CREDITWORTHINESS
"It is not for us as bankers to provide permanent or long-term capital for agriculture or any other industry, for, should we do so, we should be lessening our general usefulness to the community and exceeding our proper functions. As I have already pointed out, we do provide accommodation of a banking nature to farmers, and, in case of need, a degree of latitude is allowed, where the circumstances justify a departure from the terms governing the advance, for it is in the interests of the bank, no less than in those of its customers, that borrowers worthy of credit should be assisted whenever it is possible to do so." —Mr. Edwin Fisher, chairman Barclays Bank Ltd.
