SOCIAL CREDIT PLAN
ADVERSE VOTE IN ALBERTA EDMONTON (Alberta), June 27. The House of Commons rejected a social credit resolution, thus leaving the plan for Alberta in jeopardy. Mr Alfred Speakman, of the United Farmers' Party, moved to reorganise the Canadian financial system along social credit lines. Waves of "No's" from the Conservatives and Liberals rendered a recorded vote unnecessary. The Alberta Social Credit Party had planned to contest the next provincial election, but the House of Commons's vote dashed its hopes of securing Dominion permission to issue scrip as recommended by Major Douglas.
