OCR CHINESK INVESTMENTS
Now that Japan Is invading China and war clouds seem
to be lowering all over the civilised world, we hear a great deal
about foreign investments in China. One of the moat accurate
treatises on the subject is C. F. Remer's book, "Foreign Investments ln China," and it is especially Interesting because It gives
comparable estimates of the holdings of the various western powers.
The book Shows that ln 1931 the total Investments ln China, exclusive of missionary and charitable investment*, was $3,242,500,000. Of this) total, business Investments amounted to 80.2 per cent
and government obligations made up the remaining 194 per cent.
The investments were divided as follows: Great Britain, 36.7
per cent; Japan, 38.1 per cent; Russia, 8.4 per cent; United States,
,*U per cent, and France, 8.9 per cent. The Japanese and Russian
•Cures have changed since then as the Manchurtan railroad was
•old by Russia to Japan at a price of $210,500,000.
Secretary of Commerce Roper reported to Senator Nye
recently that our investments in China totaled $132,000,000 while
our Investments in Japan were a little leas than half that amount.
Added to the above can be, placed $40,000,000 worth of Chinese
securities which are In default and may never be paid, $30,000,000
worth of property belonging to American citizens who have chosen
to live in China permanently and $40,000,000 worth of missionary
and charitatole organisation property.
While it is true, as Secretary Roper says, that safeguarding
American rights abroad Is a matter of principle and not of the
ahw of the stake Involved; yet the average American finds considerable of Interest in the figures, since a great deal of the
