This bureau. the President said has

BANKS At LAST AHLE.
TO ASSIST COMMERCE.
one of the most Interesting circum-
stances OF our business history is this:
ihe banking laws of the United States
mean the Federal banking laws-did
not put the national banks in :, posi-
ton 10 do foreign exchange under IA
vorablc conditions. and 1t was ACTUALLY
true that private banks. and some time
branch banks drawn out OF other coun-
tries. notably out Of Canada. were
established at our chief ports to do
what American bankers ought to have
done. Not until the recent lcc!s
eral reserve act were the Federal banks
of this country given the proper equip
ment through which they would assist
american commerce. British banks
had been serving British merchants all
over the world German banks had
been serving German merchants all
over the world. and no national bank
OF the United States had been serving
American merchants anywhere in the
world. except in the United States
All that is past. and the scene has
been changed by the events Of the last
tISo years, almost suddenly, and with
a completeness that almost daun;s the
planning mind. Not only when this
war is over, but now, America has her
place in the world, and must take her
place In the world OF finance and COM
mcrcc upon n scale that She never
dreamed Of before.
