NEED FOR CREDIT FACILITIES
PROPER CREDIT. facilities for tbe v;roin 7.

I'LL dClue III Ill virgin lSIanQS are
seriously lacking The survey made not long ago bya commit
tee appointed by former Governor HASTE rendered its report
after. studying the problem, but there the matter ended, IN
communities such as these it is necessary that credit facilities
designed to meet the needs Of all be established and main
tanned. 49,
a typical community of this size on the continental Unit
ed States would have at least the following: banks where per
sonal loans may be had on. signature, or collateral; loans to
small businesses and projects; loans to farmers and producers
on. both short and long time basis. and finally, the several
loan facilities Of the Federal government, including the Fed
eral Housing Authority. But as for us, none of these is pre-
sent, and SO far as we know, the chances are that none will
be seen in the near future.
THERE IS A tendency to regard things financial as pure
y personal, and completely removed from the impersonal
business basis. People look upon loans as bespeakng poverty,
and little else. Not so with the business world elsewhere.
Banks, credit agencies, both local and Federal. have beenaset
up to facilitate people, and they are used to their fullest. and
to the advantage of those for whom they were created. But
this IS no problem, for if the necessary agencies and facilities
We're made available and conducted on a purely business
basis, then this attitude would quickly be corrected.
IN H LIGHT of the survey made, further efforts
should be made to explore the possibilities of bringing to
these Islands the necessary credit facilities which every com
munity Of ike size enjoys on the mainland, and these should
be both private and Federal. There IS Is no question but that
the need is great, and the sooner it is met, the; quicker will
that one phase of our economic problem start on its way to-
wards solution.
