SOCIAL CREDIT NEW CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED To an audience of about 2000, Mr. John Hogan, Dominion organiser of the Social Credit Movement, declared at a meeting in the Town Ilall last night his movement's confidence that a postwar or any other slump was absolutely unnecessary. "Our statement that there shall be no slump," said Mr. Hogan, "is our challenge to economic defeatism. The physical factors for permanent prosperity will still ho with us; abundance will still be ours; but the people of New Zealand must wake up and see that the financial limitations and restrictions which have caused slumps in the past are swept away. In the past we have had no technique for handling abundance, but out-dated financial methods which have used destruction io live."

The speaker declared the intention of his movement to be "to organise the irresistible mobilised will of the people." The movement did not intend to present electors with another string of Parliamentary candidates, but it was launching a campaign to organise people to bring such a pressure to bear upon Parliament that they could see that everything necessary was done to achieve permanent security after the war.

The deputy-mayor, Mr. J. L. Coakley, presided. The Rev. A. J. Greeiw wood proposed a vote of thanks, which was carried with acclamation. Subscriptions were raised at the end of the meeting to support the movement's campaign.
