Two Letters from Ontario

THEIR FIRST SOCIAL CREDIT MEETING

Niagara-on-Lake, Feb. 21, 1956.

Dear Sir:

We held a Social Credit meeting on Monday February 13th. This is the first Social Credit meeting in our district. And we are trying to get organized in Lincoln County. We had Mr. George McLeod, M. P., from British Columbia as our guest speaker.

I was given two copies of your Social Credit paper (January and February 1956). Would you please send me two dozen (24) copies of the February 1956 issue. I know that it would be of benefit to educate new members in regard to the Social Credit platform. We would appreciate any advice you could give us from your experience in organizing Social Credit units.

Yours truly,

JOHN J. POLLOCK

WHEN THE TABLE IS OVERFLOWING

Toronto, Ont., Feb. Ist., 1956.

Dear Sir:

A few days ago, someone asked: "Supposing the Douglas proposals established (a democracy of consumers served by an aristocracy of producers), would not those doing the work resent the fact that they did all the work while many others lived at ease?" And this question has cropped up before.

As it would probably be some time before it was realized that many of the others occupied their leisure time in creative work which ultimately would be of benefit to the community and much of which would be paid for, it might be as well to attempt to answer this question by observing what happens at a picnic. Only a few people do all the work, yet seldom, unless they overdo it year after year, do they become as perturbed as was Martha. Their only reward is the appreciation of their associates, many of whom are comparatively strangers, and the satisfaction which comes from serving others to their satisfaction.

The atmosphere, in a community that was making use of its own social credit instead of allowing someone else to walk off with it, would be much the same, the only difference being that those providing the services would be comparatively highly paid and some of the others, might wish they were able enough to handle similar work.

The important point to keep in mind is that the table is overflowing — there is lots for all – gluts of wheat - gluts of butter — wide open spaces — plenty of lumber — plenty of machine power — plenty of manpower. All that is needed is a few figures properly entered in a book and a just and honest money system open at all times to public audit and inspection. As Douglas wrote:

"The industrial machine is a lever, continuously being lengthened by progress, which enables the burden of Atlas to be lifted with ever-increasing ease. As the number of men required to work the lever decreases, so the number of men set free to lengthen it increases."

Yours truly,

K. L. McCUAIG

Who are the true rulers of the world ?

In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world.  We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations.
