The establishment OF American banks
in South America has long been urged
by those who have studied the neces-
sites of the trade situation.
One reason why American banks have
not heretofore been established in South
America was the fact that American
capitalists, and especially those who
controlled banking capital. knew so lit
tie OF the field.
American investments elatively were
so small that there was not much In
ducement to finance them. and the ne
cessity OF providing exchange on New
York was not felt TO be one that called
for philanthropic banking Occasion

export business, finding its own facilities
sufficient, did not take into account
those Of smaller calibre, and conse-
quently rather discouraged the bank
proposition. This corporation, however,

| and has sought TO cooperate IN the re-
cent move for establishing American
banks.
Another reason for the failure TO So
cure American banking capital was the
| relatively small number OF Americans
engaged IN trade In any one country.

used to consist OF 10 individuals in a
population OF nearly 100000 inhabi
