quite rare and confined mostly to Cuba,

governIren loans have been Eener-
ously taken by American inv estcrs. OF
course, foreign loans put out hcre have

and used to pay for goods imported to
Europe, thus aiding the prosperity of
the country. Manufacturers, particu-
larly, were quick to recognize the i'm
portance of making foreign leans a
success, and they are credited with
