OF Corporation Counsel z. Barrett

nesseE The regulations Will be aimed
at curbing abuses brought TO light
by recent Senate investigations
In suggesting that the Commits
sioners take the course they now con-
template. Prettyman pointed out that
the present small-loans Law. enacted
In 1918. requires all persons loaning
money at interest In excess Of 8 per
cent per annum to take out licenses.
How effective this has been is shown.
he contended, by the fact that in 20
years not a single license has been
issued and only one applied for.
"ProcurerS" Active.
The spirit Of the act, he said, Is
evaded by charges" other than in
terest, made by those who loan small
sums Of money, and which greatly ex-
ceed 8 per cent. Another abuse is
that there has sprung UP system Of
''procurers. who engage 10 obtain

who claim not TO be making the loans

come under the purview Of the new
regulations, Prettyman suggested.
Points to Be Covered.
Points which should be covered
by the proposed regulations, accord
ing to Prettyman's suggestions, in
addition to requiring licenses, are:
To license those engaged in pro
curing" loans from third parties for
the benefit Of applicants;
To AK the license fees at 5000 per
annum:
To require persons lending money

charges) exceeds per cent per an

To draw regulations governing the

business which may, for the benefit
Of the public. require regulation su-

More Soviet Business

The first dollars and cents fruits
OF Russian recognition are beginning
to be reaped BY American business
men. according to figures Just issued
by the U. s. Commerce Department.
American exports to Russia during
February, 1t develops, totaled just
less than $500, O00-which may not
be an unusually high figure, as ex-
ports 60. but which compares very
favorably with 1921 900 in January.
and which is nearly three times the
sum recorded for February, 1893.
Not all this increase, Of course, Is
due to government recognition Of
Russia. Part Of 1t undoubtedly re-
fleets the general rise In business
conditions.
But there is, nevertheless, justifica-
ton for the belief that recognition Is
ultimately going to mean more dol
lars in the pockets Of American
manufacturers.
