Major Douglas Thinks Danger is In- conceivable, Ottawa, April 26.--That the 'world is heading for the most dire disaster that the mind of men can conceive unless there is a change in the exist- ing banking and financial system was the prediction made by Major Doug- las, author of the "Douglas Credit Scheme," before the Banking and Commerce Committee of the House of Commons. : The trouble centred, he declared, | about the attainment for individuals | of a reasonable store of the goods and services they see about them. There was no difficulty in producing all the goods and services that wero desired. If that had not been proved before it was proved during the war. As to the possibility of agricultural production, that was proved by the fact that the subsidence of Russia as a grain producer had hardly made any difference in the price of wheat. On the one side, Major Douglas pointed out, was the Doesibility of rroducing to meet all demand. On 1 the other there were a large number | of people who barely got the of subsistence. ---------- Alexander Marshall Ferguson, Brockville, died on Monday after a brief illness, aged forty-five years. if means The late Mr. Ferguson was born a: | Smith's Falls.
