H-AMERICAN BANK.

The formation of a substantial
Finnish-Amercan bank in New York
city to facilitate trade between Fin
land and America and to better the
, citations and increase understanding
,etween citizens of the two countries,
Is probable in the near future. A
conference of prominent Finnish
merchants of the United States and
Finland was held in Chicago last
week. A committee was appointed
to decide the advisability of the i'm
mediate establishment Of baak in
New York which would be capital
lied at about million dollars. Such
a. bank has been organized in Lon
don, and all business by Finnish cap
-italists is: being handled through
England.

ference and the wide representation

Pudas, of Redlock Montana; ]. H.
Jasberg of Hancock Michigan; Axel
Rauanheimo representative of the
Finnish government in New York
city, and O.. Leander, the assistant
manager of a chain of banks in
Finland.
At present there are many mer-
chants in Finland who buy American
goods in shiploads and large con-
signments. All this business has to
be handled through England and
London banks, although the Nor
wegians, Swedes and other coun-
tries have direct banking con-
nections in this country. In ad-
dition to the handling of commerce
such bank in this country would
handle much of the money exchanged
between Finnish people here and in
the home country, which amounts to
a huge sum each year.
The only drawback to the for
nation of such a bank now is the
reluctance of Finnish business men
to invest in the stock of the bank
while the value of the American dol
lar is so high in Finnish money. Be-
fore the war six Finnish marks would
buy an American dollar Today it
takes 22 marks to buy a dollar. In
spite of this condition it is assured
that there would be no difficulty in
forming a million dollar establish
ment which would serve to increase
Finnish-American business through
direct connections and would bring
the two countries closer together.
