1t is believed that as it has now been
modified the Bankruptcy law is the best
the country has ever had. It's provisions
have been 50 framed as to give the
honest but unfortunate debtor fair
chance and at the same time to afford
the creditor, who. after all, is entitled
10 some consideration, an effective pro
lection against fraud. Perhaps the
most important Of the changes which
have just been made is that which re-
lieves the creditor from the obligation
of returning payments which have been
made on account in order to share in
the general distribution The rule upon
this point which was laid down by the
courts lacked the elements of fairness
and common sense. This was the point
upon which the commercial organiza-
tions concentrated their efforts.
