der of the board of directors, according
to announcement made yesterday at the
offices Of the bank, 61 Broadway. Mr..
Thayer, who is in New England. is ill
and physicians have ordered him to take
O. complete rest.
Mr.. Thayer has been away from the
bank on account of i'll health since the

resign and would not return TO the bank.
These reports have been set at rest by
the announcement yesterday. Albert IL.

leve Mr. Wiggin of executive RESPONSE

STANDARD OIL BUYS
PIPELINE INTEREST
Indiana Company Gets Half of
Sinclair Subsidiary for
$15,OOO,OOO.

The Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corpo-
ration has sold half interest in the Sin
clair Pipe Line Company to the Stand
ard Oil Company Of Indiana. Announce
ment OF the transaction, which Is under
stood to represent at least S15.000,000,
was made yesterday by Harry +. Sin
clair. president of the Sinclair company.
The transaction does not In any way
involve producing, manufacturing or dis
tributing departments OF either COM
pany nor does it include granting to the
Standard OIL interests representation In
the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corpora
ton, according to Mr.. Sinclair's an
nouncement.
'"The Sinclair Pipe Line" he said,
towns and operates about 2,Soo miles of
main trunk and tributary pipe lines ex-
tending from the oil fields Of North
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, through
Missouri and Illinois to East Chicago,
Ind. This line. representing an invest
ment of more than $30,000,000, has been
supplying the Sinclair reflneries in the
mid id-continent field and in Kansas City
and east Chicago. Almost from the be-
ginning we have also been transporting
crude oil for and delivering 1t to the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana at
Whiting. Ind"
Because of the increase in the ca
pacity of the east Chicago refinery,
Mr.. Sinclair continued, it was found
that in order to continue deliveries to
Standard of Indiana it would be neces-
sary to increase the capacity of the
pipe lines Consequently the Standard
company proposed that that step be
taken and half interest in the line
purchased by that company. BY that
arrangement, he said, the cost OF the
extension would be comparatively small
to each company.
Colonel r. w. Stewart, chairman of
the board and chief executive officer of
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana.
said that substantial portion of his
company's purchases in Kansas and
Oklahoma had been made from Sinclair
subsidiaries and delivered through Sim
clair pipe lines. "Our purchase of a
half interest in the Sinclair Pipe Line
Company" he declared, together with
an increase in the capacity of the COM
pany's lines. will enable US to eliminate
to large extent shipments of crude oil
by rail. This purchase was made on
the same basis as any other addition
to our facilities would be made and does
not involve any other question. 1t does
not involve any additional financing
either in the form Of bonds. notes or
stock"

FOREIGN FINANCING
PLANS ARE PUSHED
McHugh Says Corporation
Will Lend to Rest of World
if Europe Is Backward.

John McHugh. vicc-president of the
Mechanics and Metals National Bank.
and chairman of the committee on or
Ganization OF the Foreign Trade Finauc-
ing Corporation. said in a statement yes
terday that no matter what delinquencies
developed in subscriptions to the new
corporations stock the organizers have
more than sufficient evidence OF a desire
to participate and are determined to go
ahead with the organization, the need
for which in the business structure is
becoming increasingly greater every
day
Declaring that above all else the cor
poration intends to make certain the
safety Of its loans, Mr.. McHugh said
that if canrot do this in certain parts
of Europe it can do 1t in other parts
Of the world. He continued:
"The exporters OF the United States
are now sending out from our seaboard
more than s2O.O0o.0oO of material daily
and they expect to be paid therefor.
This volume of business would cease
Immediately II the exporters were fear
full regarding their payments"
The statement said in part:
Every banker in this city and in the
other large financial communities of
the country has daily requests for loans
for export transactions the security for
which is indisputably good. The only
reasoa these banks cannot extend the
desired credits in the volume desired Is
that the foreign buyers OF necessity
must have longer period for payment
than that imposed by the restrictions of
our present commercial banking prac-
tices.
1T Is to meet Just this situation and
to retain for American exporters the
tremendous advantage of oveEsea mer-
kets-be they in Asia, Australia, South
America. Africa, Europe or sny other
corner of the earth-that the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation appears TO
be a vital necessity in our business
life.
my attention has been called to re-
ports stating that our programme has
been criticised on the ground that we
should wait for the perfection of the
League of Nations. In answer to this
l may simply say that If 1t becomes
necessary. in extending loans to Eu-
rope, to have specific guarantees under
the machinery set up by the league. we,
of course. shall wait for these specific
