"The great man whose genius discovered and made known to the world the enlightening and far-reaching truth of Social Credit".
Scotland was the home of Major C. H. Douglas. But the photograph presented above is from a snapshot taken in New Zealand in 1934. Douglas had published his first book in 1919. Only a few years later, in spite of millions spent to silence his ideas on finance, his great vision, known as SOCIAL CREDIT, had aroused interest and gained enthusiastic supporters in many parts of the world, more particularly in the British Dominions.
The official organ of the Social Credit Secretariat, "The Social Crediter" (Liverpool, England), gives the following details concerning the circumstances where this photograph was taken:
"The happy incident in which Major Douglas participates occurred at Christchurch, New Zealand,on February, 13, 1934, at one of the four Civic Receptions given to him in the Dominion during his tour of that year. He is in the act of shaking hands with one of the pipers, thanking him and telling him how good it is to hear the fine Scottish airs.
"At Wellington also, the pipers serenaded Major and Mrs. Douglas, and led them to the Town Hall, through the hall and on to the platform — the Council Chamber, where such receptions were generally held, being too small for the large and enthusiastic gathering.
"The two other Civic Receptions were at Palmerston North, reported in the newspapers as the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in that town, and at Dunedin."
In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world. We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations. The reader will come to understand that "crises" are created and that when governments attempt to get out of the grip of financial tyranny wars are waged.
An Efficient Financial System, written by Louis Even, is for the reader who has some understanding of the Douglas Social Credit monetary reform principles. Technical aspects and applications are discussed in short chapters dedicated to the three propositions, how equilibrium between prices and purchasing power can be achieved, the financing of private and public production, how a Social Dividend would be financed, and, finally, what would become of taxes under a Douglas Social Credit economy. Study this publication to better grasp the practical application of Douglas' work.

The Social Dividend is one of three principles that comprise the Social Credit monetary reform which is the topic of this booklet. The Social Dividend is an income granted to each citizen from cradle to grave, with- out condition, regardless of employment status.Rougemont Quebec Monthly Meetings
