DOUGLAS CREDIT
DIFFICULTIES IN ALBERTA BETTER CHANGE IN NEW ZEALAND Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, June 7. On his return from a tour of Canada as the honorary secretary of the Dean of Canterbury, a New Zealander, Mr W. E. Dunningham, said that there were many difficulties in the path of the Douglas Credit followers in Alberta because their credit was vested in the Federal Government at Ottawa. “ However, people are right behind Mr Aberhart, even if they are a little impatient,” he said, “ and I am confident that if there were another election in Alberta to-morrow Mr Aberhart would go back. British Columbia will be the next State to try out social credit. New Zealand, I think, has far more chance of success in its venture than the provinces of Canada, where every forthcoming election will be fought on the platform of monetary reform.” Mr Dunningham has been working with Dr Hewlett Johnson (Dean of Canterbury) and the Association for the Abolition of Poverty, which has worked in co-operation with the followers of Major Douglas.
