A- EDITORIAL Sue Us Mr B In an article on the front page of The Vancouver Province of July 5 Mr John DeWolf criticized the conduct of British Columbias finances by its min minister � ister of finance and premier Mr VV A C Bennett In the next days edition of that newspaper Mr Bennett is reported to have ridiculed reports that he was having trouble getting credit and called them pipe dreams Of The Provinces story making these claims he is reported to have said I wish he the writer would make a bold statement like that because I would like to sue him It is not true The Citizen makes the following statements whether bold or not we leave to our readers to determine Should Mr Bennett wish to sue us we shall be glad to give him the name of our solicitors who will accept service on our behalf of any process he cares to issue Mr Bennetts administration of and reports on the finances of British Columbia have been deceit deceitful � ful because while boasting of the reduction and discharge of the public debt the government and party which he leads has caused this province to guarantee immense sums borrowed by public institutions until the obligations of the province thereunder exceed in the aggregate the sum of any of its commitments at any time in the past The conduct of Mr Bennett his government and the party which he leads has since last August ceased to be misleading Its recklessness has now become apparent and to me disparagement of the credit of British Columbia He has committed tills province and indirect indirectly � ly to use a word Mr Bennett has made familiar its population of much less than two million people to expenditures which make his former extrava extravagance � gance seem parsimony He has provoked adverse criticism from inform informed � ed Canadian and world opinion which is concerned perhaps less with British Columbias loss of credit in the money market than with his autocratic though unsuccessful attempts to forbid access to the courts to those who believe they have been wronged by behavior for which Mr Bennett is primarily responsible There is an old and ominous doctrine of fiat money which declares that all currency whether gold paper or leather derives its efficiency from the official stamp it bears and a government may relieve itself of its debts and make itself rich and prosperous simply by means of a printing press It was put in practice by John Law it was refuted by Turgot it has broughl ruin wherever it was adopted Heretofore it has been the recourse of ministers of finance driven to desperate measures It remains for this province to produce the Janus like person personality � ality of the premier and minister of finance with one smiling face beaming toward prosperity around the corner while his other and sombre visage seeks temporary expedients to avoid disaster Hplff1 t BBSpP ISiBI rWBBW m L KWSWMvi- PREMIER W A C BENNETT man of many faces CIRCULATION UP 2000 Library Growth Tremendous By FRANCES
