V Poge Eight THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C Thursdoy, August 14, 1941 PUBLIC BUYING ON TO BE CURBED System of Control Set Up for Bonks, Stores and Finance Companies. Washington, Aug. 11. — In a far- rfeaching step that brought the ef fects of the defense program close home to the ordinary man, President Roosevelt Monday set up a system of control for the huge installment credit business carried on through the nation’s banks, stores and per sonal finance companies. He issued an executive order di recting the Federal Reserve board to use a World war statute ahd its crim- j inal penalties to curb installment j ■credit used for the purchase of “con-: sumers’ durable goods.” | Although not affecting the man who can afford to' pay cash, the or der covered merchandise and small Joan business involving $10,000,000,- OOO of credit. Some types of those credits may be exempted, however. The president sajd the regulation was intended to discourage consum-1 ers from buying many things. „The j aim is to conserve the materials ^at i go into automobiles and washing ma-l chines, for instance, and also to curb inflationary tendencies. Chairman Marriner S. Eccles of Ihe Federal Reserve board said con sumers durable goods meant “auto- cnobiles, washing machines, refriger ators, ironers, vacuum cleaners and many other goods.” He declined tol say, until detailed regulations are' prepared, just what other things are included. He explained it may be several days until the regulations are issued, and in the meantime con sumers can still buy on whatever terms businessmen are willing to sell. At that time, he said, the board will i.ssue a list of regulated items. After a date, yet to be selected, it will be unlawful for anyone to sell those items on any credit terms ex cept those specified by the board. In addition, the board expects to regu late small personal loans. The penal ties for violations will be a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000. Mr. Roosevelt, in his order, said the regulations were necessary be cause “liberal terms for such credit tend to stimulate demand for con sumers’ durable goods and production of which requires materials, skiUi, and equipment needed for national defense” and because “the extension of such credit in excessive volume tends to generate inflationary de velopments of increasing c o n s e - quence.” Notes From The County Agent's Office By C. B. CANNON, Comity Agent Seven Cents Per Pound Penalty On ExceM lf4l Cotton Information received from the state AAA office that the department of agriculture has announced the pen alty on 1941 cotton marketed in ex-1 cess of the< fann marketing quota I will be seven cents per pound. Thej 1940 penalty rate was three cents a pound, stated C. B. Cannon, county! agent. Establishment of the rate was pro vided by congress in an amendment to the agricultural adjustment act of 1938. This legislation set a basic loan rate to cooperators for the 1941 crop of cotton at 85 per cent of the cotton parity price as of August 1. At the same time, it provided that the pen alty on marketing I excess cotton be placed at 50 per cent of the basic ^an rate. The parity price of cotton on Aug ust 1 was 16.49 cents a pound, which made the basic loan rate for 7-8 inch middling cotton 14.02 cents. Thus, the! penalty rate was set at half of this figure, or seven cents a pound. This will a flat rate applicable to the I marketing of all 1941 excess cotton,' rega^d^ess of grade or staple. Cannon said. , —He pointed out that the new loan rate is more than five cents above that in effect on the 1940 crop, while the penalty rate was increased only four cents. Producers who knowingly exceed their acreage allotments may receive government loans at a rate of only 60 per cent of that offered to cooper ators, but only on that portion of their crop which is subject to penalty.
