GUS, according to estimates Of the

more active part in financing for
eign enterprises in the future.
If foreign nations begin payment
of their debts to the United States
imports probably will exceed ex-
ports regularly, the statement said
General prosperity was disclosed
by the fact that American tourists
spent $500, 900 900 abroad in 1928, an
average of about $3.50 for each
traveller. One hundred thousand

tourists in this country at approx.
mately $500 a head.
Millions for Charity.
Charitable organizations, chiefly
the Red Cross, Near East Relief
and Rockefeller Foundation spent
$40,00O,000 abroad during the year,
while church mission work added
another $4,000, 900.
The report said that during the
past year 100000 foreigners in
this country sent about $3.50, 000. 900
to friends and relatives abroad
Probably 100000. 900 was returned
by immigrants.
From foreign sources the Govern
ment received $3.50 900 900, while the
Government spent $4,000, 900
abroad, including $12,000,0000 on an
arbitration award to Norway and

American investments abroad
January l were given as $4,000 ,000,-
900; $4,000, 000,0 in Canada, and
over a billion in each Of Cuba,
Mexico, South America and Europe.
1t was estimated American investors
received $500. 000,0OO in interest from
foreign sources. Foreigners had
1897 900, 900 in American banks and
floated securities approximating
1917 100000 in United States during
