RAPS FINANClERS

WASHINGTON-P res d e !
Roosevelt said today he believed
nations which have defaulted on
private bonds owned by American
citizens are, nevertheless. entitled
to participate in loans under the
proposed self-liquidating recovery
lending program.
Under one phase Of the new
lending program. the government
would make advances to foreign
nations for the purpose Of en-
couraging U. S. foreign trade.
Roosevelt directed his discussion
particularly to the situation OF
South American nations which
have defaulted on private debts
held In this country. He said that
in the first place, many Of the
bonds issued by South American
nations in the decade 192o-30 were
forced upon them through high
pressure salesmanship Of New York
financial interests.
In the second place. he said. the
bonds were then forced upon
American investors by the simple
expedient Of distribution through
little banks Of the country. which
were compelled by the large Is
suing interests to TAXI the Sc
curities.
