REVOLUTION OR

REFORM ?"

LORD MELCHETT'S ABLE BOOK

NEED FOR Parliament OF INDUSTRY

**Revolution or reform is the keynote of a remarkable book on modern financial and economic pro- blems by Lord Molchett, published under the title "Modern Money (Martin Socker), "..

Lord Melchott, whose fathers, the Aret baron, was responsible for the famous Melcbett-Turner conversa- tions, is a director of Imperial Che mien industries, Anthracite Col lieries, Barclays Bank, and many other companies.

Coupled with is scathing attack on present-day methods, Lord Melchets makes interesting proposals for:

Anbw-double-currency system; Payment of the National Debt; Settlainant. the American

debt;

The creation of an "Economic Council with supreme control financial in industrial and matters," "The whole monetary scheme," Lord Malchett declares, is not only sound but unworkable. It presupposen a regular continuance and attic condition of trade. This

does not exist.

Lord Irwin, President of the Board of Education, discussed the scheme with Alderman Rowlinson, the President, and officials of the Aasoolation, and promised to give it earnest consideration...

The Association urged that, as the education of every secondary school scholar, whether free place or fee-paying," is subsidised, a standard entrance text should be imposed on every child to ensure as far as possible the entry of the best type of scholar.

Mr. Jackson, replying to the prin cipal toast, expressed the hope that the club would never join the Foot ball League. It would, he said, be contrary to the principles of the club, and he would rather see it, go down with flag flying.

He appealed to all Public School boys and amateur clubs in general to rally round and do everything possible to save the club, and sug. gosted the formation of a golf wee

It is not only our duty to re- form the economic system, but if we do not, the people will make them- selves responsible: That way lies disater.'

Now Double Currency.

Lord Melchett suggests, as the basis of the double" currency, the [sovereign note to be used for intern- |al purposes and the pound sterling for foreign exchange. Légal tender to £1,000 only in would be up sovereigh notes, aid above that a guaranteed choque on any of the ten clearing-house binki,
