washington government is much more
concerned about that phase of the Mex
problem than the legal questions
involved in property controversies.

going to be retroactive and affect titles

Bill Provides Plans for
Fostering Foreign Commerce

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Edge
bill, designed to foster foreign com
merce by providing a plan for exten-
sion of credits through the assistance
of national banks and banking insti-
tutions in the country, will be ap-
proved this week by the house bank
ing and currency committee and the
measure brought into the house for
passage.
The bill has passed the senate, but
the house has adopted a number of
amendments restricting and clearly
defining the character of business
that may be done by the national
banks under the extension of aCtivi-
ties permitted them.
The measure, as explained today
by George l.. Harrison, counsel for
the federal reserve board, authorizes
the federal Incorporation of two
characters of institutions-one a
banking institution that would do a
regular commercial banking business
abroad in connection with foreign
business and the other a general in
vestment business.
