them, in case Of need, that in the Missis-
sIppi Valley there is a vast territory where
French commerce could find acOnsideTable
supply of material on the most profitable
terms and an important outlet for its pro
ducts. We desire that the French COM
merce should observe TIE benefits 70 be de-
rived in exchanging with rs directly; and
We calculate upon receiving the support Of
the SyndiCal Chambers to succeed. We
invite them to send delegates to Tennessee
and assure themselves Of these advantages,
and We promise their delegates, by reci-
prOcity, a return Of your good offices to US
here

lowing questions:
ais there no occasion to comply with TIE
wishes expressed in the preceding declaTa-
tiOn, BY giving a consistency 20 the pso-
posed exchange of support, in favOring,
in a more positive manner, the business re-
latiOn between the two countries the Syn
dical Chamber Of Paris, constituting =
committee which would study the means
of creating in Paris some kind Of an organ
izatiOn, which would take charge of, and
attend TO the interests Of the merchants Of
Tennessee desiring to deal with France?'
'sDO the delegates think that we could
hope that the Chambers Of Commerce they
represent would be disposed to favor the
establishment Of a similar organization,
rendering the same service to the French
merchant
The delegates answered, cOinciding with
the views Of the Commission; and as to the
utility of the organization Of which they
had spoken, they thought there was every
reason to hope that the Chambers Of Com
merce, which had sent them, would will
lingly name 4 committee which would
study in concert with the committee from
Paris, the means Of realizing this PROPOSE
ton; and they pledge themselves to submit
the question to their respective chambers,
and do all in their power to have the same
determined affirmatively. iThe commits
sion took DOte of this answer and pledged
themselves to render all aid to attain the
same end. They delegated Mr.. Hazard to
correspond with the delegates and their
chambers, after which they adjourned until
