El ites t.ie Nationci City Bank of

t.-If of the privilege accorded by the

t i_:i banking. The resident of that
institution, Frank A. Vanilerlip, lias
lofty .md farsightcd views on the
subject. He believes that by cs
t il ..aiiiug branches in the principal
cit.es of t'ao world, American banks
w ill be t:a immense help 'o our mer
ihauts and manufacturers in push
ing their trade abroad. But he
does not believe iu undertaking a
to'rniidable campaigu of that kind
without adequate preparations,
without building up a corps of
young American bankers who are |
tsivtiaily equipped for the delicate j

l.Ul'OKTAXCE OF EXPORT TltADl
Every dollar of actual money in
circulation iu thia country is the
basis of several dollars of commer
cial crbdit. That is why a relative
ly small amount of increase m ex
ports has had such a tremendous
el feet in reviving industry iu this
uountiy. Immediately after tho
enactment of the democratic tariff
law, our imports increased and our
exports decreased, with the result
that iu a period of 10 mouths wo
lost a total of $261,000,000 in our
foreign trade balance. This dim
inishing balance iu our favor
i.-utcd a corresponding diminution
iu commercial credits, thus injuring
industry to the extent of many time:
^til.'JOO.OOO. The outbreak of th<
European war reversed the situa
tiou. Imports diminished and ex
ports increased immensely, giving
-in ' 1.urinous trade balance in our
favor, every dollar of which, furn
ished the basis formany times the
amount in commercial credits. The
iiucsticu which now confronts the
Amreican people is whether we shal!
have di»e regard for the beneficial
influence of a largo favorable trade
balance, or shall again throw
our ivarkets open under a free
trade policy, permitting foreign
countries to ship us ch®ap goods
and take away our money, thus
diminishing iu still greater de
gree the amount of available corn
