THE COMING OF COMMUNITY By W. T. Symons
Tr anyone wishes to know about the Social Credit Move- ment associated with the name of Major Douglas (The Corning of Community, by W. T. Symons, Daniel, 7s. 6d.) they should certainly read this book. They will discover, probably to their surprise, that the Social Credit Movement, from being a peculiar and obscure heresY in 'economies, has become a philosophy of life, has married Dr. Adler's type of psychology, and has an application to every side of life. Briefly, its adherents consider that the class war is unnecessary, although a revolution is essential. They reconcile this remarkable view by an economies which declares that the poor can all become rich without the rich becoming poor. They justify this claim by' pointing out the extraordinary productivity of modern industry, which they consider is only cribbed, cabined and confined by a false monetary system. Mr. Symons is an intelligent man, and although few will agree with his main thesis, many will find interest and stimulation in his comments on the world that we live in.
