Small loan laws have been pass
ed in - states and the District Of
Columbia with maximum rates
ranging from 2ia to 3ls per cent
per month on the unpaid balance.
This indicates that the maxi
mum interest rates vary from 30
10 ~ per cent per year, which
seems rather high. but Is actually
a nominal charge when one views
the costs incurred by A company
in extending numerous small
loans.
Whereas a corporation or firm
might make one loan in the a
mount Of $500 900. a small loan
company with ceiling Of $500
per loan would have 10 extend that

thus II can readily be seen that
bookkeeping costs alone becomes
very large expense item
Loan Sharks
The people OF ill-repute IN the
small loan field are the loan
sharks. who having no legal
status, prey with the ability Of
seasoned parasites on victims not
fortunate enough to get credit
elsewhere They often force the
victim to pay many times the a
mount borrowed before releasing
him from the loan.
Although estimates vary. II ia
conservatively figured they de-
fraud the American public out of

The average range Of interest
rates for loan sharks is $40 to
100 per cent per year. although

rates were over 1900 per cent a
year,

WE DON'T NEED A SPY SYSTEM

WEDONT NEED SPY SYSTEM
UMO ARE increasing that a spy system is taking
hold in these Islands. Ordinarily, rumors should not be given
credenee, but because Of their persistence it may be well to
comment.
NOTHING MORE completely destroys the very roots
of democracy than a system in which one individual is en-
couraged to observe his fellowmen in their jobs, positions, at
work or play, and then report to someone else. Allowed to
take a toehold, such a system could quickly destroy all that
we hold near and dear to US, an d~everything is lost.
NO ONE BRANCH should be dominated by another,
Each should be allowed to follow the course best suited to
it, and SO make its contribution as it should. No decision
should be subject to be colored or reviewed by another, and
each should operate fully within its own sphere.
THESE ISLANDS, by their centuries old devotion and
allegiance to the democratic process, have no desire to even
entertain any thoughts of d~isloyaty. Nothing is being pro-
duced here of a highly secretiye nature, there are no military
installations, no atomic or hydrogen projects, and no move
mentS which call for such tight measures as warrant the
creation Of the type Of atmosphere usually surrounding such
matters.
ON H MAINLAND the security system almost got
out Of hand, and a quick halt had to be called. Our situation
here IS different, so let it not even begin here.
THINGS ri subject to get out Of hand, now is the
time to stop them. Each person should be tree to work at
what he is assigned, and the only requirements should pc
that he does his Job well and is loyal. to his government. Any
additions to or subtractions from this basic principle could
be most dangerous.
