EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Dollar Bonds and Sterling Bonds.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

One important change has come
about in the field of foreign invest
ment with the return to par Of the
British pound sterling. This change
Is the elimination of the speculative
factor in bonds payable principal and
interest in British currency. There
are, of course, many of this kind OF
bonds and some Of them have been
widely distributed in this country
They are not only obligations of the
British government or of British cor
porationS, but issues put out by other
foreign countries and originally mar
keted in London. For many years
South and Central American nations
did the bulk of their financing In
Great Britain, so their loans were eX-
pressed in British money.
When sterling exchange was below
par there was "a good deal of specula-
tive buying of these bonds by Amer
leans because they were investing not
only in the credit of the borrower but
they were speculating in exchange.
This opportunity is now passed, and
any one who buys a sterling bond has
only to consider it's investment merit.
There may be instances where the
sterling bond is more attractive than
the corresponding dollar issue, but
these cases are very exceptional For
all practical purposes II is now ad-
visable to confine ones self TO dollar
bonds for one reason If no other
than that the market on this side for
the dollar issue is generally better
than for the sterling description. Nor
can any investor complain that there
Is any lack of variety in dollar issues,
which now include all grades from
the most conservative investments to
those highly speculative.
1t is an interesting fact also that
when an issue has been marketed
for foreign government either IN
London or New York the rule Is
that 1t brings a higher price abroad
than IL does here in this country. The
reason for this is that British in
Vestors have been educated to buy
foreign securities, while on this side
only a beginning has been made in
this direction. The United States Is
now the great credit reservoir of
the world, and foreign borrowers come
here now just as before the war they
went to London. The time is soon
coming, therefore, when the dollar
bonds will command as high a price
as does the sterling issue. Mean
while all the advantage to the buyer
is in taking the dollar issue.
