Credit For All
Competentls
Goal Of Banks
Small business will get aid
w h ere competency and
constructiveness of pur.
pose Is proved.

Every competent man, firm and
corporation that needs bank credit
for some constructive purpose will
get it, Walter R. Bimson, president
of Valley National Bank. announced
on his return from New York where
he attended the organization meet
ing of the Postwar Small Business
Credit Commission of the American
Bankers Association.
Such loans will be made for ade-
quate amounts and for sufficient
length of time to do the job, BIN
son stated. This new dynamic Gre
dit policy adopted by the Postwar
Small Business Credit Commission
mobilizes the nations $1,000 banks
behind new and forward-looking
program that will assure adequate
bank credit to meet the needs of
small business in the reconversion
and postwar periods.
THE liberal policy doesn't mean
that banking is embarking on
program of using depositors money
TO make reckless loans" Bimson
explained "Such loans are of no
benefit TO the borrower, the COM
munity or the bank. 1t does mean,
however, that any loan that can be
justified will be made insofar as
possible"

Never before have the banks of
this country had such tremendous
.storehouse of credit with which to
serve the many needs of postwar
business, industry and agriculture.
Deposits now exceed one hundred
billion dollars, an amount adequate
to finance the credit needs of post
war America regardless of how
great those needs may become.
This credit will be released just as
soon as the economic condition of
the country permits and the anti
inflationary government regulations
restricting the extension of credit
IN many lines of activity are lifted.
The COST of bank credit to the bor-
rover e and wiA-cofrinueto be the
