From the earliest days credit in
some form was granted in the rela-

world commerce has become so ex-
tensive and so complex that credit
is the real ally of commerce and with
out it trading of men with one an
other on a large scale and the huge
facilities for transporting commodities
would anguish and dwindle away. The
real nature of credit, being not ma
terial but spiritual, has gone beyond
the grasp of the casual thinker and
because of ignorance as to its nature
and uses, nlishaps have come upon our
commerce. We are today suffering
a depression because commercial cred

of its fiat money for onlmedities at
its face value. Credit is founded on
real value and is never better nor
worse than its underlying value When
the governments of the belligerent
nations borrowed billions of their peo-
pie for the purchase of war munitions
