"THE MYSTERY MAN"
"One of the Masses" writes in reference to a recent article on Sir. Montagu jSiprman, Governor of the Bank of; England.' ~ "It shows 'us a ■ great ■ man in "., charge :of a machine which he admits will not work, in spite of all the 'spare parts that 'can be used. It is likea first-class engineer trying to get good results from-, machinery which is well worn and out of date. The engineer would replace'the machinery with a machine thatis. new and up to date, and this if what-is badly;-needed with' our money system. Henry Ford has this to say about money: 'Our greatest,delusion is money, it exercises a strange magnetism on most minds.' . In itself a mere conveyor system, a short cut in the barter of goods between man and "man,-'a'moving stream on which should float the commerce of the world, it has been made,the symbol of power over, men and the strangulation -of exchange.';, Ford has everything to lose and nothing to .gain by making the above statement.' -.1 think we are approa'ehihg a new era, and eventually we ■ shall see some modern system- of barter taking the place of our..-monetary 'machine."
