Loan Agencies
Fight Reduced
Interest Rates

| LANSING, Dec. % - up -
Asserting a CLIO. request for a
substantial reduction IN small
loan interest rates was "arrant
nonsense the Michigan ASSoCt-
alton of Small Loan Companies
Wednesday appealed TO Govern
or Kelly TO withhold support for
such a reduction until auditors
could study the effect Of the Sug-
geSted decrease on company
income.
Replying 10 a demand from
CLIO. officials that the Michigan
small loan interest rate be re-
duced at least 10 l y per cent
month, w. d. Brewer, Of De
troit, president of the aSSocia-
ton, asked Kelly 10 suspend
judgment on the request until
Feb. l when, he said, a survey
by the Acknowledgements public
accounting firm Of HaSkinS and
Sells could determine what such
an interest rate would mean 10
Michigan companies.
He said the firm had been en-
plOyed TO project that loan rate
against the companies business
as determined by the State
Banking Commissions annual
report for 203 companies.
The CLIO. asked for the rate
reduction on the grounds the
present rate of three per cent on
the first 500 of loan and = u
per cent on everything else up
$500 was enacted by bribery in
the legislature. The officials
referred TO indictments returned
by the Carr Grand Jury.
Brewer wrote Kelly the APP
peal to you is not only based
on misinformation but on falla-
cious reasoning as well, TO wit:
that 'officials Of small loan COM
panies were indicted for engag-
ing in bribery 10 influence the
passage Of the small loan act in
the 1889 legislative session. -. -
Brewer told Kelly that no
charges had been preferred by
any one that the rate was enact
ed by bribery, but that the
Grand Jury had alleged the
brides were passed TO prevent
the present rate.
He asserted the banking de-
partment's report for the 1913
business year showed that more
than $4,000 Michigan families
used small loan company serv-
ices in the year and that the
companies net earnings were
SAB per cent in 1943.
He argued that any rate re-
ductlon would be "indefenSlble,
unjustified and uncalled for, -
that it would force small loan
companies to quit the state and
leave persons in need of that
type of service TO resort 10
salary buyers and loan sharks. "

Europeans Face
Low Food Supply
in Coming Year

WASHINGTON - UR) Ell
ropean agriculture is increas-

an agriculture department sur
vey reports,
Continental Europe. with the
exception of Russia, will have n
somewhat smarter food supply
during 1944-45 than last year
and only IS per cent of the pre-
war supply, the department re-
port showed.
THE 1914 harvest was poorer
even than the subnormal har-
vest of 1943," the office of for
eign agricultural relations said,
with a decline in the production
of grains, sugar beets and veg
etable oils. Meat production in
creased slightly but no improve
ment has occurred in the output
of milk and eggs, OFAR said.
