WASHINGTON, Jan. b.-How the
United States through the accident OF
a world war has moved from its place
as a commercially provi nciul and sec
ondary power OF the rank Of first i'm
portance anon gthe great nations Of
the world--economica'ly, industrial
ly and financially i'l told in detail

European conflict. slys the report, it
can hope to hold III the commercial
struggle that will he resumed at the
conclusion Of peace only by the most
fs1--sighted commercial preparedness.
Two grave problems face devel-
opn,ent and maintenance of the for

be that of finance an the second that
OF training men for the work.
The financing of our foreign
trade, 1T says, "amd in fact by far
the larger part Of the financing Of
the worlds trade, has hitherto been
done through London. During the
last hundred years London has been

tige merely, but because the nations
of the world needed an international
clearing house and London supplied
that. At the same time London be-
came the clearing house chiefly be-
cause it supplied a large part of the
capital needed for public improve
ments and large private enterprises.
Debtor Nation Heretofore.
"The United States never has TAX
en- large part In fiancing foreign
trade because OF the comparatively
small part OF that business carried on
here and because also Of the unfa-
miliarity Of many OF our bankers with
the methods of international finance.
Nor has the United States taken any
large part in supplying capital to 9TH
er countries. On account of more
profitable investments at home we
have cohsen to invest here rather
than abroad. This also has been
true because of our position as a
debtor nation. but probably also to
considerable degree because OF a
mental debtor-nation attitude on the
part of our tinanciers.
ION account OF the war this sltua-
ton is rapidly changing. The vol
ume of foreign business done through
New York is continuously increasing
and New York banks are rapidly pro-
viding facilities for Americans who
wish to export. Dollar exchange, a
thing practically unheard of prior to
this year, is assuming constantly en-

Reserve Act Helps.
Two provisions In the federal re-
serve act, the report says, have been
OF material assistance 10 the foreign
trade. One is the introduction Of the
use of acceptance and the other per-
mission granted to national banks to
establish foreign branches.
"In thus establishing branch banks
in foreign countries" the report con-
tinues, I'VE are following the lead Of
England. Germany and other Euro
pean countries. which have used their
banks as trade outposts. Foreign ex-
porters have been able. because they
had their own banking institutions on
the ground TO extend credit to their
customers, when such credits were
deserved. Our exporters have been
hampred by the lack Of these facili-
ties. More important than this, doc
uments containing often the most
confidential facts Of our merchants
and manufacturers have been open
to the scrutiny Of our competitor
at has been a rare sight to see
letters of credit or bills OF exchange
drawn in dollars. Usually the Ameri-
can merchant has done his business
in pounds sterling, often paying the
cost Of conversion. The Inauguration
of branch banks obviates the neces-
sity of this practice and makes it
possible to do business in dollars.
with an increasing volume OF dollar
exchange and with an increasing
number of branch banks and Amerl-
can banking institution, dollar ex-
change will become more stable. AT
present dollar exchange Is preferred
in the money markets Of the world.
Whether it will be after the festora-
ton OF normal'ronditions In Europe
remains to be seen.
