
thing that ever happened to the In
d us try."
The chief Industry among lumber
men, so far aa codes are concerned
was explained by a high official of
ay western lumber concern as follows:
"By and large, the Industry likes
the code. The Irritation which can
be found today against certain code
restrictions or examples of looseness
can be attributed to a 40 or 60 per'
cent market, which, under the Demo
cratic code for lumber, must be
shared by all producers."
Operations Reduced
Sharing la fine when there are
enough orders to go around, the lum
bermen say, but the present operat
lng- schedule la only approximately
24 hours a week.
The chief hope of the lumber In
dustry Is the administration 'a re
modexnlzlng and betterment program
Lumber trade expansion plana are
being considered, because manufac
turers and producers believe tha gov
ernment will sttmplate home build
ing.
For the first time under the eode.
an article written In at the request
of President Roosevelt was recently
enforced article 10, which closes log
ging camps when there la danger of
forest fire.
