13dltpr, The Liberal, Bear Sir:â€" The banquet of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society held on Tues- day night proved to be very much more than a good entertainment. In- e-ed while listening to the chief weaker, Prof. Drummond, there were imes when the tables and dishes r3emed out of place, for it was not ifficult to imagine that the assem- ly was gathered in the auditorium of the church instead of the banquet 22111 and that the speaker was in the Pulpit instead of behind the head iLble, of such an elevated character MB.

I am afraid too that the similarity to a church ser- vice will be carried still further, in that the listeners having heard a good sermon will promptly walk out, praise the speaker, and forget all about it. The purpose of this article is to remind not only the farmers who were present but all of us that the speaker left a very definite chal- lenge to us. First: he left no doubt at all in our minds that in his opinion the conditions which we so deeply de- plore have not been corrected and will not be corrected by just sitting by and waiting for the scheduled re- covery which we are told on every hand always comes after depressions as surely as sunshine follows rain.

(Prices subie Government taxes, license That is something that needed to be said, and needs repeating. ubiect to change r Second: he reminded us that we would each have to take our share of responsibility for conditions under 'which we live, because in our coun- try we are the Government. The Government always has a most effi-, cient sound recorder reaching to the remotest corner of the Dominion, and as soon as the reverberations from the country become loud enough, they act, and not until then. It is therefore the duty of each individual to use his own powers of study and reason and to discuss his conclusions with his neighbor, and if necessary in public, and unless the premises on which democracy rests is false, out of such thinking and’ discussion will ultimately come our solutions. Please note that the speaker did not demand that we all agree with him. He did demand that we all think and study, and talk. As citizens, What? are we going- to do about it? None1 of us can shirk our responsibility for our conditions. Ignorance is not recognized as an excuse in law, not is it in economics. I do not hesitate to say that I am astonished at the mental apathy of a large body of our cultured and educated citizens who refuse to do l any serious study or thinking on this ' suvbiect. because they claim it is a snecialists job, and! blandly dismiss ,the subject by branding- those who; do tackle the job as cranks and nuts ;etc. I submit that this is scarcely either a courageous or christian at- titude. of specialization which has been of almost unbelievable benefit to effi- ciencv in individual enterprise to in- clude our thinking, then surely only the stainthood of our leaders can i save the country, and how many of. us are willing to rely on that? This' is what we have done in the past and Prof. Drummondl reminded us that up to the present in the history of the world the solution has been revolution. The alternative to solu- tion by revolution is correction by the democratic way of free thought, If we extend the principle‘ ONTARIO THERE’S NO DELAY WHEN YOU ORDER A NEW CHEVROLET Coupe delivered LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO nd Ire swer to this question the sneaker merely: made suggestions for thought. I venture to say that I believe the answer is yes. providn'ne‘. (and this provision is all important) the peo- ple. the voters in fair majoritv agree study and discussion by all our citi- zens, and it seems to me discourag- ing find this action neglected by those mOSt capable of following it. Now having accepted Prof. Drum. mond’s challenge I am forced in the very acceptance to disagree with one of his assumptions and to point out what seems to me an important omis- sion in his analysis. I cannot see how any one can visâ€" ualize an overproduction of goods and services in the world‘ so long as millions of our people are with- out the ordinary amenities of civil- ized life which all people desire. Why should we assume that because all our people have enough porridge to: 1maintain life, and enough sugar and! flour sacks to keep them from per-i ishing‘ from cold. that we need no‘ more? If all the Lazaruses could have half the various material 1 things that all the Dives have surelv there could be no overproduction, and if men could‘ properly distribute all the products of their labor why could this not be so? Speaking in England just last week, one of England’s pro- minent financial men, I think it was Reginald Mc. Kenna, stated! that he couer not ’think of overproduction un- til all our people had all their wants sunnli-ed. Can any one visualize when such a time woukl arrive? Prof. Drummond asked the ques- tion: Can monopolies be controfled, and can competition be restored' un- der an exchange economy? For an- on the necessary action ami demand it of their Government. Widesm-ead thought and discussion among- the peonle will bring about the ae’ree- ment. I believe it is aJhunv’wantly clear that all mononolyfwhich re- stricts competition is the direct re- sult of the primary inononoly mant- ed to our chartereti banks of the right to issue 95% of all instru- ments of exchange which serve as money: in exchanging goods. I hasten to explain that I do not; blame the banks nor the bankers. They are operating a business, just as I am, for profit. Our past Governments have given them a privilege I do not enjoy, and it is my fault if I submit to such discrimination with- out protest to the Government which is supposed to represent me as well as the banks. I also hasten to affirm that I re- cognize that the backing for most of this money is the property of the people for whom the money is is- sued, and that I believe the banks discharge their duty under our pre- sent arrangement remarkaibly well. Nevertheless they do issue the money of our country. They are granted the exclusive right to such issue, and the possession of this right is the rbasic monopoly which permits the creation of all other monopolies. Reâ€" store to the Government the exclusi- ive right of issue of all instruments of exchange used as money, and de- structive monopolies could not come into bring. Is this not an astonishing situa-l tion; money is positively} essential for modern business, and yet. one of tha COTY‘WStlth’Q hnsiresses of the! “country is given the right to issue} that money when and where it is, most profitable to i’rsel-F. It would; be just as reasonable to give to all private shipping company! the rightl to control all our waterways. ; Now the stock objection to anyl proposal of Government issue of alll money» is that it makes our business! life subject to the whim of the poli-i ticians. and if I thoueht this would be true I would: object as well as| any one, but it would not be true,’ any more than it is true at present.l If money is essential to the transac-l tion of business, then it is perfectly} easy to devise scientific rules under‘ which it should 1be issued to mainâ€" tain such business. and! these rules could not be subject to political in- terference any more than our laws are interfered with by the judges who administer them. I am not of course referring to the banking ’business or the grant- ing of loans or borrowing or lend- ‘ing money. That is most certainly the proper sphere of the banks. I am merely talking 0f the is:- ‘suance or manufacture of suf- ficient money to.kee.p all our people employed and keep business going. Surely that is properly the duty of the Government, and the British North America Act, gives the Gov- ernment that right. This service is now performed by the chartered banks. Only after the money is in existeice, d‘oes private banking ser- vice properlyv come into play. the ing ing the PRIMARY EASTER PARTY The‘Primary Department of Richmond Hill United Church holding ’rheir Easter party in r Sundav qchool room on March _» holdifig ’rheir Easter party in the Sunday School room on March 27th from 3 to 5.30 p.m. All mothers and children of the Primary and Cradle R011 Departments and interested friends are very cordially invited.
