THE AMERICAN DOLLAR ABROAD
The American Dollar is conducting
an extraordinary invasion into far
countries. It is consolidating a do
minion on which, like that of the
Brit:?h Empire, the sun never sets.
In the prosy diction of our commerce
department 12.300,000.000 American
dollars are now invested in foreign
securities. If to that sum were add-
ed the capital which Americans have
ventured in privaie emerpri.-e iiiioau
the total can only be conjectured.
Latin-America is the most attrac
tive field; our investments there be-
ing estimated at $4, S00. 000, 000.
Europe comes next, with $3,500,000,-
000 Canada has absorbed $3.200. -
000.000 and Asia and other coun-i
tri's $930,000,000.
