Compulsory Exchange
To Bear Heavily on
u. S. Creditors

EDMONTON, Alberta, April 8
G.N.SO.-CompulSory conversion
into low-interest consolS Of Al
berta's $160,OO0,000 public debt
drew closer today as the legislation
moved into the committee stage of
It's passage through the provincial
legislature.
The refunding bill, sponsored by
Premier william Aberhart's social
credit government, is expected to
receive third reading and Royal
assent by next Tuesday at the
latest. 1t will then become law. but
under the terms of the drastic bill
it will be effective only upon pro
clamation of the provincial cabi,
net.
That proclamation is expected
quickly to follow, In view Of the
social creditors battle with the
dominion government and the
PROVINCES default Of . $4,000, 900
bond maturity last Wednesday.
Much Held in U. S.
The provincial debt to the do
minion is $25, 900 900. At least SIS
per cent of the $3.50, 900, 900 funded
debt is represented by securities
held in the United States, mainly
by small investors, it was revealed
today.
The measure empowers the so
Cial credit government, swept into
power seven months ago on plat
form promising AlbertanS a
monthly social credit dividend"
payment of $25, to redeem any
security it desires with the non
maturing provincial stock, and to
pay whatever interest it desires on
the stock providing that interest
Is at least 21a per cent.
In the meantime, Aberhart'S so
cial bonus is a complete flop"
Aberhart has almost abandoned
the idea, for the time being at
least, and there is to be no pre-.
liminary registration Of the peo.
pie who could benefit by the
scheme.
Economists Mystified
Not only has Aberhart found
the proposal unavoidable, but his
chief adviser, Major ]. H. Doug
las, creator of the idea, now re-
fuses to leave his English home to
help Aberhart fulfill his election
promises.
How Aberhart ever hoped to
pay the dividends is a mystery to
economists. To pay the minimum
bonus he promised would cost
100 million dollars yearly and the
only income available to pay this
was Is million dollars. He could
have evolved a vast taxation sys-
tenn which, all agree, would nave
crippled business and, as the con-
sumner would have to pay the
higher levies, the bonus under
social credit would have been
wiped out by higher costs.
Another money-raiSing method
open to Aberhart was to issue
money, but under Dominion law
he cannot issue money or scrip
which is any good outside the
province. This means that Alberta
merchants, buying most Of their
goods outside the province, would
be unable to pay for them with
the money they received in their
stores.
Guarantees Refused
So the Social Credit Government
in Edmonton has deferred the
paying of bonuses and has turned
to more pressing problems, chief Of
which is to rescue the province
from financial ruin!
For some time Alberta has been
paying its way only with the aid
of loans from the federal govern.
ment. Alberhart- had to admit
Wednesday that the province,
without funds, was forced to de-
fault on a bond issue. This be-
cause the Ottawa government was
unable to guarantee loans further
to provincial governments.

At last she stopped digging. The
sand had fallen away SO that she
could see that there WAS something
