Hello Ken,
I believe the 'Stoll' you mentioned is Sir Oswald Stoll, who was a
music-hall, and later, cinema magnate in pre- and post-WW I Britain. And
who established and endowed the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation to aid disabled
British veterans to access adequate housing. It still exists, and carries on
such work.
Stoll is mentioned in Chapter Ten of Douglas's "The Control and
Distribution of Production". From what's written there it seems he wrote a
series of articles on money and credit control that appeared in 'The Daily
Telegraph' newspaper in the early 1920's. The solution to the problem
advocated by Stoll was apparently quite the opposite from that which Douglas
was advocating. Stoll apparently was in the 'Producer' control of credit
camp, rather than a 'Consumer' control of credit advocate as Douglas was.
Douglas commended him for raising awareness about 'monetary reform', but
discounted his proposed solution completely.
Joe.
