JOHN BULL, "UNcLE."
Many Loans Made by That Country
Will Never Be Repaid.

There is not q country in the world
which has not had to borrow money
from these isles, says "Pearson's Week.
ly," and there are few governments
which have not had to fall back upon
John Bull when they've been in Queer
street.
Guatemala has borrowed a large
amount of British capital. How do mat
ters stand today. The bonds for f100
are worth somewhere about f23 only.
and there has been no payment Of
interest since June, 1899. Even then on
ly paltry percent was paid, and half
of that was not In cash.
Honduras is far worse debtor. The
bond which have face value of G 100
are dear at G5. All this is owing to the
fact that Honduras spends far more
than II earns.
Columbia, strictly speaking, owes
British investors e3,500, 900. Nearly the
whole of these debts are due to British
creditors. This particular republic, in
1897, called its creditors together, and
made them an offer Of a composition of
so much in the pound. 1t wiped out its
old debt by giving new bonds for G2,-
zoo, 900, on which It paid 1-2 percent
interest.
Even other countries, about which
we know far more, such as Greece and
Turkey are almost as bad. A Greek
6 100 bond Is worth from G31 to G44,
according to its class. A Turkish bond,
series D. is worth but G26. That Is
why British creditors sigh.
Greece owes her very existence to
John Bull. Then the money she owes
him! This must amount to somewhere
about two and half millions, exclud-
ing the loan Of 1898, all of which Is gone
hopelessly. The latter loan was one of
96, 800 900, and was guaranteed by Brit
ain, France and Russia, each country
being liable for a third of 1t. Should
France and Russia decide to renounce
their liability, poor old John will have
to go bail for the full amount. Very
likely this loan will never be repaid.
Greece's old taskmaster is another
unfortunate debtor. In 1881 the Otto
man government, being unable to meet
its liabilities, was obliged TO call to-
gether it's creditors in order to enter in
to an arrangement with them. John
Bull must have a sum of about 6 ,0O0.-
900 owing him by Turkey. This sum is
the balance still owing of loan Of
95000000 made in 1855 in order to
help Turkey to fight Russia.
Egypt owes a loan obtained so re-
Gently as 1897. In John Bulls account
OF his expenditure there is a heading,
Special Services: Egyptian Govern
ment, Grant in Aid" Under this is an
amount of f79s,8
This is because John lent Egypt
something better than mere money. He
lent her men with brains. who have
made her into q healthy, prosperous
country Of the sort that pay on their
debts in full. Egypt has other debts
than monetary debts to pay on.
