II the electric light company keeps Its

when the inevitable readjustment takes place.
Brazil most likely will seek to place her loans
in the United States.
Chile now has outstanding obligations in the
nature of public debts to the amount of $21OOOO,-
0OO The country has borrowed largely on the
underlying security of the nitrate beds and the
revenue to be obtained from them. The European
war interferes with the demand for these fertil-
izers and a temporary result may be that the
workmen In many of the nitrate fields will be out
Of employment. However, the permanent source
of wealth which Chile possesses in the nitrate
beds remains.
Uruguay, for an agricultural country, may be
assumed to have q pretty large debt since the
total now amounts to $138,000O0O. Yet the re-
public, which is the gold standard and which
has a dollar worth more than the dollar Of the
United States holds high rank In European fnan-
cial circles because OF the certainty with which
its financial obligations have been met.
few months ago when an emergency loan of
$10,O00OO0 was wanted Uruguay made vain efforts
to place it in the United States. Ultimately II
had to be placed In London, Paris and Antwerp,
at 861a.
BY far the larger part of the public debts OF
the South American countries is held In England.
While some of the loans which have been placed
through London have been apportioned to other
monetary centers in Europe and have been alb
sorbed on the continent probably between seventy
and seventy-five per cent Of the obligations re-
main in England.
These general facts about the debts of the
South American countries and their distribution
in Europe are essential to know in Judging OF
the probability of American capital at some pc
Rod in the near future relieving Europe Of part
of its South American financial burden. Hereto
fore there has been no market in the United
States
The main question recurs, and on 1t depend in
large degree the future trade relations of the
United States with South America: Can the
United States spare South America $500, 600
during the next five years? Can 1t supply $780,
100000 during the next IL months,

Peru, after the war with Chile in 1881, was left
with debt monumental that it never could
have recovered If the burden had remained. The
country worked out Of the situation by turning
over the state railways under long lease to the
Peruvian corporation, which also given the
remaining guano deposits and various land con-
cessions.
The Peruvian corporation and the government
have had more or less friction under the arrange
ment; but SO far as its status borrowing ma
ton was concerned Peru was able to face the
world without big debt During the last quarter
of century the total Indebtedness incurred has
not been large. 1t amounts approximately to
$35 100000 Peru was in the market for a loan
when the European war broke out.
Bolivia, the midcontinent country OF South
America left by the with Chile without
seaport also was able to start the peace with
out big national debt The amount Of the diff
ferent forms of what may be called the Bolivian
debt is now between $19000,000 and $20,OO0.OOO.
Paraguay, on account of its numerous revolu-
lions and possibly for other reasons never has
had much success in securing money from Ell-
rope It's present public debt is between $11OOO.-
600 and $4,000, 900. The opening of railway COM
munications with Buenos Aires and other chap
tiers of peaceful development have inclined Euro
pean financiers to look more favorably on Para
quay, and loan for the country was in prospect
until month ago. Now. IL Paraguay borroWs, 1t
will have to be in New York instead of In London.
Taking the group of countries which are not
large borrowers out OF ken, 1t will be found that
the bulk Of the public debts of South American
countries are those of the Argentine republic.
Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. THIS group of coun-
tries owes Europe-that is the governments owe
Europe-more than 81 zoo. 100000. They are able
to meet their obligations, though some of the
loans may require refunding new basis.
The borrowing nations really the Abe,
or mediating South American countries which
helped President Wilson settle the Mexican i'm
broglio. and Uruguay.
The total of the Argentine obligations is varia-
ble according to the amount of cedulas or ma
tional mortgage bonds, which are in circulation.
