early Social Credit Influences
on william Aberhart

Charles Scarborough

Unsung teacher changed the history of Alberta
Charles Scarborough, a fervent Social Crediter since 1925
and who taught Chemistry at Edmonton's Victoria
High School. He convinced Aberhart to read
a book 'Economic Nationalism.''
by Maurice Colbourne. The two often
met while marking departimental exams in Edmonton.
In 1932, the appeal clicked 'on' in Aberhart's mind.
Read 1995 News Tribute - pdf



Charles Morton Scarbourough

Maurice Colbourne
Author of Economic Nationalism

The Author of Economic Nationalism was an
accomplished British Shakespearian Actor/Producer who also
authored many books and had an intense interest in economics.
He formed a drama partnership with fellow actor Barry Jones in
1928, and made drama tours of Canada and was well known
on the stage in Alberta. Economic Nationalism was also published
in 1928 and quickly sold out. A revised version was republished
under the name of The Meaning of Social Credit in November
of 1935 by the Social Credit Board in Edmonton. No doubt many
were curious to read the book that had introduced their Premier,
William Aberhart to the teachings of Social Credit.

1932: Anne Grey, Maurice Colbourne (1894-1965) and Barry Jones
(1893 - 1981) star in 'Arms And The Man', a screen adaptation
of the play by George Bernard Shaw, directed by
Cecil Lewis for Wardour.

Note: William Aberhart being a Creationist, would have
discounted the occasional reference by Maurice to Evolution
and would have upheld support of
Paul's reference to "If any man will not work, neither shall
he eat." in a way not hindering Social Credit
application of productive leisure.

"The public generally saw Mr. Kennedy as the mellow even folksy
chairman of Social Credit Conventions. But one source close to
the Ontario born former hardware company said he could be
'tough as nails' in meetings where work had to be done.
He could make a lot of people mad at him, but five minutes later
he would turn mellow again and feelings would be forgotten."
- Bob Bell - Edmonton Journal 1070's

The Social Credit Chronicle attempted to purchase
the Calgary Albertan to be a Party Newspaper in March of 1937.
Fed up with poor press coverage of the Social Credit government, the party attempts to buy it's own media, as early Province papers were often Conservative or Liberal.
Shares were sold to Social Crediters and a memorandum of agreement
drawn up. However, the depression economy prevented the completion
of the sale. Share Certificates and Memorandum - pdf

As such, it is Aberhart's last and most developed exposition of a Social Credit Plan to renew Canada after the War. Many areas of federal responsibilty are touched on. Broadcast nationwide on several stations
he speculates as to why sufficient credit and purchasing power are suddenly available to cope with the stresses of wartime, and yet were prededed by years of poverty and deprivation in the midst of plenty. This integrated plan was his plan to avoid such tragedy in the post war era
still 3 years away when he delivers these talks. He frequently asks for feedback and suggestions of capable men who would be able to represent these ideas federally

Aberhart's first exposure to Social Credit Theory came from reading around 1931-32, the first American priniting of the 1928 book under the first title, Economic Nationalism. The English Actor- Company Manager Colbourne, who had toured Western Canada, wrote in clearer and more understandable language than was used by Major Douglas and was probably more widely read in Alberta.

Aberhart faced in Alberta during the first 18 months of the Social Credit Government..

He covers valuable
insights that could only be
caught by someone intimately
connected with the Social Credit Movement in Britain.
He had constant communication by letter before Aberhart's death in
1943.
He later emigrated to Alberta
with his family to write
on the continued progress of the Social Credit Party, but passed away suddenly while
researching another book on
the Alberta Experiment.

(Contiuned from right...".We should get nearer and nearer to a balanced perfection as we grew fewer in number, until the last survivor - unemployed one day in two ( owing to his efficientcy as a producer and his inefficiency as a consumer) committed suicide, and a perfect balance of production and consumption was at last attained. The fact is that under existing circumstances man as producer, equipped with machinery and power, can provide far more than man as a consumer, with his limited money can buy, and possibly even more than man as consumer with his limited wants, can use. And this brings us to the Technological explanation of unemployment.

Quote Page118
"To regard an increasing body of willing workers as an intensification of the problem of finding jobs, is to overlook the fact that they are at the same time willing consumers. As such they should themselves provide the jobs they seek, unless, and it is a very big unless - an individual as a consumer is less efficient than the same individual as a producer. If this is so, the the exigencies of the situation would appear to demand the removal of that individual. The removal of his demand would tend to reduce employment to an insignificant extent, while the removal of his energy would relieve the unemployment market of one of it's human embarassments."
