Credit Reform

Many readers are new to the idea of credit reform; and they often wonder no doubt what all the shouting is about. The movement was started in 1918 by the publication of an article by Major C. H. Douglas in the English Review; and it was carried on thereafter in the New Age by Major Douglas and Mr. A. E. Orago jointly, in England. As a result of the twice seven years of work there now exists thousands of groups for and propaganda. There is scarcely a city, not only in England, but in the whole literate world, where a credit centre is not to be found. From Japan to South Africa and from New Zealand to Norway, the civilised world is honeycombed with groups and individuals intent on understanding the truth and making it prevail. Recently Captain Eushworth, M.P., delivered a preliminary address on this important subject of credit reform and on next Thursday night at 8 p.m. in the Opera House, Mr. A. E. Robinson, of Auckland, will continue the subject and deliver an address on the Douglas social credit proposals. Mr. Robinson is an excellent speaker and one who has a thorough knowledge of the subject. He will illustrate his address with the use of the blackboard and diagrams. His worship the Mayor (Mr. A. E. Hansford) will preside.
