Kirby States Arguments.
Kirby, in his address, took the
stand that meetings of amateurs with
professionals would not faint the
amateurs, and would bring about
keener contests than are staged at
present when amateurs meet amateurs
only and professionals are permitted
to compete with professionals only.

Of the union have disagreed with me
in my stand" declared Kirby. but
il has not changed my belief that the
interests of sports would be better
served If meetings between amateurs
and professionals in track and field
events were permitted

guards which he thought might en-

from these meets He suggested that
the organization be called The Ameri-

sociations similar in many respects to
the European land mortgage association
but the work of these associations has
been rather in the cities than in the
rural districts, though some of them
are making loans on farm lands.
Figures now being gathered by the
department Of agriculture show that
the problem of adequate credit facili-
ties at reasonable rates Of interest is
one which demands serious attention
in this country. 1t is to be noted that
each Of the European countries that
has worked out an advanced system of
rural credits has been obliged to adapt
the system to its own peculiar national
conditions. In other words, while we
may say that Europe generally has ad-
vanced far ahead Of us in its treatment
of this problem, we cannot fail to notice
that each country has developed its own
national system Of rural credits.
:. National System Needed.
And the preliminary study has con-
vinced the rural credit subcommittee
on banking and currency that 1t will
be necessary for us to develop an Am
Srican national system, as it will not
be possible to find ready made a suited
system to our needs.
Much may be learned from a study
Of the several European systems and
our own building and loan associations,

considering conditions and looking for
facts without any preConceived notion
as to what plan It may prove most wise
to adopt,
