Minn..—-’l‘ho problem of instalment soiling. whether it can be controlled and. if so. to what ox- tont. and its future effect on the business of the country. is the most important question facing the indus- trial leaders and banltors of the country. in the opinion of Eastern bankers. who have almost complo~ ted their ”circlo of the country." following their convention in Loo Angelos. A poll taken on the special train of the Northern Pacific Railway. which arrived here daturday. show- od that the majority of those who oxproosed an opinion believed that instalment selling had been over- dono and that it could not continue at its present pace without dangef to the country. Some of tho bankers were inclined to attribute tho week‘s decline in the stock market to fears that this system of merchandising had ex- panded in dangerous fashion and that some sort of reckoning. espe- cially in luxury lines. was inevitable. Many delegates to the convention of tho American Bankers' Associa- tion regret that the association dealt so little with this caution. acUon being confined to the report of the Policy Committee to the executives two days after the convention closed.

PAGE SEVEN to The Bankers Arguments Pro and Con Aired maiority of the bankers regard the question as an important one and not a few are going home with the intention of advising caution in con- nection with instalment selling and using their influence with both buy- ers and sellers to prevent further relaxation of present terms. usually not longer than a twelve-month pe- riod and fl per cont in cash at the time of purchase. Ills Sales Are Attributed to Plan. The bankers estimate that about 36.500.000.000 of commodities of all sorts were sold “on timo" during 1925. and believe that the tremen- dous volume of retail sales last year and this was made possible only through the expansion of the instal- ment system. since in a period of in- creasing productivity industry turns out more consumers' goods than consumers can buy with their in- comes. Supporters of instalment selling argue that America's present state of great prosperity would have been impossible without just such a sys- tem of deferred payments. Those who oppose this system. es- pecially in the case of luxuries. hold that it represents nothing more nor less than a first mortgage on salaries not yet earned. and which may not he earned should a period of unset- tled business develop. __.__..—_...——— He's Spoofing!
