RUSSIAN RAILROAD BONDS BOUGHT.
EDWARD n GIBBS SAYS 1T is NOTHING NEW FOR
THE NETWORK LIFE TO INVEST IN
FOREIGN SECURITIES

Edward ~ Gibbs. treasurer of the New-York Life
Insurance Company. seen by Tribune reporter
yesterday at the Metropolitan Club with reference
a report that the company had bought s1e.000Oo0
of Russian railroad bonds guaranteed principal and
interest at per cent by the Russian Government
Mr.. Gibbs said:
1t is not new thing for the company to get
securities in foreign countries. We had already
purchased about 81 100000 of Russian bonds and
have bought 100000 of Russian railroad bonds In
addition. For years we have been buying abroad
and our investments are not confined to Russia,
past. present or prospectively. We have also been
buying bonds in Germany and Switzerland. These
bonds represent better investment than
get there We have large Continental business, and
we are required 70 make investments abroad, just
in New York State required to make a
deposit of 100000 with the Insurance Department
at Albany. So far the Continent is concerned
may say that within the last ninety days the price
of securities has favored the buyer rather than the
seller, and we have been able to make more de-
srabe investments than could make here at
the same time. We shall continue To buy abroad.
We buy every day in the year. We are always
investors.
The resources of Russia in proportion to her
debt so large that no government Of Europe
makes a safer obligation. Germany, Switzerland.
Austria and Italy are just as good but do not
think any of them is better than Russia.
