advantage of our business men and
producers. The full benefit of the
forthcoming financial conference can
not be realized until the necessary
ocean transportation facilities are pro-
vided, but the conference will do vast
amount OF good anyway, and will
doubtless demonstrate more clearly
than ever the necessity for the crea-
ton Of a merchant marine under the
American flag.
Extension Of Business
"One OF the things which the Fed
eral Reserve act seeks tc accom-. plisl,
Is the extension OF American barking
facilities to foreign countries. Not
only are national banks authorized
by that action to open branches in
other countries. but the Federal Re-
serve banks themselves arc permitted
to establish agencies outside Of the
VI tied States. At the coming finan-
ciel conference these features will he
discussed. and an effort will be made
to discover the best means % on
ahltng our bankers to extend their
operations in Central and Souti,
American countries.
| 1T Is significant fact that our ex-
ports to South America reached the
lowest point for the year 1914 in the
months Of October, November and
Dece nlber, when they were reduced
to less than one-half of those for the
same months of 1913. This decuns
Is In great measure due to the acarci
~ of ships and the exorbitant rates al
freight now being charged. This hap.
pened In the face OF an increased de-
| mand for coal and other American
products from Central and South
American countries. 1t Is OF the ut.
most importance. therefore; that tho
effort of the government to assis. hav.
ing been defeated, those who opposed
1t should act at once and upon cr
adequate scale to provide shippins
facilities to South America. in order
that the present restrictions upon oul
trade may be removed and full op.
portunity given for It's expansion. The
financial conference ought to have a
stimulating effect upon the situation
In every direction.
