SOCIAL CREDIT
At a recent public meeting of the Dunedin branch of the Social Credit Movement, Mr Lind spoke on some aspects of Western civilisation which branded it as an artificial rather than a natural, organic development. The present war, he said, had revealed, as did the last war, the large number of medically unlit men, and there was surely something wrong with our civilisation when, with all "the knowledge of modern science, medicine, and dietetics at our disposal, there should be such a high percentage- rejected. One of the main reasons was tho wrong habit of eating. For a long period food hud been produced for profit rather than for the nutrition of the individual, and had been tending to get further and further away from its natural state through devitalising and refining processes. The first stop towards the living of simpler, healthier lives was to restore to the individual economic independence. This must moan the bringing into being of the Social Credit State.
