SOCIAL CREDIT
DEBATE IN THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT. REJECTION OF PROPOSED TEST. (Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) OTTAWA, March 31. In the House of Commons, the Social Credit Party’s no confidence motion, alleging that the Government had made no progress towards solvingunemployment, was rejected by 157 votes. The feature of the debate was the Finance Minister’s challenge to the Social Credit Party to establish a bank in Alberta, offering to assist Mr W. Aberhart (Premier of Alberta) to secure a charter. It would test the feasibility of Social Credit. The Social Credit leader, Mr John Blackmore, declined unless the bank were given the same powers as the Government-owned Bank of Canada — particularly authority to issue currency, not granted to a private bank.
