World Hoax Debate Opens Social Credit Convention
TORONTO April 4 Rev E G Hansell New Democracy MP for Macleod Alta said the world faces the most gigantic hoax in the socialist move to trade freedom for social security at the national Social Credit convention. The three day meeting aims to form a national Social Credit party to enter the next federal election with delegates from across Canada. Lucien Maynard Alberta attorney general was elected chairman as proceedings ran in English and French with a large Quebec delegation. Delegates honored the memory of late Premier William Aberhart and welcomed war engaged citizens while credentials agendas and nominations were set. A notable contention centered on having provincial delegates represent only their own Social Credit province. Mrs A Oddson of Winnipeg, active in Manitoba Social Credit, urged alignment with local work and was initially questioned before the convention upheld her Manitoba representation. This afternoon a resolution on Social Credit organization was discussed.
