the national convention of the conservative party assembles there is going to be plenty rof speculation- and a host of rumors about who is going to be ithe leader oil jv rthifc party now that mr bennett has announced his retirement political friends and opponents alike realize v that the dominion is losing the ser- tlcea of r a statesman of great talents sincerity and patriotism who has made notable contributions to the develop ment of canada as a nation and who 1 hold a place of honor in its his- tory when for all his dynamic en ergy the condition of his heart forced him to turn over the reins of leader ship to other hands the duty devolv- ed on his followers to find the man most capable j receive the reins dr imanlon and mr denton massey are pranged among the favorites in public estimation for the race but the field 1b large and hazarding a guess at this atage would be a fruitless venture tine national council of the party will during the next few months carry through plans for organization will formulatganfi- put into shape planks tor their platform and do various other kinds of prehminary for the convention the main work of the convention will be thecholee of a federal leader from the list of as- tyrants social credit in parliament while social credit in alberta has i received a body blow from the deci sions of the supreme court the little group of social creditors in the com mons have given notice through their leader mr blackmore that their aim 4s the establishment of their system in the doninlon even their most ardent admirers will acknowledge that the road they are taking is a thorny one as far as the constitutional is- oe goes the dominion parliament under its banking and currency powers could of course pass laws similar to those adjudged by the court to be outside the competence of the provincial legislature the diffi culty confronting the social creditors in their high adventure is not a con stitutional one it lies in the problem of persuading their fellow members and the majority of canadian cltl- ns that their doctrine is a sound one and should be adopted by the do minion in the recent debate in the com mons on a motion of lack of confld- ence mr blackmore expounded the social credit doctrine in relation to the canadian financial order if a social credit government were in pow- 7 er in trie dominion he said cana dian banks would be told to remove poverty from canada if they said they couldnt experts would be ap pointed to aid them currency and credit should be issued in terms of public need goods and services the productive capacity of the people should be the backing for the issue of money state created money was needed to add to the purchasing pow er of the people the social credit viewpoint was explained eloquently butquite irrespective of whatever may be of genuine and practical value in theory- the divergence between the two theories of finance represent- ed by those taking part in the debate was so deep and vital that there would appear to be no ground or meeting or compromise the government position as explain er by the minister of finance mr is jiing was that social credit theory hkda fundamental fallacy and that was the assumption that a deficiency in purchasing power always existed he claimed that the positive devices advanced by social credit such as the national dividend were frankly infla- tlonary inflation he said was the most unjust and unwise system taxation ever devised inflation would benefit only the astude gamb ler not the people it was intended to benefit the solution of canadas economic problems rested in his opin ion in an increase in the material wealth of the nation not in the adop tion of a different yardstick for meas uring wealth or in plundering one class for the benefit of another the finance minister pointed out that the bank of canada a government con- jlled institution was charged with e duty of regulating currency ana edit in the best interests of the
