SIR,—The Very Rev. Archibald Main appears to be willing to
attribute to the bankers a degree of infallibility which he would not allow to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Yet, by- accepting the-bankers' advice before the war, the Government blundered on front -disaster to disaster and eventually found itself •compelled to take -the-appalling risks of 1940. It is not too much to say that in the past the opinion of the financial experts has proved to be completely wrong.
Most churchmen would applaud the Archbishop's venture into the province of banking and credit. They even find it possible to welcome the challenge of Social Credit to traditional methods, pointing out that it is always open to the bankers to refute the Social Credit Party's con- ventions, should they wish so to do. Apparently Dr. Main believes that this challenge can lead only to conflict and dissension. Perhaps I need not remind him that Truth does not come to bring peace, but a sword.
