CARELESS BUSINESS MEN
PASSING OF VALUELESS CHEQUES
Dominion Special Service.
Auckland, May 10,
“Judges and Magistrates have commented until they are tired on the ease with which valueless cheques cau be passed,” said Mr. J. S. Barton, S.M., in an address to the Chamber of Commerce to-day. “Not only are cheques cashed, but swindlers borrow cheques and ink to write them. Why do business men accept those cheques? Because they say that the cheques presented are usually good, and they can pass on the loss on bad ones.” Mr. Barton said he had actually heard from witnesses in Court that such losses did not matter; they were passed on to the consumer. “You are leaving groiind for the harbouring of suspicions as to how you make your profits,” he added. “You must remember that ill-informed minorities have often become majorities, which have overturned social and economic systems.”
