HAsBTNGroS, APnl lL-At its sss-
sion on Thursday the Pan-AzerlcEn Goa
ference took up saa disposed OF the re-
0rts OF the committee On customs
union, adopting the report Of the ma
iority With three disseating votes es-thoss
Of the Argentine Republic, Chilli and
Paraguay. The report adopted reeem-
mends ghst reciprocity treaties es ne
gotiAted between the several rspa 6iies
Of the American hemisphere, each max
ing tariff concessions 80 that the peoal-
lar prod ucts q each may be intrsd aeed
free into the other.
The pan American committee on
banking SAYS in its report that com
merce could be extended greatly by
facilitating direct exchanges between
the money markets OF the countries rep
resented in the conference. The mer-
chants of the United States now import
ing goods from South and Central Amer
ica make these importstions almost
without exception through the use Of
English bankers credits.
The fetal foreign commerce OF the
West Indies, Mexico, South and Cen
tral America last year amounted 10 sl,-
os5, 902, coo in United States gold. The
total exchange Of commodities between
the United States and countries TO ths
south aggregated S2s2, 9o2, 4oS. Foreign
banks reapsd me profit OF commission
of a of per cent on large proper
tion OF these sums, says the report,
which, together with interests and dif-
ferences in exchange, might be saved
q The committee does not think tho
Governments themselves should afford
financial facilities. The best means OF
remedying the existing difficulty, the
committee thinks, is by the passage by
the United States OF law incorporat-
ing an international American bank,
with ample capital, with the
privilege on the part OF the citizens Of
the several countries in the conference
to take shares in the bank pro rata 70
their foreign commerce, this bank to
have all the powers now enjoyed by Ma
tional banks Of the United States ex-
cept the power TO emit circulating
notes.
In conclusion, the report recommends
10 the Governments represented the
granting of concessions for information
al banking. and especially the eStab-
! lishment Of an international American
bank. to be organized under United
States National charter. with branches
or agencies in the several rep
resentative countries, and, as
incident thoreto, suggests to the
delegates of the United States
the desirability of submitting this re-
port to the President of the United
| States. with view that, should he deem
| it proper, he may recommend TO the
| Congress Of the United States tho enact
rnent OF charter for an international
American bank for the benefit and en-
largement Of the commerce OF the
! Americas.
