The {dea that bankers engaged fn financing foreign trade and in handling foreign bond flotations are @ particular cult of “International bankers” actuated by motives dif- fering from those of other bankers was refuted recently by Otto H. Kahn of New York, in an address before the Rochester Chamber of Commerce. “There is no such thing as an ‘International Banker’ in America, run for gs the meaning of the term is gen- erally understood,” Mr. Kahn said. ;“He exists nthe imagination of ! people all too numerous, bet he does not exist in the flesh. You might just as welf speak of the |‘International Farmer’ because the ‘farmer sells a certain percentage of his crops to Europe, or of the ‘Internationa’ Manufacturer.’ “The banker maintains, and can maintain, international contact, and conduct tnternational bual- ness, only to the extent that Amer- {can industry, commerce and agri- tulture are International. True, the banker must take within his purview continuously the condi- tions of affairs and the current of things throughout the world, but so must the exporter and !mporter, and so must the farmer take into account the prices and tendencies of the world market in Liverpool. Banking Mostly Home Business “The American banker's market is the home market. His success 4s conditioned upon the capacity and willingness of the American investor to absorb the securities which he offers, His very crist- ence depends upon the confidence and co-operation of the public and of his fellow-bankers—and any banker whose activities “would justly create the impression that he was actuated bs cosmopolitan rather than by Ame@ican interests would very soon lose that confi- dence and following. “The business which he does for his own acccunt in, with, or for Europe, is {nconaiderable as com- pared to the buginess he does in America.

LADY COWANS WHO HAS BEEN FORCED BY POVERTY TO PUT UP THE MEDALS AND AWARDS (BELOW) WHICH HER Heh GENERAL SIR JOHN S. COWANS, WON DURING HIS TIM. BY MILTON BRONNER. NEA Service Staff Correspondent, London, July 10.—Honored and idolized during his life; now almost completely forgotten in his death, General Sir John S. Cowans, national hero, is the central figure of another grim tragedy of the war’s aftermath. It’s the tragedy of a nation’s in- gratitude; and its victim is the gen- eral’s widow, Lady Cowans, who has been forced through dire poverty to take the medals and awards which her husband won and put them up for sale! Forty years ago John Cowans first joined: the British army and when the World War broke out he was made quartermaster general of all the Brit- ish forces. \ eral became ill. He had to go into debt to pay his doctors’ bill, for the war had played havoe with his $40,000 estate: A ray of hope came when awards for heroism were being handed out. Cowans was in line for somethigg. But while others were made robles and given huge money grants, Cow- ans was knighted. He died a few months ago. There was a large military funeral, kind words and then complete forgetful- ness, The widow struggled along for a while. But her circumstances be- came worse.
