 It is altogether probable that the caa. ital stock, which will be subscribed by bankers of twelve southern states, will be doubled within a few months
 The directors selected at the meeting Saturday will meet at an early date to elect officers and uotline programme Or ganization plans will m rushed in order that the work of assisting the producers of the south will be well under way by January |
 By that time" declared Dr. Saunders in discussing plans for the organization today the cotton, sugar, rice and lum- Der people are expected to have at their call the facilities of an institution suf- ficiently strong to finance a large amount of exports and to begin to extend cred it's to foreign countries on commodities rsaised in this section
 This means more. however than the amount of credit extenaed. for it repre- sents the beginning of a new era of foreign financing through the commune ties directly interested in the sale of commodities"
