At the end of 1956 the number of ,credit unions stood at 4,191, It is interesting to compare the number of credit unions in Canada with the number of branches of the chartered banks. At the end of 1956 Canada's ten chartered banks, including the Bank of Canada, had more than 4,400 branches and sub-agencies, and for the past decade the aver- age increases have been about 120 annually. Banks got off to a head There were 1,555 new credit un- ions formed in the western hem- isphere during, 1957, bringing the total number of credit unions to 23,876, according to the Credit Union National Association (CU NA). During the% past year, 1,372 cr- edit unions in the United' States and its possessions; 4,219 in Can- ada and 893 in. South America, Central America and _the West Credit, Unions have beep exem- pt .from income taxes for more than 20 years, and OUNA, the Credit Unioh National Association steadfastly opposes any repeal of that status. In the United States in Jan- uary, OUNA officials testified be- fore the House 'Ways and Means Committee saying, "some 300,000 Americans volunteer their time and effort without monetary com- pensation every day to make pos- sible the benefits of credit union services to an ever -increasing start of course. By 1905 there were already more than •1,100 branches operating in Canada, but there was not even legislation Under which a credit union could be incorporated until the passage of the Quebec. Syndicates Act in 1906, Credit unions and banks are of cows not comparable in many important respects. For instance the services of the banks are offered to a much greater number of people because they welcome all corners. Credit unions on the other hand deal only with members. Illinois led the U. S, in new credit unions during 1957, with 138, closely followed by Californ- ia-. with 125. In Canada, Ontario led all.provinces with 67 new Cr' edit unions. The Credit Union Nation As- sociation (CuNA) is an independ- ent, non-profit organization work- ing for the advancement of econ- omic democracy through credit unions. It is entirely supported by the dues of its' member credit unions throughout North' America. number of our citizens. To tax credit unions on the savings made through this unusual public-spirit- ed volunteer effort would in; ef- fect be a tax upon the dedication and contribution of these individ- uals to the common welfare," Also, W. 0, Knight, Jr„ presid- ent testified that "bills intended to repeal this exemption have been introduced from time to time, but Congress-has declined to take act- ion on them, recognizing the un- ique, nonprofit character of credit unions."
