Foreign Bond Regulation Sparks Call for Tight Control
The United States faces a call for foreign bond sale regulation after scandals where banks and others pushed billions in bankrupt or near bankrupt bonds. The Senate Judiciary Committee backs Senator Johnson's bill to require Washington approval before foreign bonds may be sold domestically, with thorough investigations before permission. Critics warn of international friction and secrecy needs, but supporters insist regulation protects the American public. The piece also notes railroads and insurers as major offenders, with executive salaries rising since 1929 and policy loan limits tightened, while Senate action ties corporate aid to salary caps and cost cuts.
