MR M’KENNA ON MONEY
Sir,—ln a tribute to the late Rt. Hon. Reginald McKenna, presented in a news item on Saturday, Mr Crump, city editor of the “Sunday Times,” says that Mr McKenna before he died “repudiated most strongly the modern heresy that the banks create money out of nothing and profit by this creation," It may be significant of our approach to a new world order that the discovery of Copernicus that the movement of the heavens was really due to the rotation of the earth almost coincided with the discovery of the New World by Columbus. Those who upheld the Copernican “heresy,” including Galileo, thereby challenged the authorised teaching of the Church and in consequence drew upon themselves the wrath of the Inquisition.—Yours, etc., ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY. January 8, 1944.
