trade publications. But In 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.
1t Is obvious that the interior
bank cannot set up elaborate ma
chlnery 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 staifs
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 concreteIy just what
this means. let rs examine the IA
cnlties which are offered TO the IN
terror bank by the large interna-
tional financial institutions. First
OF all. they have direct banking con-
nections with Great Britain and

Direct contact should be estao-

cial attaches and trade commission
ers maintained BY that bureau in
foreign countries. Arrangements
should be made to obtain regularly

American Manufacturers Export
Association and OF the large banks

subscriptions should be made 70 the
leading export trade journals For
eign visitors to this country should
be encouraged to visit the local
manufacturing plants Another eff
fective method OF obtaining infor~
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 inpor-
tant part 10 play il the develop
ment OF our import trade. as well az
that of our exports. Our depend
ence upon other countries for food
stuTs and raw materials grows con
stantly greater with the increase II
our population and the productive
capacity OF our industries.
In order 10 provide a sustained
market for our surplus nanutac-
lures we must have a regular and
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 hsva
facilities for buying these com
modities IA distant lands. He may
desire help in locating sources Of
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.
II our foreign trade Is not to suf-
fer through inadequate financing.
We must give thought 70 some form
OF long term credits 10 order 10 sup
plement the operations OF tina inter
national banks and TO make liquid
the frozen long-term credits IN for
elgn markets. To meet this situa-
ton the Edge law was recently
passed. This law gives US, for the
frst time IN our history, financial
ORGANIZATIONS for the express pur-
pose Of assisting foreign trade
through long term investments The
original Federal Reserve Act Ru-
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 70 issue their own
notes and debentures for sale to in
vestors.
The interior banker, therefore.
plays s very definite part In edu-
eating his community in the reIa-
ton which our overseas commerce
bears 70 domestic prosperity and In

German Wine Drinkers are Worried

Mayence, Germany, Nov. 10
Hundreds Of foreigners, chiefly
Frenchman, Belgians and Holland
ers, taking advantage Of the present
low value Of the German mark,
have almost bought up the entire
German wine output Of 1921.
The ruthless raids by foreign
buyers, whom no fancy prices seem
to deter, are source Of bitter Ia
mentation on the part Of domestic
consumers. who foresee that but
little Of the precious liquor vii!
be left for their own enjoyment.
German officials have been seek
ing means to prevent Germans
from being deprived of this years
excellent wine and from having to
purchase inferior vintages Of other
years at higher prices. AS last
effort to retain the remains Of the
1921 crop, an agitation has been
started 10 force foreigners to pay
a higher price for the wine than
the Germans.

Peking, Sept. % By MaiD.-
Hundreds of Southern. OF. Szechu-

who have been visiting the Ichans

the decapitating are not the sol
diers Of Wu Pei-fu, but the orig
inal garrison Of Ichang which has
looted the city three times during
the last four months. The bodies
Of their victims are invariably strip
ped sof their clothing and then
thrown into the YangtZe together
with their heads.
These atrocities We're brought 10
General WI Pei-fus attention on
his arrival at Ichang owing TO the
fact that some Of the original gar
rison one day mistook Chinese
collector for the Standard Oil com
panv for n Southern soldier ana
cut off his head in the usual man
ner. They did not find out thef
mistake until they went through
their victims clothing IN search OF
loot and found instead documents
proving his identity.

Plans For New
Bridges
Preliminary Figures From
Survey Show What Will Be
Necessary

Columbia, Nov. 2G-State high
way authorities have compiled some
preliminary figures from the eco
nom;c survey now beiEg made by
officials of the department and the
bureau Of public roads and yestcr-
day announced that TO completely
bridge all the important streams
of the state where roads in the
state system should cross the
rivers it would take SO bridges,
exclusive Of those now provided for
or old ones that would be sufficient
for the roads
The preliminary estimated cost
of these So brides is around 50, 800
600, Charles II. Moorefeld. state
highway engineer, said yesterd" :.
These figures are to be incorporated
into the economic survey report
for the legislature.
In determining the number OF
structures that would be necessary
for a complete highway system the
department took each river sepa-
rately and began at it's mouth and
followed the course throughout the
state. placing the bridges where
the roads cross the streams.
According TO the preliminary re-
port the bridges would be divided
as follows: One bridge over the
Little Pee Dee, four over the Great
Pee Dee, four over Lynch's river
two over the Santee, cne over the
Wateree, one over the Catawba, one
over the Congaree, two over the
Broad, two over the Pacolet, two
over the Tiger, two over the Emo
rec, six over the Saluda, four over
the south and north branches Of
the Edisto, one over the Ashepoo
one over the Combahee and two
over the Savannah, South Caroli2a
to provide one-half Of the funo>
for those over the Savannah
These figures do not include any
Of the present structures or those
already provided for. except wher.
the old ones are not in good COZ
dition. The proposed structure over
the Congaree would replace The
present Gervais street bridge, this
structure having already been de.

House Shortage Acute in Germany.

Berlin, Nov. v22.-More than L.
100000 dwellings,, apartments, or
rooms are needed in Germany to
relieve the housing shortage which
has been steadily increasing for the
last six months. especially in the
eastern cities which are crowded
with Russian refugees, says an Off
cial statement Of the housing Office.
In Prussia alone 5S5, 600 rooms
are in demand, an increase of so,
600 in three months and reports
from every large city in the re-
public declare the housing situation
is growing serious with the advance
of the winter. The need in G2 of
the larger cities is described as
urgent.
The government had indicated
its intention OF abandoning the
"rationing" Of rooms within a
short time, but the fact. that build
ing operations, abandoned during
the war, have not caughtup WITH
the demands has necessitated q
continuance of control of dwelling

Morgan has again appealed to the

The postmaster stated that bust

that time by withholding mail
which could be deferred until at

In urging them to do the same
this year. he stated it had been
