NEED BANKS IN
SOUTH AMERICA
Vice Chairman of Federal Trade
Commission Gives Views on
Foreign Trade.

ROCKFORD, Ill, March 20.-The
necessity for the establishing OF
branch banks in South America to
facilitate trade from this country
was emphasized tonight by Edward
N. Hurley, vice chairman of the fed
eral trade commission, in an address
before the Rockford Manufacturers
and Shippers association.
ut is now possible for national
banks to establish branch banks
abroad and they are also now per-
mitted to accept foreign DARTS based
on bills of lading," said Mr.. Hurley.
But this is not enough; American
bankers should lead, not follow, the
procession into foreign lands. 1t
will be difficult for American capi-
tai to escape the conclusion that the
line between domestic business and
foreign business is becoming fainter
and fainter and that mere geographic
cal boundaries can no longer cOnfine
the healthful cooperation Of indus
try and capital. which has made
this country great. Why not let
investors, bankers, manufacturers,
railroad and steamship men steadily
pull together for the systematic ex-
pansion Of our foreign trader"

Dr. Earnheart stated that for an
other reason he was glad to postpone

a man experienced in scientific farm
ing, is also sick, and has stated that
he would be unable to come to Tulsa
