ITEMS OF INTEREST. ■ —«? MONETARY REFORM, ADDRESS BY MR H. ATMORE, M.^ (Special to Times.) There was an attendance of fully 300 at the Peace Memorial Hall, Cambridge, last evening, when an address on monetary reform was delivered by Mr H. Atmore, M.P. for Nelson. The speaker spoke on the lines of his recent address at Hamilton. Mr Atmore, who was given a fine reception and a most attentive hearing, strongly supported the. monetary reform advocated by the Douglas Social Credit movement. The speaker i trenchantly attacked the existing banking system and criticised the Government. j

At the conclusion of Mr Atmore’s address the following resolution was carried unanimously: “That since under modern scientific conditions productive capacity is unlimited and since the existence of indigence and unemployment throughout a large portion of the population demonstrates the fact that the present monetary system is obsolete and a hindrance to efllcient production and distribution of goods, in the opinion of this meeting the Government should take Immediate steps to bring in the necessary economic reforms to enable the people of the Dominion to enjoy the benefits to which their present (productive capacity entitles them.” , The meeting closed with votes of thanks to Mr Atmore and to Mr C. H. Priestly, who acted as chairman. i
