In Credit System,

Says Forum Speaker
Secretary of Detroit Credit Men's Ass'n.
Attributes Business Success of U. S.
to Its System of Credit.
That confidence is the motivating
force underlying the credit system of
the United States was brought out in
a particularly interesting and instruc-
tive talk on "Confidence and Credit"
by Frank R. Hamburger, Secretary of
the Detroit Credit Men's Association,
formerly secretary of the National
Credit Men's Association, at the
Forum Luncheon of the B'nai Brith
Club, Tuesday.
Confidence and credit arc synony-
mous terms, the speaker, pointed out,
adding that 98% of the volume of
business is transacted on the credit
basis. Eliminating the retailer, more
than 98% of the business is transact-
ed in this manner.
"Credit is the exchange of mer-
chandise, service or money for a
promise to pay at some future date,
which implies that there must be con-
fidence in such a transaction," Mr.
Hamburger declared.
MR. PHILIP JOSEPH.

"There is nothing more delicate to
the industrial world than the sys- beloved citizens and prominent busi-
tem of credit. For that reason it ness men. During the seven and a
must be zealously guarded and given
its true , value in the world of com-
merce. The abuse of credit is the
abuse of confidence, and I cannot con-
ceive of a more deplorable condition
than a man, a municipality, a state
or nation bereft of the confidence of
man. When credit is tampered with
or abused, the results are very dis-
astrous."
As an instance of the swift retri-
bution that follows in the wake of
an abused confidence, Mr. Hamburger
cited the case of the German mark
that has fallen to a value of less than
one cent.' The normal value being 24
cents. One of the greatest contribut-
ing causes to that financial disaster,
he said, was due to the fact that the
world has lost confidence in Germany.
Mr. Hamburger differentiated be-
tween the unfortunate debtor and the
commercial crook. One way of deal-
ing with an honest failure, he pointed
out, who though lack of ability, in-
sufficient funds, or some other un-
fortunate circumstance has failed in
a business venture, is to extend bins
further credit upon merely a moral
risk. "But," the speaker said, "if you
ascertain that one has abused the con-
fidence of a single man, he has lost
the faith of the whole trade and it
is very difficult for that man to re-
habilitate himself its business.

Budapest.—The first annual con'

of Hungarian Jews was held here.
This organization includes and repre.
sents all the Jews of the country,
since it does not concern itself with
religious or internal Jewish political
questions, but aims solely to help
rehabilitate the ruined Jewish homy.,
and to represent the Jewish inter ,, t.
before the government. The

A letter from Minister N'enic,Iv
was then read, in which the letter
declared that henceforth, in all mat

he would consult with representative s

contained the usual assurances that

will not tolerate race or religion.

On Every Tongue!
Business Dependent on Credit.
"If you curtail the credit system
of this country, you would be curtail-
ing from 50 to 60 per cent of the vol-
ume of business and make it impos-
sible for a man with a small capital
to get on. Credit has made this coun-
try great and has enabled men with
limited working capital to develop
and promote powerful business enter-
prises.
"Confidence begets confidence. A
man with dishonest inclinations may
be made honest through confidence.
Have confidence in a tnats until you
have reason to believe that he is un-
worthy of fit. There is nothing more
deplorable in life than a man who
has lost the confidence of his friends.
Confidence is good-will. Live your
life so that it may be said of you,
"His word was as good as his bond."
The lively discussion that succeeded
Mr. Hamburger's talk was participat-
ed in by Leon Goldsmith, Morris Gar-
vett, Leon Dreifuss, Henry D. Marks
and others. Harry R. Solomon, who
presided, prefaced his introduction
with an interesting account of the
history of credit, tracing briefly the
medium of exchange in its various
forms through the ages.
Fink Next Speaker.
Myer S. Fink, one of the most ac-
tive members of Pisgah Lodge and
past president of the local Order,
will be the speaker at the next Forum
Luncheon Tuesday, March 2, at the
club rooms, 25 Iloardway. "The
Solution" the topic of Mr. Fink's ad-
dress, touches the Jewish life of to-
day, stressing the effects of Jewish
mythology on present day world
Jewry. Mr. Fink is a forceful speak-
er and his message promises to be
of unusual interest. Luncheons be-
gin promptly at 12:15. Ladies are
cordially incited.
