BIC NEW BANK
FDR FINANCING
EXPORTS, IS Plan
800, 600, 900 Institution For
This Purpose is Expected to
Grow Out of Chicago Meet
ing This Week.

New York, Dec. Z Omitted Press).-
A 800, 900, 600 banking institution to
finance export Of Americas surplus
raw materials and finished products
estimated to total around $1,000, OOO,-
900 is expected to grow out of con-
%ferences Friday and Saturday in Chi
cago between representative business
men and bankers from all sections of
the country. President Charles H.
Sabin of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany who will attend the Chicago
meeting points out the plan for an
export financing corporation is made
possible under the Edge law.
Cannot Delay Export Trade.
that the nations export trade must
be re-established without great de-
lay is the most unanimous belief
pressed by leading economists. That
the banks Of the country have gone
as far as they can is the declaration
of leading bankers and financiers.
Some idea of the need of a foreign
.outlet for surplus materials pro-
duced during and since the war NAV
be shown in the fact that authorities
estimate the existing surplus Of COM
modities over and above the domestic
demands as 10000 900 bales Of cotton,
200, 600, 900 bushels Of grain, $3.50, 000,-
900 in packing house products and
$3.50, 100000 in sem~i-finished raw ma
%terials and finished products. This,
IL not relieved, naturally would react
u~nfavorably both on industries and
the farmer.
Foreign Countries Can't Pay.
The condition Of foreign countries,
while improving, Ia not reached the
stage where liquid capital is avail
able to meet prompt or even short
time credit payments on shipment of
American goods to Europe. During
the recent financial conference in
Brussels, it developed, according to
President M. Stracosh of the finan-
ctal commission of the League of Ma
tons, that II Of the ~ European ma
lions represented We're confronted
with the im~possibility Of balancing
their budgets.
Unable, therefore to pay for goods
shipped from the United States, for
eign countries at the same time are
in need of these goods; in many in
stances vitality wanting raw materials
for construction.
Would Seek Subscriptions.
The great institution conceived
would call upon banks, manUfactur-
ers, farmers, exporters and individu-
ais from every section Of the coun-
try for subscriptions totaling $780,
100000 this to comprise the capital
stock of the corporation. Each fed
eral reserve district would subscribe
an amount proportionate to it's re-
sources, provision for which is en-
bodied in the Edge law. Its board of
directors would be chosen as nearly
as possible according TO federal re-
serve districts. 1t would operate with
a sense of national responsibility
under the guidance of it's directorate
of experts and would be checked and
supervised by the highest federal
banking board in the land.
1t is the conviction of many Of the
leading bankers, in fact sponsored by
the American Banking association,
that such a corporation is necessary
and if established will restore Amer
ica's grip on the trade markets of the
world.

Mr.. White believes this reaction

Unless the farmer gets relief, Mr..

to show itself in the 1922 election.

Bux- ton, chairman of the New York coun- ty committee 0 fthe Legion, said to- day in commenting upon the Central Federation Unions adoption of a resolution asking it's members to re- sign from the Legion.
 The action of the labor body, he said, was probably due to the &C., tivities of Legion members as indi- viduals and the action of certain posts outside New York city in keep ing transportation lines open during the railroad strike.
