story Teller for P,ayprounds

OAKLAND. Cal. Aug. "A Story
teller for the Oakland Fairgrounds Is
a plan of the Oakland Recreation de-
partment which is to be put into ef-
feet this fall. The position is new to
Oakland and has been created in but
few cities of the United States.
"A story teller for children has
long been desired in the playground
work." said George Dickie. superin-
tendant of Fairgrounds. among the
children. Story telling is an art in
itself and is a source of much enter
tainment and education when carried
on in systematic way among the
the young folks.
STORY telling has been a part of
the playground work in Oakland
for the past few years but il has not
been placed in the hands OF any one
person. having been done at irregu-
lar intervals by some of the city's
Librarians. who have voluteered their
services, or by the playground direc-
tors who have had to neglect other
duties to do so. This not only fails to
give the best results but takes away
from the efficiency of persons in
other positions
The story teller will have no other
duties, but will follow set schedule
appearing on given days in each OF
the citys Fairgrounds.

MAY CUT PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. AS the
result of plea on the part of all OF
the Pacific coast senators In Wash
ington promised that he would urge
modification of the Panama canal
tolls for the benefit OF vessels carry
ing lumber from Pacific ports
through the canal to the east
Senators Chamberlain and Lane OF
Oregon, Jones of Washington an1
Perkins of California urged the secre-
tary to do all nhis power TO remove
the discrimination against vessels car
rying lumber.
The senators made Il clear that
they did not wish To open up again
the whole question OF Panama canal
tolls as they DO not desire any dis
elimination in favor OF American
shipping. They merely asked for the
removal of what they say is dig
elimination against certain class OK
traffic.
They pointed out that a ship load
ed with lumber must pay for her net
registered tonnage. and then In addl.
tion must pay the regular toll for
each 100 cubic feet OF lumber slowed
on her decks This Is unfair, they
said. because the entire space below
decks cannot be utilized for the stow.
ing of lumber.

view OF the manufacturer. 1t is not
technical banking report; rather it
deals with the financial environment
OF American trade in Argentina, Bra
I'll, Chile and Peru. It's disadvantages,
and examples from the experience o!
other nations that have considered
over-sea banking operations essential
TO their conquest of foreign trade.
Banks In South America fall nat
urally into two classes-foreign banks
and native. or domestic, banks. Al
certain points the business or the two
overlaps; but generally speaking. the
foreign banks transact business per-
tanning to foreign commerce. steadily
extending their network of branches
and exerting their influence to the l.
vantage OF European trade. To this
end European banks finance trade
not only (preferentially) between
their own countries and South Amer
lea but also between the various Lat
in-American nations and between the
United States and South America. The
functions Of these foreign banks may
be summarized as exchange, collec-
tions. loans and discounts. credit in
formation and investment.
The United States pays London an
nually a large toll in the form OF
bankers commissions, but more i'm
portant is the fact that once an Am
erlcan obligation Is converted into a
bill on London ana slips into foreign
financial channels Il passes out OF
the hands OF those who might be in
terested in obtaining return purchas-
es by selling country, and an obliga-
ton that ought TO stimulate demand
for products of the United States is
transferred TO London and exerts an
ingfluence toward purchases from the
| United Kingdom.

BANKING AND CREDIT
IN SOUTH AMERICA 4


WASHINGTON, Aug S.-Although
American trade Is well established in
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru and
Is growing despite the lack OF direct
banking facilities. steamship accom-
modauons, etc. American banks are
imperatively needed In South Ameri-
ca as a dependable resource In the
campaign for greater trade. This is
the conclusion OF Il. n. Hurley. pres
ident OF the Illinois Manufacturers
Association, who has submitted TO
the department OF commerce a report
on banking and credit in South Am
erica. based upon n careful investi-
cation OF that field. Mr.. Hurley was
assigned TO this special task by Sec
retary Redfield, who Is making a
strenuous effort TO Increase the sale
OF American products in South Am
erica and was instrumental In Sc
curing an appropriation from con-
gress for this particular purpose.
Foreign and native banking houses
reasonably well accommodate the or
dlnary routine OF American trade, Mr..
Hurley states. but they naturally
withhold the full measure OF interest
and solicitous support accorded TO en-
terpr!Ses OF their own nationality.
Moreover. many valuable collateral
benefits arising from the financing OF
oversee trade are lost through Amer
lean reliance upon London banking
mediation while the compulsory use
Of European materials in many South
American enterprises financed in Eu-
rope is steadily restricting the poten-
tial market for American goods. Am

also lack the support given by foreign
