The Prussian COOPERATIVE Bank


The Prussian Cooperative Bank
There exists at Berlin a great pub
lie bank for the encouragement of Co
operation-the Prussian Central Co
operative Bank-owned and managed
by the Prussian State. This bank re-
ceives money on deposit from dis
tricts in which the "credit societies"
may be long on funds. It sends money
out, on loans, at interest, to districts
in which the credit societies" may
be short of funds. 1t tries to be an
equalizer, a stabiizer, of the re-
sources of the 'tcredit societies"
throughout the empire.
True the various numerous govern
ments of Germany, Imperial and State
are solicitons to secure the passage of
llws which will give to the credit
societies. a solid standing, legal and
financial. in the courts and in the
money markets; and, further, these
governments are many of them much
given to preaching the doctrine OF Co
oner tin and to teaching its technique
officially at public expense. There is

private. in the school maintained at
Dafmstadt, which is the capital of
Hesse, for the instruction OF farmers
