Major Douglas is a sort of "Lenin of the conservatives," who belleves that to-day's troubles are due principally to a mere technical defect in the present system of In- dustrial economic bookkeeping, and may be remedied by a peaceful overturn of that system without disturbing private ownership or any of the rest of the system of production and social life as they are to-day except banking and money. Ho believes that privato production of goods is best for the world generally that inasmuch as has shown the ability to produce more than is required, it should be let alone. This is where be differe from Socialists, Communists, Fns- elets, and other ints who con- centrate their panacens on secur-
