"It was very clear that new settlers were sacrificing their living conditions considerably In order to lessen the amount to be borrowed and in order to in crease, the amount of repay ments. Although It is probably desirable that people heavily in debt should live frugally in or der to increase their assets, it certainly is not socially desir able that the level of living should be too depressed.
