Science and Society
Sir, —To-day’s leader makes interesting reading, but it does seem disappointing that you should wait till public opinion almost demands that you voice the opinion therein expressed. Social Creditors, Labourites, monetary reformers and even religious organisations have pointed out the folly of poverty to-day and demanded that the fruits of science—the cultural heritage—should be available to the people, and with few exceptions have had an intolerant Press to fight against it.
Major Douglas, Professor Loddy, Hat; tersley, the Dean of Canterbury, the Poire, long ago pointed out the right of the people to the gifts of science and the
utter inadequacy* of the present economic system —they are “currency cranks,” “monstrosities,” and everything the Press and its banker friends can call them, but when Sir Josiah Stamp voices their sentiments he is the hero of a tolerant leading article in your journal. To say more would be superfluous. — I am, etc., DEMOS. Wellington, April 26.
