Direct contact should be estab-
 lished with the American conner
 daI attaches and trade commission
 CTS maintained by that bureau in,
 foreign countries Arrangements
 should be made to obtain regularly
 the foreign trade publications of the
 National Foreign Trade Council, the
 American Manufacturers Export
 Association and of the large banks i
 which specialize in foreign trade.
 Subscriptions should be made to the
 leading export trade journals. For
 efgn visitors to this country should ]. be encouraged to visit the local manufacturing plants. Another ef- fective method of obtaining 1nfor-
 nation direct from foreign sources is for the local Chamber of Com merce to arrange for the exchange of membership and services with American Chambers of Commerce in foreign countries.
 The interior banker has an impor- tant part to play in the develop
 ment of our import trade, as well as
 that of our exports. Our depend ence upon other countries for food stuffs and raw materials grows con- stantly greater with the increase In our population and the productive capacity of our industries.
 In order to provide a sustained | market for our surplus manufac- lures we must have a regular eea increasing supply of many com modities which are not produced in the United States, or which are pro
 duced in such small volume as to be
 entirely inadequate for our require ments
 The interior importer must have l modities in distant lands. He may
 desire help in locating sources of 1 raw materials, advice regarding re- liable foreign exporters and market conditions and on how he may es- | tablish the necessary import credits | through his local and international | bankers.
 | If our foreign trade Is not to sui
 fer through inadequate financing, we must give thought to some form of long term credits in order to sup plement the operations of the inter ] national banks and to make liquid | the frozen long-term credits in for eign markets To meet this situa- | ton the Edge law was recently passed. This law gives us, for the l first time in our history, financial I organizations for the express pur- | pose of assisting foreign trade through long term investments. The l original Federal Reserve Act au- thorized the establishment of | branches by our national banks in foreign countries. The Edge law | goes one step further in providing for the information of these foreign | investment banks under Federal charter. A most important provi-
 sion of the Edge law is that which
 permits corporations formed under its provisions to issue their own notes and debentures for sale to 1n- vestors.
 | The interior banker, therefore. plays a very definite part in edu- eating his community in the rela- 1 ton which our overseas commerce
 bears to domestic prosperity and in
 pointing out the desirabilfty of such
 securities in order to make possible
 a continuous and increasing flow of l foreign orders.

foreign trade is evident from the fact that a large proportion of the manufactured goods exported from towns with a population of fifty thousand or less. There are two thousand one hundred and forty nine towns of this class. As to our import trade, it is only necessary to point out, for instance, that Akron, O., with a population of one hun dred and fifty thousand, buys about one-fourth of all the crude rubber in the world. In four hundred and sixteen cities of ten thousand to twenty-five thousand, in 1914, the total value of manufa ctured prod ucts was S3,261, ,395, 900.
 Cities of fifty thousand and less make up a large proportion of our manufacturing area and present all most unlimited possibilities from the foreign trade standpoint. There are one hundred and thirty-three l towns of this class in Indiana and | the same number in MaSSachusettS. | The most cursory examination of the manufacturing facilities of | these hundreds of small towns re- veals their possibilities from a for eign trade point of view.
 | And the manufacturers in those
 towns are no longer groping in the | dark in regard to foreign affairs.
 Practically all of them are mem
 bers of powerful trade associations.
 They journey in large numbers from the small interior towns to New
 York or San Francisco to attend
 foreign trade conventions, and they
 are diligent readers of foreign
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-09-10

trade publications. But Tn far too many cases when they go back home they do not find in their own town the facilities for obtaining the information for transacting their foreign business. Export shipments are made constantly from all these small towns. Imports of raw ma terials needed in our industries are constantly flowing from the sea board to the interior. All these transactions involve the services of banks. The interior bank may in terpoSe itself as a useful link in the system of overseas trade.
 It is obvious that the interior bank cannot set up elaborate ma chinery and an expensive personnel equipped to answer specific in- quiries regarding foreign trade. The international bank has, how ever, built up a worldwide network of branches, affiliations and special correspondents, backed up by staffs of experts in the metropolis, which is freely offered to the interior banker in order to assist him to de- velop the foreign trade of his com munity.
 To illustrate concretely just what this means, let us examine the fa- cilities which are offered to the in- terior bank by the large interna- tfonal financial institutions. First | of all, they have direct banking con- i nections with Great Britain and Continental Europe, the Near East, Latin-America, South Africa and Australasia, with China, Japan, British India, the Dutch East In l dies and with the Straits Settle

 Vice President Guaranty Trust Com
 pany of New York.
 A s a result of the war, this : N country has been forced in-
 to many new industrial
 and financial activities that reach out into every foreign coun- try, activities which affect the wei nearly as much as they do those of the larger cities. Manufactur- CTS in small towns throughout the United States have become inter ested in the possibilities of for eign markets, and they naturally are looking to their local banks to advise them regarding their foreign trade problems both actual and po- tential. We believe that the time has come for the interior bank to realize that the biggest thing it has to sell is service, and that one of its greatest opportunities is to aid in the development of American foreign trade.
 We have learned by recent ex- perience that the factories of Amer lea are today so huge and their out put at full capacity is so great that the domestic market cannot regu- barly absorb it. It is only by constant flow of overseas trade that we can run full time all the time. To do less than that means homes In American in which the breadwin- uer is out of work.
 Increased orders from foreign countries tend to change the sea- sona1 demands to year round de mands. The manufacturer who has a market for his goods in South America, for instance, possesses a great advantage, because the sea- sons there are exactly the reverse of our own. And so, because the markets of all the world are great CT and steadier than the markets of any one country, the American man. ufacturer and merchant must culti. vate the foreign field, and the in. terior bank, in cooperation with the International bank. must be pre- pared to offer facilities necessary for the prompt and efficient han ding of foreign trade transactions.

Fairfield

A representative gathering of wom- en attended a meeting for the pur- pose of formation of a Democratic club of Democratic women voters Miss Julia Conway of Southport, pre- sided and Mrs. Joseph Burlinson of Fairheld acted as secretary. The meeting last night at the town hall was simply preliminary to the organ ization meeting which will be held at the same place next Friday evening al o'clock. While last nights meeting was only in the nature of preIiminar- ies the caucus of the Democrats, call ed for Monday evening, was the cen tra1 topic of discussion and if the in terest as shown at last nights gath sring was any criterion to the interest to be shown by the women folks the voters of Fairfield are assured of an entire change in the old methods as pursued in the past. By endorsing of two candidates for a choice as mem Der of the school committee the women placed before the gathering Mrs. Buckley of Greenfield Hill and Mrs. Joseph Burlinson of Fairfield. A thorough canvas is to be made dur ing the remainder of the time be- | supporters for either of these two ladies. As sentiment among the men voters of the town is favorable for a woman as their Dem represe ntative on this important board
 
 | capable of holding the position, 1t Is this beginning that will bring the new voters into their own. Considera ble discussion was given to other of fees, particularly candidate For Democratic registrar of voters, The women seem to think the office of registrar of voters should be filled by | a young man and then intend to try | to bring about this end. A large l number of names are on the member rnJ1 af fI4 Ta, lie Aiy,f, with many more still to be added. A | large caucus is sure to be held next Monday night and Fairfield is sure to benefit by interest as shown at this time.

As for the slate for selectmen on both tickets. nothing as yet is exactly certain as to who will get the endorsement at both caucuses. Frederick Burr. on the Repu blican ticket and William Lon don on the Democratic ticket are the ones who at this time seem to have the winning hand.
