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.
