years the companys agents had point

Baker said most of them, however,
went back several years before the 1927
| issue.
Yes, but they continued up to 1925,
two years before the loan was made"
Pecora said.
The counsel then recalled statement
by Baker at the opening of the hearing
that the credit history" of a country
was considered in studying foreign bond
issues.
You have noticed your files showed
Peru's credit history was bad?" Pecora
asked
Yes" Baker replied, adding that the
reports were showing improvement.

Wan loan was fioated in 1927
Baker said he was president and be-
came chairman in 1929.
Does he owe the company any
money!" Reynolds asked.
Not cent" Baker replied.
Pecora called Schoepperle to the
stand.
Isn't it fact the Peruvian govern
ment managed to balance its budget
only three times in the period from
1915 to 1922" asked Pecora.
Yes" replied Schoepperle.
And" Pecora continued. isn't it also
fact that as a rule Peruvian expendi-
lures exceeded Peruvian revenues by a
substantial amount over the 10-year
period?"
Schoepperle said that was a fact
generally"
Conditions Reported Bad.
Questioning Baker again, Pecora pro-
duced reports by company employees
in 1925 which showed that conditions
in many industries were still bad.
He followed this, however, with one
in December, 1925. which painted a
much better picture of the Peruvian

not recommend loans on unsecured
government obligations" but would
have them secured with payments to
be made to branches in Peru from
government revenue.
This was only one and a fourth
years, approximately. before this to-
bacco boOm?" Pecora asked, referring
to the 1927 bond issue.
Yes" Baker said.
Pecora read from the memorandum
an extract which said the company
representative felt a secured Peruvian
loan would involve no greater risk"
than other issues in which the National
City company was interested.
Progress Shown by Report.
Wasn't this the same gentleman who
executed the loan agreement in 1927
for your company?"
Yes" Schoepperle replied, answering
for Baker.
WAS there anything in that memo
randum that encouraged the fiotation
of the tobacco loan in 1922" Pecora
asked.
1T showed progress was being made" {"
Baker said.
1T also showed conditions were still
disturbed economically and politically"
Pecora added.
Yes, but with a favorable trend"
Baker said.
Pecora asked what Baker understood
from the phrase that under certain
conditions the loan would be mo great
