Bjerring, who briefly dealt with money matters and the monopoly of credit by the banks. Premature cancellations of loans, said the speaker, often leave goods stranded on the market, with no money with which to buy them. Later it was shown on the blackboard how credit would be .scientifically recalled under the Douglas system as Uiy goods were consumed. Following a discussion it was announced that Mrs W. T.
