Note to All Subscribers re Douglas's book "The Alberta Experiment"
It is indeed a very important work, being the communications between Alberta Premier William Aberhart and C. H. Douglas, first published in 1937 by Eyre and Spottiswoode in London. While it is always good to go back to originals, I would personally recommend the reprint by Veritas Publishing of Western Australia in 1984. This is an attractive paperback, not of the highest print quality through the text, but containing an eleven page introduction by Eric D. Butler and a nineteen page section entitled "A Background Picture" by the late L. Denis Byrne who Douglas sent in 1937, preceded by George Powell, from the United Kingdom to advise the then newly elected (1935) "Social Credit" Government of the Province of Alberta. Powell soon returned to the United Kingdom but Byrne remained as Technical Advisor to the Alberta Government and was highly regarded by Premier Aberhart until the latter's death in 1943. Shortly after, Denis Byrne fell victim to the destructive purges of more genuine Social Crediters orchestrated under the new Premier, Ernest C. Manning. Denis Byrne, remained until his death, however, a tireless advocate for Social Credit as Douglas had presented it. This edition of "The Alberta Experiment" is readily available for $12.00 each, postpaid, in Canadian dollars: Send a money-order for that amount to "Wallace M. Klinck", C.H. Douglas Social Credit, P.O. Box 3003, Sherwood Park, AB, Canada T8H 2T1 and the book will be dispatched promptly.
