Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - May 10, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news fair these Days by George f. Sokolsky Oli i a so Ion i banking it used to be. When towns were Small and neighbourhood Banks existed that the banker a Well known citizen whom everybody respected As an extraordinarily Wise person. He knew the character of every person in his Community and its environs. He made his Loans More on the basis of character than on collateral. As Banks Crow larger and Blanch banking developed these characteristics it the banker disappeared to a Large degree a Branch manager who is promoted from Here to there rarely knows he customers at All and certainly the Quot big boys downtown Only know other Quot big boys who Are downtown a i Reading a pamphlet issued by the Quot Small business service department of the citizens and Southern Banks in Georgia this Bank apparently has revived old banking principles but applies them Modernly it recognizes that a Bank does not exist Only to accept deposits and to lend Money but also to provide advice As to management problems record keeping Plant and office locations and in Many other ways not usual in big City Banks. Hie idea behind it is that the Small businessman cannot afford to lure experts required to perform Many of the tasks which the larger businessman cart but which All modern Enterprise requires. Therefore the Bank provides the counsel and the expert service needed the theory brine that As business grows Hie Bank has an increasing number of prosperous customers and therefore makes Money. It is really a system of Mutual Aid. From the standpoint of the general welfare of the United states whatever is done to Benet it the Small businessman is Likely to be beneficial to the country because it we Are to remain a capitalistic Republic it is essential to avoid Cartel nation and monopoly. The Cartel is becoming Normal in Many european countries particularly in great Britain and its economic dependencies. Tile Cartel is becoming usual in Canada. The Cartel is a Legal method of Price fixing Quality fixing. Quantity limitations quotas to customers and other devices which restrict the Market Lessen Competition and protect those already in an Industry from being disturbed by newcomers. Of wherever the Artel exists the Small businessman is at the mercy of those who belong to the Cartel. To a manner w e Are developing the Cartel idea although not altogether in the concept of the primary contractor for government contracts. The primary contractor is generally a Large firm with enormous credit usually through interlocking directorates. Which gets a contract to do an important Job for the government particularly in relation to the National defense. The primary contractor sublets parts of its contract to a number of Small firms some of which can take no other work and therefore Are wholly dependent upon the primary contractor. Thus. The terms of All sub contracts Are favourable to the primary contractor which also has the Public relations value of being Able to advertise that it is pro Bono Publico by dividing its contracts with so Many of Liers. Too this May be the most efficient of doing these jobs. It certainly saves the time and energies of generals and admirals who do not need to speak to Small Busi i Assman any More than is absolutely necessary Lur inspection services. On the other hand it really forces Many of the Small firms while giving the appearance it i Independence to be. In reality divisions of the larger turns which tit the contracts in the first place and control the finances partic daily As tile government of the United stabs has become a slow payer. O o o thus More and More instruments of production in the United states Are coming under centralized control of increasingly Small concentrated financial groups. As the government of the United states becomes the principal or the sole customer of a firm tile element of Competition disappear because by no Genius of operations can a Small firm compete with the larger firms in a particular Industry once the primary contracts have been let. Although there has been considerable outcry against these procedures which Are stifling Small business no one has yet offered a workable solution for this problem in View of the enormous share of the National Economy that goes into defense contracts. Yet a must be found if the capitalistic system is to prevail otherwise the i1 if Sesk \ of. 80, no. Ill it.
