Credit Badly Strained

Both these factors caused a sudden
strain on credit. Owners of goods
which began to lie on shelves and
couldn't be moved because buying slack
ened. and owners of goods delayed in
transit or kept in manufacturers hands
for lack of train facilities, began asking
to have credit extended. The big bubble
of commercial paper loans which had
been blown up in the last year threat
cned to expand with tremendous rapidity
at a time when the people were not
buying freely at current prices and
when transportation difficulties seemed
to lie ahead.
This brought the issue whether or
not the time to debate, or at least to
stop imitation, had not arrived sharply
up to the bankers and reserve board
