Of House

QWAWA. Aus. 2—(CP)— n. national executive of the C.C.F., "Pill"! the main lines of attack the only will follow in Parliament this fall, today called on the Gov. erhlrlcnt to fulfill "its lavish prom- ises on social security and charg- gdl that the Canadian economy is

e n! unwlsely shackled to that of the United States.

I" miklh! Public three resolu- tions. adopted at a post-election meeting here July 30-31, the party’; board of strategy:

1. Urged the Government to reconvene the Dominion-Pro- vincial conference on recon- lsltructlon and present it with new proposals on taxation and social security."

2. Accused Finance Minister Abbott of echoing the Wall Street Journal in declaring that the United Kingdom trade crisis is an internal Bri-

tish problem ond that inter- national conferences won't help.

‘I 3. Called for an immediate bold, comprehensive program for subsidized low-rental hous- in! initiated rind financed by the Federal Government."

The executive sold "Liberal QDokcsmen made lavish promises regarding full employment. na- tional health lnsurance and im- proved old age pensions" during the election. Their huge majority an obligation "to take swift action."

The Dominion-Provincial confer- ence should be recalled. A program of public expenditures to maintain jobs. plans for national hcolth in- surance and provision of old ago pensions without-means test: all required immediate attention.

The executive said the people await "immediate and decisive“ Government action on low-rent housing.

A program should be drafted and presented to a Dominion-Provin- clal-Munlcipal Conference. "Trif- llng with small-scale experiments and handouts to private enterprise would be n further betrayal of the desperate hopes of many families.

The executive said Canada's trade future "is becoming increas- ingly precarious" with farmers nl- ready losing markets and workers losing jnhs.

The Government was tying the economy "hand and foot to that of the U. 5., the country whose evo- numy is competitive with ours and where serious unemployment has already appeared."

Survey Shows No Increase In Size Of Families Under Baby Bonus Program

By MEL SUFRIN

OTTAWA. Aug. 2—(CP)-—Can- adals baby bonus program is out of the toddiing stage, having just passed its fourth birthday, but there's no sign of the increase in size of families that was expected to result from it.

Whcn family allowances were introduced in 1945. many persons predicted the program would en- courage larger families.

With the exception of a sudden jump in the birth rate between i945 and 1046. there has been com- paratively little fluctuation since the inception of baby bonuses.

The 1945-46 increase is attributed to the fact that many families, broken up by the war, had been reunited. resulting in an unusual rise in the birth rate.

The difference in size of famil- ics between 1947 and 194B would appear to be a fair basis of com- parison.

ln 1947 there were 3.042.000 fam- ilies in Canada and the average size was 3.7 persons per family. In 194B there were 3,088,000 families with the average size Bil-just. one-tenth of a point higher than the previous year.

During those two years the size of families in all parts-of Canada remained the some with the ex-

_ coption of Quebec where there

was an increase from 4.3 to 4.4. ulCtifi-t-inucd on Page s Col. o)
