B.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 18th, 1^37 Ko. 50 CREDIT HORTICULTURAL LECTURE 'I'he business world of today in Canada-is sutferingr from a disease called "frozen credit." It surpasses in intensity even the cold of our winters. Never was there such a frOst, or one so widespread as to constitute a kind of vicious circle . . presenting an unbroken front to the sun of prosperity. Credit works in a circle in any case. If only a^ew of the little wheels coiild̂ be thawed out, in time the other little wheels m ight be made to move,, until the big wheels and the whole machine wore once more turning over. ' . ' ■ Obviously, there" can be no thawing out process untit|*at ' least the main component of the freezing mixture is known. To siich a question the average man-inrthe-street would reply war. debts, watered stock, tariffs', overrproductioh,, greed, extiayagance, anything but the right answer. All the above constitute part of the mixture, it is true, but the main basis is just . plain dishonesty: I^ is„ an ugly word and one no man - likes.~t6...haye~.associated„.with.-his..name."„,Unfortunately, -,it- happeiis to be true, as we shall have to admit, arid the fact that most of it is within the law only makes it worse, infer- ring the presence-of-arcertain cowardice as well. The dirty tricks which so many consider "shrewd busi­ ness," the cold-blooded putting of one over the other, fellow, the disregard of the verbal agreement, the false innuendos ̂against one's competitors, the charging of the highest prices the market will bear, the scheming to rOb the poor or ignorant of their savings, etc.,.thei^ arife the things which have frozen credit and brought uptJff^'s an Arctic cold in which there is no.business life. - ̂ • ' • . ■ We may say th a t modern' competition is responsible and_ ^be right ap to the poirit th a t it has made the temptation greater.
