In a paper read by Mr. George Paish before the

Royal Statistical Society it was shown that at the end of 1907 the total amount of capital invested abroad was 22,693,738,000, about half being invested in India and the Colonies. This capital was bringing in an income of 2139,791,000 per annum, which is equal to a return of 5.2 per cent. In the three years since 1907 the amount had been increased to 23,191,836,000. In the United States the amount invested had now reached the sum of 2688,000,000.
