Conference Called in Chicago Next Week Will In-
clude Bankers, Financiers and Exporters.
Increasing and stabilizing American foreign trade
through the formation of a $100,000,000 foreign trade
financing organization will be considered at a con-
ference of bankers, exporters and importers, manu-
facturers, producers and other prominent business
men from all over the United States at the Congress
Hotel on Dec. 10 and 11.
The conference, called by John S. Drum, presi-
dent of the American Bankers' Association, was
authorized by the annual meeting of the association
in Washington last Fall and will be representative
of the finance and industry of the entire country.
Chicago financiers and bankers already have held
several meetings relating to the organization and
will take a prominent part in the conference.
According to a prospectus just issued the pro-
posed corporation will have a capital of $100,000,-
000 to be subscribed by banks, business concerns
and the public and will begin business on Jan. 1,
1921.
The project is for the maintenance and develop-
ment of foreign trade all over the world, both buy-
ing and selling. The foreign trade situation is des-
perate because of the war, says the prospectus, and
it is planned to take such steps as are necessary to
build American trade.
