DOUGLAS CREDIT.

Originator Satisfied with Tour. REPERCUSSIONS LIKELY. Well satisfied with his tour through New Zealand, Major C. H. Douglas, founder of the Douglas Credit Movement, passed through Christchurch on Saturday night on his way back to Wellington. “Not only am I very satisfied with the receptions I have received, but I think I am safe in saying that the results will be found in repercussions later on,” he said in an interview. The best indication which Major Douglas has witnessed of the growth of the movement in New Zealand is the amount of opposition which has been generated and expressed. He said on Saturday night that he took this to be a sign of real progress, for it indicated that a great deal of thought was being given to his ideas and it was proof of the success of his tour. He could not make any definite statement as to whether he would give evidence before the Monetary Committee which has oeen set up by the Government, stating that he would go into the question immediately on his arrival in Wellington. Naturally, he would be delighted to do anything that he could to assist the New Zealand Government. Reverting to his southern tour, Major Douglas was enthusiastic about the reception which he received in Dunedin. After spending a week in Wellington, he will go to Auckland and will sail on March 6 for Canada, where he is to give evidence before a Parliamentary committee there on monetary matters. He will also visit the United States on a similar mission, and will return to England about the middle of May.
