UNCLE SAM AND FOREIGN LOANS

In The last fiscal year ending June So foreign loans
and securities placed in this county by 80 foreign ma
tiOns amounted to $1134 100000. That was lot of
money to take out of the country and doubt good
deal Of it invested foOlshly The process has con
tinued without interruption until the state department
is worried.
That department has been acting years as censor
but rather effectively Bankers have usually referred
dropped those which the department disapproved. 1t
is said now that may be asked to give formal
sanction to such censorship.
The state department is said to be concerned not
merely for the safety of American investors money
but for the political complications with foreign gov
ernments that may result from the failure to repay
these foreign loans.
It is difficult for an oldfashoncd student of gov
ornment to that Uncle Sam is necessarily con-
cerned with such matters.
When our government lends money to another gov
ernment. the collection of it, naturally, is Uncles bus
mess. When citizens lend money foreign cor
pOration, private public, of their own free will
that is presumably their business They take the same
risk abroad that they would take at home Why should
anyone expect the federal government to act as COL
ector of such loans any than it would act as col
lcctor Of domestic private loans?
This is evidently the view the Investment Bankers
Association takes OF the matter 1t is opposed to the
suggested regulation by the government.
There be no valid objection to governmental ad-
vice about foreign lands, when solicited That is
good thing. But should that be the function of
.the Department of Commerce rather than the State
Department? The latter has problems enough of its
own and those problems big and delicate enough
without complcating them by censorship or collect
orship for private Investment interests.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Last years fire loss in the United States according
to fire insurance figures, reached the startling total
of $560,O00000 This represents only the property
loss. In addition, thousands of persons were killed.
The loss incurred in delays, misery and want caused
by fire is not estimable.
Defective chimneys and fues responsible for
fires causing $2l 100000 DAMAGE careessness with
gasoline and oil caused $100C00O0 loss; electricity tho
considered the safest form hight and heat is charged
with fire loss Of $15000000 the result of defective
wiring
Ignorance, carelessness, disorder and untidiness
are held the four cardinal of this enormous
fire loss.
These may be found existing right here in Ell Centro

as Fire Prevention Week. is also Cleanup Week.

Why had he followed the latter dur

gamekeeper dared to speak to her that
afternoon? And F'errars had called

so angry; not on her account, surely?
The questions and perplexities
thronged her mind, but foremost of
them all was the strange and for

impersonated Horace Gray, and with
his vision before her she fell at last
into troubled dreams. ="
It was still dark when she awakened
to find herself sitting bolt upright in
bed. straining her ears for repetition
of the sound which had roused her.
Nothing broke the silence but the pat
tering of rain on the balcony outside
and the soughing of wind among the
leafy branches. Was it just a night
mare? Surely every one else was
asleep beneath that roof!

together something moist and white
like moth or tiny, wind-driven night
bird larted in, barely touching her
cheek and seeming to fiutter to the
floor, where it lay still.
Janet shrank back and stood for a
moment staring down at the small,
motionless object, then impulsively
closed the window, drew the heavy
curtains and switched on her low light
once more.
The thing which lay befors her was
