pany Of New York.
a S a result Of the war, this
~ country has been forced in
N to many new industrial
and financial activities that
reach out into every foreign coun-
try, activities which affect the well
fare of the smaller communities
nearly as much as they do those
of the larger cities. Manufactur-
ers in small towns throughout the
United States have become Inter-
ested In the possibilities of for.
eign markets, and they naturally
are looking to their local banks to
Advise them regarding their foreign
trade problems both actual and po
tentIal. We believe that the time
has come for the interior bank to
realize that the biggest thing it has
to sell Is service, and that one of
it's greatest opportunities is to aid
In the development of American
foreign trade.
We have learned by recent ex-
perience that the factories of Amer
lea are today so huge and their out.
put at full capacity is so great that
the domestic market cannot regu-
larry absorb 1t. 1t Is only by u
constant flow of overseas trade that
we a run full time all the time.
To do less than that means homes
in American in which the breadwin-
ner Is out Of work.
Increased orders from foreign
countries tend to change the sea-
sonal demands to year round de-
mands. The manufacturer who has
a market for his goods in South
America, for instance. possesses a
great advantage, because the sea-
sons there are exactly the reverse
Of our own. And so, because the
markets of all the world are great
err and steadler than the markets of
any one country, the American man.
ufacturer and merchant must culti-
vate the foreign field, and the in
terror bank, in cooperation with
the international bank, must be pre-
pared to offer facilities necessary
for the prompt and efficient ham
ding of foreign trade transactions.
That the interior bank Is vitality
Interested in the development of

trade publications. But In far too
many cases when they 60 back
home they do not find in their W
town the facilities for obtaining the
| information for t%ransacting 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.
II 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 STATS
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 concretely just what
this means. let us examine the ia
cilities 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
Continental Europe. the Near East.
Latin-America, South Africa and
Australasia, with China, Japan.
British India, the Dutch East In
dies and with the Straits Settle

Direct contact should ne esA@s
ushed with the American CONNER
cial attaches and trade commission
ers maintained by that bureau IN
foreign countries. Arrangements
should be made to obtain regularly
the foreign trade publications OF ne
National Foreign Trade Council tne
American Manufacturer Export
Association and of the large banks
which specialize in foreign trade.
Subscriptions should be made to the
leading export trade journals. For.
eign visitors to this country snouin
be encouraged to visit the local
manufacturing plants. Another ef'
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 impor-
tant part to play in the develop
ment Of our import trade. as well as
that Of our exports. Our depend
ence upon other countries for food.
stuffs and raw materials grows on
stantly greater with the increase In
our population and the produc% .
capacity Of our Industries.
In order to provide a sustained
market for our surplus manufac-
lures we must have a regular ana
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 u require
ments.
The interior importer must have
facilities for buying these COM
modlties In 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 e.
tablish the necessary import credits
through his local and international
bankers.
II our foreign trade Is not to SUI
fer through inadequate financing.
we must give thought to some form
Of long term credits In order to sup
piement the operations Of the iRter-
national banks and to make liquid
the frozen long-term credits in for
eign markets. To meet this situa-
ton the Edge law was recently
passed. This law gives us, for the
first time in our history, financial
organizations for the express pur-
pose Of assisting foreign trade
through long term investments. The
original Federal Reserve Act au-
thorized the establishment ~f
branches by our national bank(
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
it's provisions to issue their own.
notes and debentures for sale to in
vestors.
The interior banker, therefore,
plays a very definite part in edu-
eating his community in the rela-
ton which our overseas commerce
bears to domestic prosperity and in
pointing out the desirability Of such
securities in order to make possible
a continuous and increasing flow Of
foreign orders. L

 SHOWN HERE

The efforts of the board of health, it's division of child hygiene, to lessen the number of deaths among the infant population of Bridgeport, are meeting with success.

Last year, in July, 692 children, 52S of them under one year of age, were brought to the health stations; this July 7S7 children, 554 of them under one year .of age have received attention at the stations.

 Vexing and Grieving

The foul-smelling odor emanating from the towns new sewage disposal plant has caused the residents of the South End to file protest with the town council against the nuisance is suing from the new plant which is located on the shore of the Housa- tonic river near the junction of South Main street and Elm street.
 Walter W. HubbeIl. retired town manager, in one of his last official acts, made a visit of inspe ection to the plant and reported that he would not take as a gift a piece of prop erty in that neighborhood, when an east wind was blowing" He fur ther declared that property values would decline if immediate steps were not taken to force the concern which built the disposal plant to put it in such condition that the odors will be stopped.
 CIavis Allard has just organized a and many residents are taking advan- tage of the scheme to have their gar bage removed at reGular Intervals Residents of the town Are wond dering if the new proposition will prove as proportionately successful as the gar bage collection system in Bridgeport which made a fortune for the men who started it.
 This new system is the first regular method of garbage collection which the town has known.

WYOMING OBJECTS
 TO THE SENDING
 OF U. 5. MARINES

Chenneye, Wyo.. Aug. 1-Governor Robert Carey, of Wyoming, tele- graphed to President Harding late last night protesting against the send ing of marines to Wyoming to eject alleged squatters from the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. The Cover nor's message follows:
 Have seen press reports to effect marines been ordered to remove claimants from lands in Teapot Naval reserve. If such report is true, would respectfully protest against such ac tion. If any person or persons are in illegal possession of lands in this field, they can be removed by legal pressure through the courts. Such procedure as is planned ignores the law of the land and permits and Federal bureau or department may present it's whims by military force rather than by legal action. In this instance no legal at tempt has been made to remove this claimant. It has not been proven that they have violated any law and it is also posted that their claims-are as valid some of those purchased by the Sinclair interests and turned over to the government Finally I would advise you that no state of 1awlessness exists in Wyoming to justif use of armed forces"

 REACHES COURTS

Mystic, Aug. 1-The alleged viola tion of an order issued by Dr. c. F. Congdon, health officer of the town of Stonington, forbidding picnics at Deans Mills, resulted in the arrest yesterday of Albert A. Haley of Old Mystic, who with a party of friends were eating their lunch there, Sun day. The case will come up Saturday and will be a test case to determine such questions of the health officers authority as have been raised since his order went into effect on July !, 1922.
 Prosecuting Attorney Benjamin H. Hewitt upon issuing the process said that while he greatly regretted that Deans Mills had been closed to the public as a picnic ground as it is one of the most beautiful spots in New England. He nevertheless felt the matter was within the power of the much as the grounds in question form Valley Water company.
 Several years ago the Water com pany started to improve the grounds and several thousand dollars were spent in adding to it's natural attrac- ton by putting in stone tables, seats. steps and paths. The public showed its appreciation by coming in large numbers and this year the place was more popular than ever, every Sunday and holiday finding every available table, seat and nook taken.
 The case will be watched with a great deal of interest as the reputation of the place has extended from New York to Providence.

pTOMAINE POISON
 CAUSE PROBE, ON
 BY N. Y. POLICE

New York, Aug. Police and health officials who today probed the cause of the most remarkable case of wholesale poisoning the city has known in many months, believed they had traced the ptomaime which caus- ed 100 eases of acute illness in an office building.
 Employees working in the Town send building on Broadway late yes- terday began col1apsing with the dead ly regularity of a line of troops in No Mans Land. StenographerS and clerks tainted at their tasks. The first ambulance surgeon to arrive sent a call for all available physicians of the neighborhood. Stomach pumps were used and the building became an emergency hospital. Many were taken to hospitals but all were sent home except two whose conditions were found to be serious.
 The source of the ptomaime is not conclusive1y determined, but ques- tioning revealed that all the victims had eaten their lunches at a restaur ant in the building and all seemed to have had hucklebervy pie in com mon.
