OHIO TO GIVE

Ex-serv1ce men. who when sign ing up in conformity with the draft regulations at the outset of the war, gave care of the Billboard, Cincin- dress, take otice.

The cheeks are ready to be forwarded now to eXpectant and appreclat1Ve horde of former soldiers and sailors.
 Scattered about the United States at the time the draft became law was a large number of men employed in the circus and theatrical business, who have no home. Many of them were born or practically brought up "on the road" There are thousands today in the show business who can always be reached by sending mail. 'fcare of the Billboard. Cincinnati. O." The Billboard is a well known amuSe- ment journal, published weekly and carries an enormous mail list each week. Many uerfomrTs constantly keep the Billboard posted, and their mail is forwarded withous advertis- ing, the ma gazine having the route sheets of the performer.
 When the government was con fronted with the problem of handling the many who had no other home ad- dress, 1t was decided that all so reg istering should be assigned to Local board No 8, Cincinnati, Q.

 Any who sees this warning should immediately commun unicate by letter with the Billboard and all necessary blanks will be forwarded for filling out. Many show folks will have warm spot in their hearts for Ohio as long as they live.

obtain accurate data. In. this way we have made it possible for for eigners to pay for the great quan- tity of our goods they have pur- chased. The transfers of funds for these intangible services, etc, which are the so-called invisible items of trade, are as truly commodities as are tue visible materials of com merce.
 The invisible items of which the amounts are known are the loans of capital made by the United States to other countries. These are of two kinds--loans made by individ- ual citizens through banking and investment houses to foreign states. municipalities and corporations and loans made by our government to other governments.
 The amount of the various for eign loans f1oated through invest ment bankers in the United States since July. 1914, and outstanding December 31. 1920, total $1.9s9. .717, 727. This total Is exclusive Of $426.- 45S, ,45S loaned before July. 1914, and stin outstanding and of loans

of these and other payments w1& raise somewhat our debit batancs of $5, ,6O9, ,954, ,404, which must be met by invisible items of unknown total amounts.
 On the debit side we must placa the various forms of American cap ital transferred to other countries. This represents the use of our funds abroad, for which the owners receive returns either in profits or services.
 The principal item of American capital sent overseas during tho war was for the purpose of repur- chasing the securities of American companies in which investments had been made by European capi- talists before 1914. According to the most reliable estimates, ap- proximately S2,OOO, 100000 of such securities had been repurchased by America before our entrance into suppose that not far from $3,0OO,- COG, 900 of American securities had been repurchased up to the end of 1920. This repurchase resulted in reducing our capital indebtedness abroad by more than fifty per cent.
 Charges for interest and divi- dends on American securities re- maining in the possession of for efgn holders form another invisible item of the balance. In the same class are charges for insurance premiums, for freights, and for travelling expenses of American tourists abroad. Such payments were very considerable before the war, though it is impossible to es- innate them now with assurance of even approximate accuracy.
 Many Americans are living in Europe as formerly, and the tour ists who come from every class or our population are again travelling abroad spending large sums. To these expenditures may be added the sums of money left in France by the members Of the American Expeditionary Forces. Also. during the larger part of the period under review, we did not have the great merchant marine we now possess. Our new fleet of cargo carriers did not engage in trade until 1919, and, therefore, the principal part Of the high ocean freight rates of the war period was paid to foreign ship ping companies
 American funds have also been sent abroad for the purpose Of purchasing depreciated foreign cur rency bonds, bank notes and ex- change.
 The remittances of immigrants and of our relief organizations form another invisible item of no small amount.
 American capital, attracted by the hope of profits In the compara- lively undeveIoped parts of the earth, is the last invisible item Of considerable importance. It has gone into oil and mining develop ments in Central and South Amer { ica, into Cuban sugar plantations, Chilean nitrate beds, La Plate, Brazilian and Colombian packing | houses, into the rubber and hemp . plantations of the Far East, the system of China, European industries. and especially into the establishment of branch factories across the Canadian bor.,

During the first six months of the armistice our government needed all the funds that could be raised in the home market. Therefore 1t would probably have been impossi- ble for foreign governments to raise by loans through American invest ment bankers funds sufficient to pay for the even larger quantities Of American goods which were needed by the entire world Immediately upon the cessation of hostilities.
 The excess of our exports over our imports grew rapidly in this period. In order to support the trade 1t was necessary for our Gov ernment to continue granting cred it's to other countries until private financing could again take up the task.
 We must, however, include among our invisible items of foreign trade s1 ,4oO, ,557, LII, representing English, French and Italian currencies placed at the disposal of our Government by those countries for the purchase abroad of materials needed by our Army in the prosecution of the war This represents additional remit tapces abroad of American funds, as the dollar equivalents were pro vided for the use of the respective governments to meet their war ex- penditure in the United States Therefore the total of our Govern ment expenditure directly support ing our foreign trade from 1917 to 1920 reaches a4out s11O00. .OOo, 900.
 On the credit side of the balance should be added items of payment covering interest and dividends up- on American capital in use in other countries, bankers profits. freights and insured losses paid. The total
