EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
FOREIGN UTILITIES.
BY GEORGE 7. HUGHES.

In a public address the other day
a New York investment banker com
pared the bonds of foreign utility
companies with domestic issues OF
the same type, making the point that
the extra 212 per cent obtainable on
the foreign security was compensa-
ton for the additional political risk
and the factor of distance.
The idea is that security in the way
of property value, earnings and out
look for foreign public utilities is
comparable to the same conSldera-
.tionS in the case of domestic electric
light and power bonds. When the for
eigner has to pay more for his money
than the American does with equal
security, ii is because of the risk of
political complications and because an
investor has more difficulty in keep
ing in touch with operating results
when he puts his money into some
thing so far away from home
Probably this is sound reasoning. 1t
may be carried a step further. how
ever. Foreign bonds generally Weld
higher return than domestic bonds
for the same causes. That being the
case if one is to buy a foreign secur-
ity why not take the utility instead o.
the government bond? The political
risk and the factor of distance are
the same in both instances and the
utility bond invariably brings a high
er return than the government bond.
This may be easily verified by com
parlng prices OF Japanese government
bonds with Japanese utilities, of Ger
man government bonds with German
utilities, OF Austrian government
bonds with Austrian utilities. and Of

1t will probably be objected that
the government issue is higher

which is true, but it is doubtful if
the difference in the grade of invest
ment is sufficient to account for the
difference in the price. At any rate
there is much to be said in favor of
