when the 'insi report of II. commis-
sion will he submitted.
The commission Is deeply in:-
pressed with the vital Importance OF
thoroughly organized and uaIted
rural population. In this respect the
countries OF Europe offer q lssson
which may No, long s'~ disseRarded
In America without serious eon~~
qu-ncss.
The agricultural interests of most
OF the European countries visited by
the Commission are oreasised alonx
one or more OF the following iin~s:
credit. production. distribution and
social Organization for the better
n~nt Of country life.
Organizations for the provision
of criat facilities for Enropean form
crs follow the natural division into
shor, time personal credit and long
tim. land mortgage credit. The Or
.anixa,ions for the provision of per-
sonal credit facilities are as highly
developed N are the systems OF com-
m.rcisl banking. The prevailing
rate Of interest paid ny the fsrmep
for short tim" loans. IL from four TO
five and onc-haK rer c~n'. The
terms aoffered European farmers are
generally better designed to mee, the
p.cuiInr requirements OF akrfuitu-
lists than ar. the terms obtsinsbie to-
day by the American farmer.
The personal credit organizations
have the form Of cooperative So
ei-ties. Very often the members of
thsae societies assume unlimited liza
hiiity for the debts OF the society
while In other oasss the societies
take the form Of limited liability. As
rule In European countries. the
law makes little or no provision for
exemptions OF sny Kind. Th~se short
time credit societies furnish cheap.

hers by reason OF their control by
farmers and are ORGANIZATIONS esclu-

operate them at nominal cost and
without seeking dividend profit to
such societies.

Without discussing the form of or
