GREAT UNION OF
FRENCH And US.
BANKS FORMED

NEW YORK, May 1.-(By Associ-
ated Press. IAN alliance of French
and American banking interest, rep
resenting combined resources of over
one and a quarter billion dollars or
gained to promote trade between
France and the United States, was
disclosed today Though the filing at
Albany, N Y, late yesterday of the
incorporation papers for the French
American Banking Corporation. Half
the stock of the corporation will be
held by American interests and half
by French. The plan of operation, it is
declared by the organizers of the new
corporation, means that hereafter Am
erican business men viii be able to
avail themselves of banking facilities
in France as advantageous as French
men themselves enjoy.
The French participant in the ALI
ance is the camptoir National d'Es-
compile de Paris, which takes half
the capital stock. The American inter
ests are the First National Bank of
Boston and the National Bank of Com
merce in New York, each holding one
fourth of the capital stock of the new
corporation.
The French American Banking cor
poration is capitalized at 100000,
with a surplus of 100000, all paid
in The incorporators are Jaames S.
Alexander, president of the National
Bank of Commerce in New York; Dan
iel G. Wing, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Boston; Maurice Syl
vester, American representative of the
Compton National d'Escompte de Par
is, and others. Mr.. Sylvester will be
president of the company. There will
be twelve directors, six to represent
the American group and six the
French group.
worlds chief source of capital for
international commerce necessitates
the development of the foreign bust
ness of this country's banks to meet
| unprecedented conditions" said Presi-
dent James S. Alexander of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce in New
| York discussing the new corporation.
This alliance of great French and
| American banks represents, we be
| lieve, an efficient instrumentality to
| facilitate and foster the trade rela
ton between the United States and
| France which the new era demands
| We consider it a most practical way
to realize the necessary cooperation
between French and American bank
ing, and to give Americas business
men the benefit of the experience
| and connections of native French
| bankers that could be given them in
IL other way
THE French American Banking
corporation is an organization which
! has behind it the goodwill of three

hold it's stock. 1t is primarily COM
mercial bank, as are all institutions
which it represents. 1t is expected
| that it will engage in the acceptance
business and in general assist in fin
ancing trade between the United
States and France, including the
| French colonies in all parts of the
| world"

had now altered for the worse. 4
great portion Of the farmers of the
South had never recovered from the
staggering economic disaster Of the
defeat in the Civil War. They we're
no longer influential in the govern
mcnt of the nation and could not de-
fend their interests. They were eco
nomically dependent; could not f.
nance their own operations, and had
to sell their cotton on a market fixed
by interests outside Of the South.
There was no prospect OF return to
the freedom of the antcbcllum days,
because money could be borrowed only
on cotton, and then only to be repaid
promptly when the cotton should be
harvested no matter wat the statc
of the market. The long continued
effort to bring about diversified farm
ing, both for the sake of saving the
soil, and also in order to free the
South from dependence on the West

citation will soon have in operation the
necessary machinery whereby the
farmer can finance other sorts of
farming than cotton farming. A pro-
