By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Vice Preident Guaranty Trust Company of New York. BtWODAY, there are probably

:a,000 firms or rucrrhanr.s

manufacturers In the

Ited States that have a

direct interest In our International trade relations. Furthermore, the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, cmler the terms f which American banks could establish branches ..Lroad, has led to a vast extension of our direct foreign financial Interests, and there are now branches of our banks In core of foreign countries. Our erport trade and our merchant marice have both grown to great proportions and, t6day, the current political and economic conditions In other countries have a very renl relation to the welfare of our country, and Innumerable puzzling questions about trade and finance are arising dally to which answers are Bought It Is especially important that every rhae of trade and financial development abroad should be reported promptly to those responsible for the conduct of the great International banks. In order to solve the problem of .obtaining this Information day by

r!ay, many cf these Institutions Lave found It necessary to organize especially- equipped service branches charged with this task. A typical example of the development of this branch of banking service Is the Foreign Trade Bureau of a largty 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-to-dme service In this field. This bureau draws on the valuable sources of Information available to It In every country, through the branches und banking correspond ents of the trust company itself, whoso direct relations are worldwide In extent. It receives a flood of material from official publications of foreign countries, from our own government and from foreign daily and weekly Journals, magazines, reports of foreign trade organizations, and from American Chambers of Commerce in commercial centers overseas. It maintains close relations with foreign consular officers stationed in New York and with merchants trading In export and Import commodities of every class and with every market. Strangers from foreign countries are constantly visiting the office,

each contributing his quota of srpe- transportation and Innumerable de-l

cific news or point of view about tails about Industries and aE-ricni-

condltlons In his home country. As scores of foreign papers and documents nre currently studied, the research assistants employed lu the bureau must, of course, be able to read eight or ten languages. In the background of this work there is a richly equipped commercial library und there nre also elaborate files packed with records

of every sort that might at any lime contribute to accurate Judgment of condition abroad. These records are classified by country or city, by commodities entering inta foreign trade, by firm names of possible buyers or sellers of nny class of products and In any tnicie center at home or abroad. They Include copies of foreign tariffs and trade and banking laws. Information on commercial and bnnklng practices, credit terms, facts about

tural development In every part of the world. Kvery fortnight, also, a carefully edited compilation of specific and practical foreign trade fncts, chosen from the great volume of material that has passed tinder the eyes of the research assistants of the bureau, Is published In a convenient bulletin and distributed to. sin extensive mailing list. This places at the service of a large number of merchants and manufacturers the benefit of the careful survey of the world conditions that has been made from day to day. Another branch of foreitrn trade service thnt contributes materially to the value of the bank's foreign trade promotion work is the Foreign Credit Division in which Information as to the financial standing of purchasers abroad Is cur-

THE FAR EAT SUGGEST RICH POSSHJILITlS TO AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS "" AND MERCHANTS

rently'compl'efl. An fncrenslrg Interest In' the possibilities of giving credit in foreign countries is to be noted as a result of the pre.ner'. exchange condition and the desire of many American exporters to rrea'e good will through the granting of reasonable amounts of credit to wortiiy foreign customers. The aid and stimulation that such service may give to foreign trade is obvious. It Is but another .V.ep forward In the constantly extending epo- '!- !.-.. ..f -, lit,-

nrgnclzntlor), which is forced upon the larger institutions in tills fleid. In value Is plainly shown by the number of Inquiries which conic from other banks throughout the country to which manufacturers and merchants apply for Information fcbout the factors in export trade with which they are not familiar. It Is possible on a. large sonic naturally only to organizations with connections all over the world, but !t is typical of the readi-t.-ss of n-r g-ent corporations to

meet the reqnlrenienta of any 1t notion with vision and resourcefulness. Such machinery for gatnering Information regarding trade conditions is especially valuable Just now. During recent weeka there has been a rapid and striking development of events In the international economic situation and It Is now possible to estimate somewhat more clearly than for many month rast the probable corrrse of the re adjustment of foreign commercial and financial affairs. The Londoa Reparations Conference betweea Germany and the Allies had an unexpected result and accelerated m terialry the movement towards positive settlement of the probleo of the amount of Germany's war Indemnity. The donbtfal status C this matter has constituted a de-; pressing Influence upon busineaa readjustment In every parj of the world. i Developments !n the British coat strike add another hopeful element; to the world outlook. It has beesi proved definitely that the spirit of! real democracy is strong enough loil the English-speaking peoples t' protect them against an attach upon Its fundamental principles There Is much, in this event an in the lessons of the grotesque failure of Russia's attempt at a purely, proletarian domination of production, as well as In the probabla outcome pt the many efforts of labor in America to claim an unfal. and uneconomic special privilege ! the social organization, to afford! universal instruction. I The results of the recent eTee tlons In Italy seem to prove concloj sively that constructive and nomlcally sound influences are l'ke ly to dominate affairs In that coutry. In recent figures from Franc can be seen the degree of restoration that haa already taken plac In the areas devastated during th war. In 1914 the population of thesa devastated districts, was 4.700.000. At the time of the armistle It had fallen to 1,900,000, while today the former residents have returned until the total is only 600,000 belovr the pre-war record. Nine-tenths ol the poll of the districts foogbt, over was damaged; this is now; four-fifths restored to cultlvatlem. The railroads are now BOH P cent normal; 80 per cent of the bridges are repaired, and K per cent of the Industrial works are In operation. Ooal mines In the areas in question had an output of 22,S4S.C59 metric tons prior to 1914; thev have already been restored to an outrut cf 43H per cent o tht. pre-war level. The approTal by the United States senate of an Indemnity of $25,000,000 to Colombia In reparation for the loss of her Panama, territory closes a controversy mt long duration, and the effect npon the relations of the United States and Colombia will probably be salutary. Altogether our recent Information gives hope of greatly Increased trade opportunities abroad In tht' near future.
