PROMINENT LANSING Confidence Rules MERCHANT PASSES In Credit System, AWAY IN DETROIT 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. In the death of Mr. Philip Joseph, Guard Credit System. at Harper Hospital, Sunday, February 16, Lansing has lost one of its most "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. • TALMUD TORAH PLAY HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT FEATURE FOR PURIM TO CONSULT WITH JEWISH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION half years of Mr. Joseph's residence there, he had taken an active part in both the business and social life in Lansing, achieving popularity alike in Jewish and Gentile circles.

Budapest.—The first annual con' vention of the National Association 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 dent of this organization, von Polwah, in his opening addl., emphasized this platform of the As. sociation, among other things, he pro• posed the organization and support of Jewish clubs to further all kind, of sports. Mrs. Emanuel Stein eon. ducted a discussion on the mud,' ipa. riots of Jewish women in the mil ■ ties of the Association. A letter from Minister N'enic,Iv was then read, in which the letter declared that henceforth, in all mat ters concerning the Jews of Hungary , he would consult with representative s of the Association. The letter also contained the usual assurances that the Hungarian government is stris ins always toward the right, and that it will not tolerate race or religion. hatred. 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.
