Method for Beating Agreement

That the profits of the loan sharks are
sufficiently large to encourage them ir
taking risks was the belief expressed
today by the court official. who further
expressed the belief that an easy meth
cd of beating the agreement already has
been found.
..Proprietors of the loan companies can
say to their managers that these man
ayers must make loans as they tell him.
or lose their positions" said the official
.If such manager refuses to continue
making loans at Illegal rates and is dis
charged the activities of the loan COM
pany are not checked. They would sim
ply have to appoint a new manager and
20 right ahead doing business.
The manager who had previousl,
been in court. and against whom sus-
pended sentence might stand. could not
be punished further for the reason thai
he was not any longer connected with
the company. while the new manager
could. under the agreement. only be
charged with first violation of the
law. though the violation might really
be the third or fourth. or any otha:
number, for which the company actual
" was responsible.
