They also have enabled English con-
very valuable government contracts Tor
public works and similar enterprises.
The great British banking institu-
lions Of tho far east are too well known
to require detailed description. The
same may be said of the principal
banks In the British dependencies.
With British banking capital so firm
ly intrenched all over the world. and
with SO many Of the great London
financial institutions doing a world
business, the query naturally occurs
why British statesmen and fnancters
should be looking forward to the es-
Establishment Of a trade bank after the
war. The answer may be found In the
suggestion, about what German b. ks
have been able to do.
Germany also has banks In every part
of the world, though they are far less
numerous than English banks and the
number Of Berlin institutions which back
them are not more than half a dozen;
Tho Deutsche Bank and the Dresdner
Bank arc the leading German financial
institutions which have carried German

so essentially British. it is likely that
if the proposed trade bank with its
government partnership is established
India will be included in the field of
it's operations.
The United States is not especially
interested in the industrial and finan-
cial organization of empire as relates
to India. We never have got much of
a foothold in this British dependency.
But as related to the world at large,
the United States has keen interest
in the government trade bank Of Great
Britain and its possible influence on
world commerce.
The act Of Congress which permitted
the establishment of American branch
banks abroad was a forward step. 1t
was Immediately taken advantage of
by one of our greatest financial in
situations, which established branches
in South America. The benefits to
American trade and industry of this
action was quickly apparent. Now

America.
Yet as compared with the British
banks which already are established
there, the influence of two or three
American financial Institutions hardly
can be expected to be dominating. and
henceforth the possibility of. the. gov
eminent trade bank also must be taken
into account a means of strengthen
ing British commercial influence in
South America, as in other parts Of the
world.
The lesson from the British policy
IS shown in the partnership with the
Anglo-Italian corporation and IL, the
proposed trade bank, is that while
England may be slow she is not so
sleepy as is often stated. 4 century's
growth of world trade. when there was
substantially no competition put her
in very strong position. Now. when
the competition comes. British con-
servatism disappears and radical steps
