A proposito de la Ley de creditos rurales

La prensa agricola americana
de estoS dias trae largos impor-

tamos Agricolas al poner en- vigor
la ley. Sus opositores auguraban
que seria m fracaso pues no LENA
ba ninguna necesidad. Afirmaban
los enemigos del nuevo sistema que
Il agricultor podia obtener ell di-
nero necesariO para sus labores en-
igualeS identicas condiciones a
Las -estipuladas en la ley, siem-

cuada.
Durante la guerra el agricultor
de Norte America llev6, casi por
complete. sobre sus hOmbros, la
responsabilidad de producer para
alimentar al reSto del mundo. Es-
to solo pudo hacerse mediante ell
sistema de credito adeeuado pre-
viSto por la Ley de Creditos Ru-
rales.
FL antique sistema de prestamos

sido abolido por complete en- don

tica ha demOStrado que la ley ado
lece de ciertosi defectoS que es ne
cesario corregir. Recientemente ell
Banco Federal de Omaha, en- au-
diencia que tuviera ante ell Co
mite de Bancos Y Moneda del Con-
greso ha pedido que Sc permita a
dichos BancOs F6derales ell hacer
prestamoi hasta vein1icinco mil
d6lares en lugar de diez mil que
dispone la ley actual. El maximum
del prestamo habia sido fjado
muy bajo. Por -otra parte ell alza
ell precio de todo 10 necesario pa
IA la finca hace que este maximum
sea completamente inadecuado.
Todo aquel que tenga alg1n CO.
nocimiento Gle la Ley de Creditos
Rurales sabe que esta crea dos
sistemas de BancOS: unO, ell de
Bancos FederaleS de Prestamos
AgrfcolaS Y ell otro ell de Bancos
Territoriales Ror acciones. El OBJ
jeto del primere es ell de estimu-
lar ell credito cooperative agricola
y esta garantido y proteiido por
ell gobierno, mientras que ell Sc
gundo eS una corporation priva-
ola cuyas operaciones estan EN-
cierto modO Iimitadas por la ley.
Estos Bancos Territoriales sc crea-
ron debido al tenor de que los ban
eos Federales fracasascn, pues ha-
bia la idea que este siStema de ere
ditto cooperative agricola solo era
adaptable a las eQndiciones de Eu-
ropa de donde fqe tornado.
Los antiques prestamistas han
hecho una guerra terrible al Ban
co Cooperative, atacandoIo por ell
punto que les pareci6 mas vulne-
rable; la exenci6n de Eibnto de
sus acciones, pero al convencerse
de que no era possible destruir el
sistema, esos mismos prestamistas
fOrmaron los BancOs Territoriales
por acciones.
Como estos no sc les lmita Il
prestamo resulta que estan Siendo
unos competidores temibles de los
Bancos Cooperativos Y pOr ESQ Sc
pide el que Sc enmiende la ley en-
el sentido dc que Sc aumente el
maximnn del prestamo ell estos
ultimos Al principle los antiques
prestamistas no veian las venta-
jas que para ellos pudiera tener IA

mostro que eran 'un negocio re-
munerativo, entonces empez6 una

Para tomar dinero prestamo
en- los Bancos de Credito Coope-
rativo es necesario antes organi-
zar la Association Local de Credi-
El Mundo. [volume] (San Juan, P.R.) 1919-1990, 1920-03-08

TO Agricola. Esta Association es la
que pide ell dinero prestado al Ban
co, y debe tomar accionos del mis-
mo por valof del cinco por ciento
del prestamos que Sc pide, Al prin
cipio los agricultoreS creyeron que
este cinco por ciento era algo que
Sc perdia Y que era 10 mismo que
una comision tribute cargalo por
ges+ionar ell prestamo; pero hoy
que la prosperidad dc los. Bancos
Fedorales ha permitido a estos re-
partir 'diyidendos sobre esas ac-
clones todos Sc han convencido de
sn error. Cuando ell prestamo Sc pa
ga el Banco recoge las acciones y
su importe Sc, abona como ell Ill
timo pago.
La falta de .costumbre entire los
agricultores de asociarse para to-
mar dinero prestado .es otra venL
taja que ha favorecido grandemen.
te los Bancos Territoriales por
acciones. Pero va que Sc ha demos
trado 10 venrajos0 de la asocia-
cion, Sc cree que esta. en- lugar de
ser un obstaeulo sera una raz6n1
mas para preferir el 'Banco Coo
perativo sobre el Banco Terrific
rial.
Los Bancos Cooperativos fueron-
ideados para servir a todos los agri
eultores de la nacion. No importa
10 remote e insignificante sitio nj,
la pequenez de la finca, 81 esta
produce 10 suficiente para cubrir
las necesidades del agricultor "
su familia y dar un pequeno mar
gen para los pagos pareiales del
prestamo, el Banco esta dispues-
to a facilitar el dinero.
FL Banco Territorial ellie su
campo de operaciones mientras q.
los agricultores elijen el del BAN
co Cooperative. Por otra parte. 81
una sucursal del Baneo Cooperate
vo pierde dinero esta perdida Sc
| repara con la ganancia de las de-
mas sucursales.
Aqul viene un punto de capital
importancia para los agricultores
de Puerto Rico. MuchaS veccs he
mos dido decir que la Ley de Gre
ditos fracasara en- Puerto Rico de
bido a que los. tftulos de nuestras
fncas estan tan confundidos que

tados del Sur los titulos de po-
session no son mejores que los nues-
tres y sin embargo los Bancos Coo
! perativos prestan ALI como en-
cualquiera otra parte. ,,aa
En- cuanto a los intereses de los
lprestamos los Bancos empezaron
sus operaciones prestando al cin-
co por ciento, Debido "a Ia escasez
de dinero durante la guerra Sc vie
ron obiigados aumentar ell IL
10 a cinco y medic por ciento. Los
Bancos Territoriales prestan al 6
por ciento, ell tipo mas alto que
permite la ley.

eos Cooperativos Sc repartieran
