Los Angeles. Oct. 6-The need of organizing a Foreign Trade Financ- ing Corporation was stressed in report made to the American Bank Hugh, president of the Discount Corporation of New York and chair man of the Commerce Marine Com mission of the Bankers Association
 He said the commission had de- veloped a plan for the formation of a foreign trade financing corporation under the Edge Law amendment of the Federal Reserve Act.
 ''Various state bankers associa- tions have pledged their support to the movement and have appointed committees to cooperate with the or ganization committee of the corpora ! tion," said MT. McHugh. He added that, approval given by manufactur- ing and commercial bodies through out the country has been noteworthy"
 He added: Ut was found that in 29 states the banking laws did not Hernlit state-charte banking inSti- tutions to invest in stock of corpora tions such as the Foreign Trade Financing Corporation. In the ma , jority of these states enabling legisla- tion now has been passed or legal technicalities have been overcome"
 The Federal Reserve Act had been amended so that payments on sub scriptions to the capital stock of Edge Law corporations could be made at , the caIn of the boards of directors of such corporations, with the consent of the Federal Reserve Board. This legislation, said MT. McHugh, gave added assurance that funds would be called only as required and as they could be safely and profitably em- ployed in sustaining foreign trade.
 MT. McHugh declared that the re- establishment of the War Finance Corporation with authority to extend

HATRED FOR U. 5.
 LEADS ALIENS
 TO ROB BANKS

-Chugwater, Wyo., Oct. 6-The hatred of two German sympathizers for America is believed by county of ficials here to have been the motive of unsuccessful attempt to rob the Chugwater State Bank by Adolph Finder and Herman J. KuSel-
 The two men drew up to the bank in an automobile during the noon hour, rushed to the bank counter and ordered Cashier Robert Rollins to throw up his hands. Ducking beneath the counter Rollins grabbed a gun iously wounding Kusel.
 Finder escaped but was captured two days later in Bushnell, Neb-, no
 miles from the scene of the holdup,
 after being trailed by a posse of deputy sheriffs-
 In a confession to authorities here Finder declared that the attempt to | declaration of war" that Kusel and himself had made upon the United States.
 According to the alleged confession kusel, who was German born and was | in this country when the world war broke out, conspired with Pfnder. a
 Swiss by birth, to come to America
 might aid Germany in the war ! Pfnder was prevented, however, from leaving a German dye factory where
 he was employed, and did not reach 1 the United States until a few months ! ago, when he joirAed Kusel in opening i a clothing store in Bushnell, Neb. Their mutual hatred for this coun- l try, according to the confesSon of ] the pair to devise new ways of vent
 ing their fostering spleen, and the
 warped reasoning of fanaticiSm even | tually resulted in an alleged decision
 to combine revenge with profit by
 striking at what they conceived to be
 Americas pocketbook. This, they de- cided, might best be accomplished by 1 the robbery of banks, the pair believ-
 ing that all banks were owned by the Government, according-to their con- | feSSion.
 Kusel was interned at Fort Doug | las, Utah, from March 12, 1918, until ! several months after the signing of | the armistice, according to Federal i officials. He was arrested at Sterling, | Col, where he was conducting a l secondhand store. According to the
 report made to the Department of
 Justice at that time, the arresting
 agents found a large quantity of spit | fire much dynamite and dozens of
 rifles, revolvers and boxes of ammu- nition in the store.

 have been employed by enemy alien
