A typical example Of the develop
ment Of this branch Of banking
service is the Foreign Trade Bureau
of a large trust company, and the
range Of its activities discloses
plainly the character and scope
Of the present demand by the banks
and the public for accurate and up

bureau draws on the valuable
sources Of information available to

Of material from official publica-

WOODBRIDGE, Dec. 24:-Alex

caretaker of the property of DR..
Bryant of Brooklyn at. Avenel was
found dead Thursday by the son of
his employer. An examination
showed that the death was caused
by escaping Illuminating gas. ex-
tinguished, it is believed, by the
strong wind Wednesday night.
Strack had been employed for years
as caretaker of DIR. Bryant's summer
home and at the time of his death
was making some improvements
about the house. DIR. Bryant's son,
who ran down to Avenel Thursday
to look Owe the place, found the

tails about industries and agricul-
tural development in every part of
the world.
Every fortnight, also, q carefully
edited compilation Of specific and
practical foreign trade facts,
chosen from the great volume of
material that has passed under the
eyes of the research assistants of
the bureau, is published in a con-
venient bulletin and distributed to
an extensive mailing list. This
places at the service Of a large
number Of merchants and manufac-
turers the benefit of the careful sur

been made from day to day.

terest In the possibilities OF giving
credit in foreign countries is to be
noted as a result Of the present ex-

many American exporters to create

rect the requirements Of any SIT
uation with vision and resourcefui-
ness.
Such machinery for gathering In.
formation regarding trade condI-
tons Is especially valuable just
now. During recent weeks there
has been a rapid and striking de-
vel0pment Of events in the interna-
tional economic situation and II IL
now possible to estimate somewhat
more clearly than for many months
past the probable course Of the re-
adjustment OF foreign commercial
and financial affairs The London
Reparations Conference between
Germany and the Allies had an un-
expected result and accelerated ma
terially the movement towards a
positive settlement Of the problem
OF the amount OF Germany's war
indemnity. The doubtful status Of
this matter has constituted q de-
pressing influence upon business
resdjustment In every part OF the
world.
Developments N the British coal
strike add another hopeful element
to the world outlook. II has been
proved definitely that the spirit OF
real democracy Is strong enough 10
the Engllsh-speaking peoples TO
protect them against an attack
upon its fundamental principles
There is much In this event and
In the lessons Of the grotesoue nii-
ure Of Russia's attempt at . purely
proletarian domination Of produc-
ton, as well as In the probable
outcome of the many EFFORTS Of Ia
Dor In America to claim an unfair

the social organization. to anord
universal instruction.
The results Of the recent cleo
tons in Italy eem to prove conciu-
sively that constructive ana eco
nomically sound influences are ike
" to dominate affairs In that coun-
try.
In recent figures from France
can be seen the degree OF reseora-
| ton that has already taken place
in the areas devastated during the
war. In 1914 the population OF mes
devastated districts was 4,1U'ov-
At the time Of the armistice y
had fallen to 100000. while today
the former residents have returned
until the total is only 100000 below
the pre-war record. Nine-tenths Of

over was damaged; this II now
four-ffths restored to cultivation
The railroads are now 90h per

bridges are repaired, and 30 per
cent Of the Industrial works are In
operation. Coal mines In the areas
in question had an output OF =
5As.659 metric ions prior to lSl4;
they have already been restored to
an output of 43h per cent OF tne
pre-war level.
The approval by the United
States senate Of an indemnity OF
s25,OoOO00 to Colombia In repara-

territory closes a controversy OF
long duration, and the effect upon
the relations Of the United states

TODAY, there are probably
~ 10000 firms or merchants
or manufacturers In the
- United States that have a
direct interest in our in
ternational trade relations. Fur
thermore, the passage of the Fed
eral Reserve Act, under the terms
of which American banks could es.
tablish branches a.,road, has led to
a vast extension Of our direct for
eign financial interests, and there
are now branches of u banks in
a score Of foreign countries. Our
export trade and our merchant ma
rihe have both grown to great pro-
portions and, today, the current po-
litical and economic conditions in
other countries have a very real
relation to the welfare Of our coun-
try, and innumerable puzzling ques-
tons about trade and finance are
aridng daily to which answers are
sought. 1t is especially important
that every phase Of trade and finan-
