Book Description

Excerpt from Report of Committee on Rural Credits, 1920 Moreover, such borrowings were usually in small amounts, and the bank managers were not eager to encourage them. It is not at all unusual for a farmer to have to make a journey of ten or fifteen miles to the nearest bank. The only other source of loans are the money lenders, the most usurious type of which is the gem been-man, the 'trust auctions, which are disastrous to the farmer, and the Loan Fund Board, which was never intended for making loans to farmers, but to afford temporary relief in small amounts to workers in the great industrial centres.
