sents the liberal candidate g o fleming as a social credit advocate the posts editor dr e b wyllie who conducted the markham economist for a couple of years following the death of the late rj corson

is a social credit candidate in the south the people hero in the north are not conver sant with the facts and unless the post is putting him in an untrue light ho should lose no time in stat ing his

money tho above reference is from a re port of social credit meeting hold in the south one night recently this paper has no quarrel what ever with some proposals to improve our financial setup but not
