AUSTRALIAN ATTACKS
INSTALLMENT PLANS

LONDON, April % GA warning
against the growing habit of pur-
chasing lu0uries on the hire system,
was sounded by Kenneth Goschen,
presiding at meeting of the Bank
of Australasia.
He said when the sale on INSTALL
ment plan provides for essential needs
such as the purchase of house prop
erty or the purchase .of furniture
it has some Justification, but in the
purchase of luxuries the property
has generally deprecated at least
so per cent by the time it becomes
the purchasers own and in nine cases
out of ten it has led to expenditure
which would otherwise have been
curtailed or not undertaken.
This growing habit of purchasing
on the hire system may become a
menace and if persisted in, will, in
my opinion accentuate periods Of
depression and delay recovery. Indeed
in country like Australia, where
the failure of harvest has such
far-reaching effects, it may lead to
something like disaster"
