Peek urges audit system to curb foreign capital movement
In a letter to President Roosevelt, N. Peek calls for strict controls on foreign trade and capital flows. He proposes a national bookkeeping system to audit international financial relations and a government credit rating agency to assess foreign borrowers. He estimates world debt to the US at 20.645 billion and urges balance sheets with each country to manage migration of capital. He favors linking trade policy to financial responsibility and flags unsettled risks among nations.
