ROAD OF PROGRESS.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —In all phases of man’s progress upward and onward —whether in science, mechanics, culture or warfare —the method of greater achievement has been gradual, step by step, ever striving for something a little bit better or more artistic than our forebears had, and so will be, no doubt, the solution of this present monetary mess—this maldistribution of acknowledged wealth —and to Major Douglas belongs credit for exposing the false teachings of our monetary managers as to where all values originate, and to the Labour Parties and humanistminded peoples who have been gallantly agitating for something better for our children. v We often hear and read of 'people sneering at what they call “monetary cranks,” Socialists, Bolsheviks, Communists, or any brain that dares to look for something other than the usual channel or system; but are not the same people agitating for new markets? Why new markets? Is the old market failing? Are they, too,'not wanting to make another step onward? Of course they are, and the monetary cranks are, and will succeed. Looking back over 11 fly years of struggle, 1 have seen many changes. Ever and anon have these changes been toward Bellamy's Socialism. They were started by that great Liberal legislator, 11. .1. Scddon, were arrested for a while by the "square deal" freehold swindle made possible by the gullibility of those very men who had been pul on the land by the Liberals; but they will soon reassert j themselves when another Oovernmenl j gel s on to 11 1 0 Treasury benches, and i the people will demand the right to control and issue their exchange tokens. Times are, and have been, iiard, and this depression has done more (actually) lo aeeenluale the necessity to change (to go one step further with tin's money business, lo . go one more step towards Socialism, equality; lo equal saerillce, to equal prosperity) Ilian any even I in my lime. It is pleasing lo read some of your farmer correspondents’ letters, for it proves that, the farmers are awake to Hie urgent need of throwing in their lot with a parly whose main planks are control of production, distribution and exchange—awake lo 1 lie fuel Unit then? I will be no more eonltseation Ilian at j present, and not as much if allowed |o j fimrlion humanly. .No one will lose ! anything— in I'acl, ail will gain. By i this simple ad of jiisliee lo the people j -ronlrol of our hanking system—the j na I inn. will have gone .”>0 per cent, onj ward, s(i per eenl. nearer the goal I lluil all people are striving for- | namelv, lo live at peace and good will

If instead of breaking up factions we were all to get behind the few humanist-minded men who fighting so valiantly for right and justice we would be sure of gaining that one onward and upward so Unit all pay have plenty from the cradle to mo crave. 1 wish you and your many conespondcnls the best of luck and pi ms parity in the coming year.—l am, eic., (J. ,F.
