It is gen- erally agreed, according to the New York Times, that they are in excess of ene billion and that more American capital is invested there than in any other forcign country, ex- cept Canada. The total depends on the current value attributed to such properties as sugar plan- tations and business enterprises dependent on the sugar business. Probably the most conservative figures, which represent a scaling dow» more or less in proportion to today’s actual values are those compiled by the department of commerce. They place the total long-term investments by Americans at $1,040,000,000. A recent survey of the state depart- ment puts the Cuban public debt at about 200 millions. This is largely owed to Americans. The state department estimate would appear to credit larger bond hold- ings to Americans than does the depart- ment of commerce. There is also a floating debt of from 42 to 50 millions facing the new Cuban ad- ministration. The external funded debt is still partly in the hands of European investors. One estimate was that only 30 millions of the $56,481,000 outstanding debt is held by American investors. Of the internal fund- ed debt, practically none is in American portfolios; of the public works debt, practi- cally all, Discrepancies in the various estimates of our investors’ holdings in Cuba do not obscure the fact that a vast amount of American capital has found employment in Cuban sugar ventures, especially since 1914, When the world war cut Cuba off from its European sugar, President Wilson urged Cubans to inerease their yield as a matter of duty. Cuban planters sought capital in the United States to pur- chase modern equipment enabling them to press more juice from the cane, and Amer- ican bankers were responsive. Cuban production rose steadily until one-fourth of the world’s supply of cane sugar, or about 4,500,000 tons, was pro- duced in the period from 1921-1927. Of this enormous total the United States took 80 percent, or more than half of what it used, and the United Kingdom 10 percent. The years immediately following the depression of 1920 were the most prosper- ous Cuba has yet seen. American capital invested there seemed to be gainfully occu- pied. But later, over-production, the lim- itation of exports to the United States, the effects of the Hawley-Smoot tariff, the world-wide depression, and falling prices, altered the picture. Trade declined. Now amid economic and political dis- turbances in Cuba the government of the United States is trying to see what can be done. A. A. Berle and John D. Laylin were sent to Havana recently by the state de- partment to work out a detailed report on Cuban finances with particular relation to American investments, this report to be a guide in dealing with future governments. LIQUOR WILL LIQUIDATE » More than $1;500,000,000 or a little less than one half of the $3,300,000,000 has been allocated for works of a public nature, in an effort to’stimulate’ Busitiéss and restore prosperity in a sorely tried na- tion. This is an enormous amount of mon- ey, and since the government has no funds, it must come from the pockets of the tax- payers, Some of this money will be repaid from revenue from completed projects, if they prove self-liquidating and undoubted- ly most of them will. It is estimated that about two-thirds of it will be returned in this way but the remainder will have to be returned to the Treasury through spec- ial taxes. These include an extra half cent on gasoline, a five percent tax on div- idends, a tax on corporation capital stock and an excess profit tax. This array of taxes to be imposed for national recovery is a formidable one, but if the eighteenth amendment is repealed, which appears to be a fait accompli, it is calculated that enough revenue will be de-| rived from this source to make the extra taxation unnecessary, and sufficient funds obtained to liquidate money that was bor- rowed for the public works program. If the government in its efforts to help industry has any tnterest in the barber trade it might let Gown the bars against Russian immigrants. eee ee eo re ee err re or re rere er ree THE KEY WES' @eeccoccscoccoCeosoececeCes Daily Cross- T CITIZEN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1933 TODAY’S WEATHER COCeCeQSoeGeEeseusCCQR0O Today In History ieee SL: Sa 1226—Saint Francis of Assisi,| POCCesovLesooocecvccoore word Puzzle eresecese | author, born at Brockton, Mass,, | New York . & Winged died.
