Show PllOGUESSIVE OPINION EDITORIALS By C. N. LUND More of the Confession of World Banker Last week we quoted from Vincent C Vickers, former governor of the Bank of England. His confessions are found in his book, Economic Tribulation. He wrote for the sole purpose pur-pose of contributing to the welfare of humanity, and to show the existenee of a world-wide conspiracy which has so strangled strang-led the productive capacity of mankind wilfully and c iminally creating poverty and fomenting wars forits profit. This financial finan-cial power is behind all the governments of the world and its shameful enslavement of people everywhere is the real cause of all the trouble today. But a power is at work to smash this order and to dig a grave for the plutocratic loan-finance system. It is non up to the peoble to do their utmost to de velop a new financial economic s .'stem co take its place. Mr. Vincent goes on to state: "I', the progress of time we have permitted the money industry gradually to attain a political and sconomic influence so wide and powerful that it has actually undermined the authority of the state and usurped the power of democratic government and is entirely outside the control of the government govern-ment and operaied by an outside individual section of the community, not for public good but for private profit.' |
