u. S. and Canada
To Control Sale
OF New Securities
Agreement Will Make Cap
ital Issues Committees In
huence Cross Boundary

WASHINGTON, June ga recip-
rocal agreement will be entered into
next week by the capital issues and
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, for joint control Of the
sale of public or private securities of
one country in the other.
The first transaction under the agree
ment, now tentative, is the approval by
the capital issues committee Of the
American government of $5,o00,OO0 81
per cent equipment trust certificates of
the imperial rolling stock company of
Canada, to be floated. mainly in this
country, to provide funds for buying
ten locomotives and 2.4oo freight cars
for the Canadian Northern Railway.
The issue previously had been sane
toned by Sir Thomas White, who ex-
ercises the same control over the cap
ital issues in Canada that the capital
issues committee does here.
Will Control Offerings
"Under the proposed agreement" it
was announced, "both agencies will
undertake to obtain assurances from
the investment houses and brokers' in
their respective jurisdictions that no
securities will be sold or offered for
sale across the boundary without first
obtaining the approval Of the control
ling authority in the jurisdiction where
the securities are to be Sold"
One reason prompting the capital is
sues committee to approve Canadian
securities at this time is the beneficial
effect on the Canadian exchange rates.
The capital issues committee to-day
announced the appointment of Dudley
Gates, of San Francisco, as secretary
and chief examiner, and the creation
under him of new bureau Of examin-
ers to digest applications for approval
of proposed securities issues. This
bureau will assist in gathering infor-
nation on these issues from local CAPT
Reserve district, and from the fuel,
food and railroad administrations, War
Industries Board, and other govern
ment departments which can throw
light on the war necessity of the prof.
ect covered by proposed securities is
sues.

Frederic A. Delano, who has re-
signed as member of the Federal Re-
serve Board to enter the army, also has
given up his membership on the capi-
tai issues committee. an announcement

American Retailer
For Chile Urged
Study of Foreign Wants Will En-
able Retention of War
business

The establishment of an American
house in Chile specializing in the re-
tail business would do more toward in
creasing the American share of busi
ness than any other single factor, ac-
cbrding to a report on textile markets
in Chile issued yesterday by the Bu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce.
There are American importers in Chile,
but there is no retail American con-
cern.
though the United States normally
holds third place in the total imports
into Chile as we'll as in the exports
from that country, it's position is sew
enth in the imports Of textiles, the
principal sources of supply being Eng
land, Germany, India, France, Italy,
Belgium and the United States. As a
result of the war, American goods are
Imported in larger quantities and are
we'll liked. Many articles are now
purchased from the United States that
formerly never found their way to the
country, and merchants are beginning
to realize that the stories of the su-
periority of European fabrics are to
be taken with liberal discount. II
proper attention is given to the re-
quirements of the markets, says the
report, there is every reason to think
that large share of the increase may
be retained when the war is over.
