j. S. BANKS WILL
EXPAND ABROAD

Exhaustive Investigations OF for
eign banking fields will be conducted
By the Federal Reserve Board to
make ready for foreign expansion Of
American financial institutions.
On the heels OF an announcement
that American hnanciers had awak-
ened to the Possibilities of Pan-Amer-
lean banking ana would be ready for
commercial afteF-the-war demands, It
was learned the North American
banking interests will have the CO.
Board in the work. Wherever North
American banks can expand or ex-
tend their connections, the Federal
Reserve Board will lead the way, 1t
was stated.
The anticipated rapid growth Of
American commerce, especially In the
South American field, has brought the
commercial interests face to face with
the problems Of financing the e1-
pAnsion In trade. As q result, the
Federal Reserve Board has authorized
establishment of branch banks Of
North American financial institutions
In four South American cities IN the
last month.
Broadening Of North American
financial connections will be accom-
plished in three ways. a Federal re-
serve board statement says. Direct
branches will, be authorized where
the need Is evident, foreign banking
corporations. of which the stock Is
owned or controlled by North Ameri-
can hnSnciers, will be created and
foreign discount companies will be
encouraged In this manner, the
handling of all commercial paper will
be facilitated and the liquid char
acter of the assets will be maintained
without harm to the holders of such
paper.

The election of yesterday has
passed and it is hoped that politics
be adjourned" for at least season.
Owing to war conditions there was
not the interest manifested that
would otherwise have been, this be-
ing one of the largest list of offices
TO fill which will be for several years.
There has been very little bitterness
as is the case in usual times (except
probably the larger cities) as it will
now be well for all Of US to turn our
best efforts toward doing something
which may help to win the war.
The speakings by some of the can
didates seemed to draw the attention
of very few voters and the attendance
was invariably light, as general
rule, and rightly SO, there are other
things drawing the attention of the
average man much stronger than is
politics.
There are very few men who have
not a son or relative who is already
in France, or preparing to go, and it
is nothing but right and proper that
tney should be more interested in that
boy than in who is elected to some
particular office.
