YEARS CREDIT LOSSES
REACH HALF BILLION
Organiza tions Now Trying to Curb
Total and Help Check
Depressions.

By the Associated Press.
CHICA6O. October 30.-Credit con-
trolling organizations are just be-
ginning to assume their role of tre-
mendous Importance in helping to
prevent nation wide crisse in BUSH
ness, according to ]. H. Tregoe Of
New York, secretary-treasurer Of the
National Association Of Credit Men.
Mr.. Trecoe, who is conducting the
annual conference of credit man
ayers and secretaries here this week,
declared there never was a depres-
sion or panic that was not the result
of false structure OF credit. The
Importance of this system is seen in
the fact that 90 per cent of all COM
merce is done on credit terms, he
said.
The nations credit powers exceed
those Of all the nations of Europe
combined.,' Mr.. Tregoe said. Under
the operation Of this huge structure
we have at present an average an
nual loss Of one-half billion dollars
in bad debts. Proper understanding
on the part of merchants and credit
men will tend strongly to curb this
loss and eliminate depressions-"
