Dear Sir
From time TO time OF late L have

the country as we'll to feel that large

Likewise the states Of Nevada. Arizona,

frankly Acknowledges It's great econ

assistance To the railroads already but
the motor truck will daily have TO han

Has the small capacity truck held
this intercity and suburban field against
the economies of the large capacity

than the old type of 15-ton box car and
the 6c-ton engine has held out against
the 50-ton car with It's accompanying
15O-ton locomotive.
The inexorable law or commercial

ton In industry. We are approach
Ing a time when such non-consunp-
ton Of American goods in foreign
countries will have to be reckoned
with. Already our exports ara
falling off and cancellations Of con-
tracts are reported from many
parts Of the world.
Americas great task is TO assist
other nations to a position where
they can resume production and
distribution OF the products with
which in other days they paid for
imports from this country. We
have the food and raw materials
and machinery which the remain
der OF the world, and particularly
Europe, urgently needs. And we
have also the foundation for such
an extension OF credit as will make
the purchase Of these requirements
possible.
Under the Federal Act known as
the Edge law It is possible to or.
ganize corporations, supervised by
the Federal Reserve Board. by
means OF which long-term invest
ment funds Of American capital can
be converted into funds to finance
immediate exports from the United
States A natural question arises
as to why the ordinary commercial
hanks do not arrange for such vital
financing. II must be pointed out
that no commercial bank can afford
to tie up the money OF its deposit
tors. Is they are essentially demand
deposits and must be held liquid.
When used TO finance foreign trade
the funds OF the commercial hank
must be employed In such a way
that II is reasonably certain that the
transactions which they cover will
be self-liquidated within three or
four months. II is obviously not ordl-
nary commercial banking but trua
investment that Is involved when
periods longer than a few months
are In question.
But II anything is 10 be dons
