Susan Clifford Hugh Douglas was born in 1879. He was educated at Cambridge University, and was an engineer.

He presented his ideas to the Canadian government in 1923 before the Committee of the House of Commons on Banking and Industry in 1923. <http://www.mondopolitico.com/library/socialcredit/socialcredit.htm>http://www.mondopoliti co.com/library/socialcredit/socialcredit.htm Susan F.
