ALBERTA AGAIN
Sir,—The wonderful, economic and industrial progress in Alberta (apart from oil) is consistently ignored bycritics in order to follow the' only remaining method of criticism—half-, truths, innuendoes, parade of irrelevancies, which can only serve to create
an unfounded prejudice against this most shining example in the world today of state recovery and progress. The latest vain effort to discount Alberta appears in “The Press” of August 27 and 28, telling *us the Albertan system is not “Douglas” Social Credit Who is contesting that? Capital is made of President Aberhart having been a Bible student and evangelist. Irrefutable! Party tiffs are vainly magnified. Finally, the writer attributes Alberta’s progress to- tne oil boom, though Alberta had undoubtedly made her wonderful recovery from bankruptcy before the boom, despite every kind of legal verboten against her attempted legislative reforms—of whidh this wanton critic makes little. —Yours, etc., CANDOUR. August 30, 1954.
