SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM

(Continued from Page 1)

DEPLORABLE SITUATION Never before in the history of the world has there been anything approaching the present deplor- able situation in regard to re- armament. Every Great Power 1s feverishly increasing ita · defence forces, and Britain's determination to spend 1,500. million pounds on a five-year naval, aerial, and failitary programme (equivalent. to about 25,000 milion Chinese dollars) makes one wonder what is to be the end of this wasteful expendi- Mr. Elliott said that social credit ture.

Mr. Elliott sald that social credit was actually started by Major Douglas of London and that in the .course of a speech, Mr. Aberhart declared that he had had many enquiries from Australia and New Zealand as to how the system was working.

In conclusion, Mr. Elliott said that social credit would be a very good thing if they could carry it out to the letter but he feared that this was impossible. One of the pre-election promises made by Mr. Aberhart, so Mr. Elliott said; was that a social credit dividend of $20 per month would be paid to every man and woman who has attained the age of 21 years. 80 far this promise has not yet been. ruiniled and he doubted very much whether it would be possible to do so..

In view of Mayor Wu's fine record in Shanghai, inany pubile bodies here have petitioned to the Executive Yuan urging that the mayor should remain at his pre- sent office.

Mayor Wu returned here late last night from Nanking where he interviewed General Chiang Kai- shek, President of the Executive Yuen, and Mr. Wang Ching-wei, Chairman oʻthe Central Political Couneli, concerning his impending transfer to Canton.-- Union News*,
