This condition buflds | up a defy nd ie further de- | creases Supply, resulting in a condition called “Inflation.” “inflation Is pleasant when it is on the up swing—but if is bad go- | ing down.” the speaker sald { A new law called “Regulation W." | has been designed and put in force | to keep credit under control, he con- | finned I'm providing that dealers or financial houses shall not extend more than so much crédit for more | than such a period, It seeks to keep! the public from spending all of the! “extra” money they now are earn- | ing in addition to mortgaging their! future earmings—when deflation may | make it impossible for them to meet | their boom-time o tions, he said. The regulation, its legal | phraseology, is designed to interfere | as little as possible with usual busi- ness practices, Mr. Vergari contin. ued. He explained in detall the procedure that banks and dealers | must Ollow in extending credit un | der the regulation and pointed out } that violations of the law may result | | in suspension of license or a fine, | | Highlights of the provisions of | Regulation W. to the ¢onsumer are that all credit is limited to 18 months jon purchases of certain listed ar- | ticles. The credit must be repaid in a series of equal amounts, or in | amounts growing less, but not great. jer, as time passes In other words a {conifract can't call for the payment |of $21 a month for 17 months and a {final payment of $500, the speaker pointed out. | The theory of the law is that when | deflation comes, it won't find a con- {siderable portion of the public so {heavily involved with time payments | {that they won't be able to buy the! | products of “heavy” industries when [those industries vitally need the { business. | On automobiles only, apn old ear {may be trided in as part of the down payment. Farmers, whose incomes are variable dufing the year and {might not ve able to make egual {monthly payments, can write their jown terms as long ag one half of the credit extended is paid baék in one half of the time, Vergari de- clared. Similarly, teachers Who re- | ceive wages only nine months of the [eax eam adjust contracts accord- ingly. The lender of money is limited the same as a dealer Under for educational purposes, for the purchase of real estate, for funerals, ital bills, medical bills, or for certain other Purposes, the regula. tions ite vastly are ne than if | you seek money to a New car, 4 refrigerator, or similar Rems which are rapidly becoming “luxuries” ine stead of “necessities,” he sald.
