Credit Men Urge Freer
Use of Trade Acceptances
Not Intended to "Liquefy
Frozen Credit" One Says

Benefits which would accrue 10 the
country's business from general use
Of trade acceptances were discussed
Yesterday at an all-dsy meeting under
the auspices Of the National Associa-
ton Of Credit Men. in the Hotel
Aston
Bankers and business men from diff
ferent parts Of the country asserted
that the use OF these negotiable re-
ceipts for goods sold would prevent
reckless buying and over-eXpansion
and tend 10 reduce the cost Of mer-
chandse to the retailer.
II was pointed out that the problem
facing credit men, bankers, manufact-
urers and wholesalers who advocate
trade acceptances Is TO awaken re-
tailers 20 their advantages as sub
stitute for the present system Of open
accounts.
Speakers emphasized their contention
that the use Of trade acccptances
would result in no interference with the
existing custom OF giving discounts for
cash payment within specified time
limit.
About three hundred representatives
Of banks and large business and credit
firms attended the meeting. Luncheon
was served between the morning and
afternoon sessions.
II. Parker Willis. secretary OF the Fed
eral Reserve Board. which is particu-
larly interested IN trade acccptances
because OF their negotiability through
members Of the Federal Reserve. said
that the use Of acceptances was no
longer a question Of theory but Of con
certed action on the part Of those who
realized their value 20 the country
business. He declared the first things
to be decided upon were uniform
form Of acceptance and the conditions
under which they were 70 be used
They must he for live accounts and
