Monetary reform
Sir,—Monetary reform will never be attempted by National, Labour or Bob Jones for obvious reasons. Any man in high office who has the courage to heed his conscience and step out of line usually has the intelligence to know that his action could jeopardise his prospects of a successful career. Cabinet Ministers are not simple-minded and know deep down all about the inherent evils in the financial system, but Ministerial office with its privileges usually puts a stop to any tendency to unorthodoxy. A Cabinet Minister — regardless of what party — quickly realises that the plums of office are his for only so long as he conforms to the present monetary system, so he becomes a defender and a supporter of all its ramifications. Eventually, when New Zealanders come to understand Social Credit and how the system works, they will learn what they are voting for. — Yours, etc., R. WILSON, Hokitika. January 23, 1984.
