About an hour ago I posted a truncated reponse to this question--truncated
because my keyboard suddenly and irremediably quit working. The mouse
seemed to be working when I clicked on 'send', however, so I hope my
partial text shows up pretty soon. I see that Don Bethune has gotten in
ahead of me with another comment on the same subject.
What I was about to say when rudely interrupted by mechanical failure, is
that Therese Tardiff told me that Louis Even had been converted to Social
Credit through a book by J. Crate Larkin of Buffalo, NY. I had just noted
that Even's essay on Guernsey money is also dated 1935, so one finger of
suspicion points at Larkin, whose book I have never seen. It is listed,
however, at the back of another book published in 1935, by Garden City
Press of Quebec.The advertisement says it has been reprinted many times,
and that the one offered is an enlarged and Canadianized edition by the
author. The book in wich the advert appears is also about money reform,
and among the other publications listed for sale is one by G.G. McGeer
titled "The Need for Monetary Reform". I have never seen reference to that
book in any other place, however, and I wonder if this is in fact a
pre-publication promo for "The Conquest of Poverty" which was published in
1935 by Garden City Press--after author and publisher had decided on a
different title? (Remember, McGeer was author of the famous "Lincoln
Monetary Policy".)
I haven't been able to pinpoint the geographic location of Gertrude Coogan
in a few Google searches this morning, but the simultaneous appearance of
three long-lasting money reform treatises from widely separated locations
in the same year suggests that all three were dipping into the same
well--so the story must precede them to some degree.
