with regard to the Edge bill and

regarding the financing Of foreign
trade, the committee on commerce.
and marine OF the American Bankers
Association yesterday sent out to all

letter asking for an expression OF
opinion regarding such bills.
This communication is sent you In

for the benefit and guidance Of the

OF the American Bankers Assoeia-

not only on the Edge bilL but also
on legislation dealing in general with
foreign trade" the letter states
THE committee distinctly Is not in
dorsing any measure, nor would Il
suggest that any measure now before
Congress is perfect, or perhaps could
not wisely be put aside in favor Of
some new measure. The Edge bill
is instanced for your careful con-
sideration, because it is a measure
on which interest is convergtng in
Washington. and comment on 1t
should be to a good purpose"
