"NOT FOR SOCIAL CREDITERS."
Sir,-I did not rub my eyes with any surprise on reading the one-sided comment appearing under the above head ing in ‘"Viewsreel." It would naturally catch a Social Crediter’s attention. "The Safest Place in the World" (for bankers) might very naturally find a place in a BBC programme, and the trend .of the item would be a foregone conclusion, The BBC could be depended upon to pleasingly spotlight the historical milestones of the Bank of England-how it averted a financial panic in 1745; how it withstood a siege in 1780; and so on, But if the Social Crediters listening to the programme impatiently switched off with "savage clicks," as your commentator imagines, it would be quite. understandable to Social Crediters the world over. They remember that no one would be given a chance by the BBC to mention over the air that the Bank of England had suspended payment from 1797 till 1819; that it had closed its doors four times, including in 1914, when the British Government had to rush to its desperate need with a deluge of resuscitation "Bradburys"’; or be-allowed ta repeat a statement by William Paterson, the founder of the Bank of. England in 1694-"The Bank hath benefit. of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing." The BBC shuts éut such ungarnished, and to the inpalatable truths, as it also does’ those ai can tell them.
