From the web:

...Respecto a los capitalistas franceses, podríamos decir que han

seguido un cuarto camino. Se han limitado a adquirir acciones de

una sociedad anónima bancaria establecida en Chile, que tenia el

nombre de Banco de la República. Este banco se liquidó por malos

negocios i en su lugar se fundó después el Banco Francés de Chile,

que es también una sociedad anónima chilena cuyas acciones están,

en su mayor parte, en poder de capitalistas franceses....

online translated:

....Regarding the French capitalists, we could say that they have

taken a fourth way. They merely to acquire shares of

a banking corporation established in Chile, which had the

behalf of the Central Bank. This bank was liquidated by bad

business instead i was later founded the French Bank of Chile,

which is also a Chilean corporation whose shares are,

for the most part, held by French capitalists....

Por ejemplo, durante el cambio de siglo uno de los objetivos principales de los comerciantes franceses es la creación de un banco francés en Chile. En 1909 en un editorial de la publicación periódica realizada por la colonia francesa Le Journal du Chili leemos:

18 Le Journal du Chili, 5/9/1909.

à défaut d’une Banque française, le capital dont nous parlons doit forcément et inconsciemment contribuer à alimenter le mouvement commercial de nos concurrents au détriment du nôtre et il nous paraît rationnel et patriotique à la fois de faire un effort pour donner à ce courant une direction favorable aux intérêts français18.

48Este sentimiento expresado en estas cartas y estos artículos muestran la convicción que Francia debe proteger y apoyar la acción comercial de sus ciudadanos en el extranjero. Las peticiones al gobierno francés para que se encargue de la creación de una línea marítima francesa y de la fundación de un banco francés en Chile se presentan, al mismo tiempo, como una necesidad para el desarrollo del comercio exterior francés y como una obligación patriótica de la parte del gobierno francés.

For example, at the turn of the century one of the main objectives of French traders is the creation of a French bank in Chile. In 1909 in an editorial in the journal by the French colony Le Journal du Chili read:
The Journal of Chile, 09.05.1909.

the absence of a French bank, the capital of which we speak must necessarily and unconsciously help fuel the commercial movement of our competitors at the expense of ours and it seems rational and patriotic at the same time make an effort to give this current one direction favorable to the interests français18.This sentiment expressed in these letters and these articles show the conviction that France must protect and support the commercial activity of its citizens abroad. The French government requests to take charge of the creation of a French shipping line and the founding of a French bank in Chile are presented at the same time, as a necessity for the development of French foreign trade and as a patriotic duty the French government.

49Paralelamente to purely economic interest that exists in the relations between the French colony and its metropolis, patriotism plays an important role in developing and maintaining these relationships. We must not forget that patriotism is a sense in principle and that is self built. It is a feeling of preference that the French colony experienced by the national group which is considered a participant. This trend leads to colony members interested in the fate of his country (France), to participate actively in favor of the metropolis, to share their suffering, their disappointments, their joys and hopes.
