The Mackenzie King Govern- ment is spiﬁlulll i" "l4 39"“! for the endorsement 0i ill Ill record. Let me emphasise than that Canada's war record — mili- tary and civilian - is not s Gov- ernment record. It is the rwbrd of the people oi Canada. irrespect- ive of party and creed, and it is e tribute to the Canadian people alone. The war record oi the present administration, from the beginning, is one oi instability, evasion and indecision. Were it not for the continual prodding. leadership and co-operation oi the Progressive Conservative Party. Canada's war effort would indeed have been a shameful one.

Says. . .

How can we expect that our fighting men and their depend- ents and orphans will be given a square deal after the war by s man who has refused to support them in matters oi ilie and death on the battleﬁeld? The anon in the armed forces are depending on you and me. here st ‘home, to place the safeguarding of their interests in the hand of those who are their friends and oom- radcs, men who know that their dependents end orphans ’ can be adequately cared for st the coat of only a few days of war.

We are determined that they should be properly cared for even if the cost were much higher. It

HOW n0 WE PLAN In!!!

._. By the run use of all our resources and productive cspccity: by fostering inter- national trade; by developing our banking and credit system. and by the 1M o! ti“ power and finances of the State in necessary public works.

WE WILL:

Help individual and lye-operative enterprise to increase Inplcyment by revising crippling tax systems, by removing poutrois and regulations which slow down the ex- pansion of legitimate enter-prise and by improving relationships between the Govern- ment, Labour and Management;

Increase our imports and export by keeping trade barriers as low as possible;

Bee that the powers cf the Bank of Oansda are used to supply mp1. "edit for en expanding economy; ‘

Undertake a carefully planned programme oi socially desirsblc proiecis. such ae low-cost rural and urban housing. rural electrification, conservation and reforestation, natural resources development-ell on a national‘ scale.

AID FOR THE FARMER

FARMERS must have their proportionate share of the national income.

We shell secure them this through a system oi prices determined and announced m advance of production. These prices will be based on a study of the moat recent fig- ures of national income. The study will show whether total isrm income constitutes a fair proportion oi the national income and, to the extent that it does not. prices will be adjused.

To the extent that freer trade. full production and full employment fail to pro- vide the farmer with a market in which he can buy and sell on equal terms with others. we offer a reasoned and logical plan oi full compensation, instead of the hit-and-mlsa devices for partial compensation, which have for years been followed in recouping farm- ers for the loss which they have suffered by selling in a free market and buying in a protected market. '

In co-operation with the Provinces we will let up s Dominion-wide farm rehabili- tation and soil conservation plan. '

We will re-estahlish a Natural Products Marketing Act.

We will consult freely with representative farm organizations and Agriculture will always have adequate representation ‘on Government Boards affecting farmers’ interests. - '

FISHING

WE BELIEVE fishermen, like farmers. are entitled to their fair share oi the National Income. ' WE PLEDGE OURSELVES: ‘

To enact legislation to assure our fishermen adequate basic prices:

To supply improved facilities so our great national home market will be fully de- veloped and served;

To promote international trade and obtain the necessary export markets.

TRANSPORTATION

IT IS ESSENTIAL to keep freight rates low and to prevent waste duo to the over- lapping of the railways. water carriers, trucks, buses and sir services. We will cc-cper- ate with public and private enterprise to create a fully developed system of transporta- tion in Canada designed to furnish the cheapest and most efficient service possible. We

_ are opposed to the amalgamation oi the two railway systems. believing that competition between them provides s more efficient service than a single great monopoly.

WE WILL SEE that a special effort is made to remove the injustices felt in the Maritime Provinces as outlined in the Duncan report and that other sectional injustices‘ also are rectified. _

WE WILL continue the development of our Government-owned ‘Irena-Canada Airways. We will encourage private airline systems. to live emPlﬂyl-‘ﬂtlli i0 0m‘ 111ml! and to speed up the development oi our country. We will see that Oanada plays her part in the development of international air transportation by means oi reciprocal agreements.

VETERANS

WE WILL SEE that all veterans are given a square deal. We will ensure that every veteran shall not suffer material lou because’ of war service. To this end. we propose:

Reinstatement into civilian life oi veterans on a self-supporting basis.

Provision at the country's expense of such training and sasistance as may be neo-

esssry for that purpose. '

Assurance that all disabled veterans are generously and adequately cared for.

Preference for veterans in public mployment and no considerations of political

letronage to interfere.

As a direct result of the continuous pressure in Parliament by Progressive Con- servative Members. some of the principles which we were the first to advocate have been enscted into law, notably-

Pensions freed from income tn.

Iurlough travel costs reduced.

Clothing allowance increased.

Department of veterans’ Affairs established.

Veterans’ insurance. Rehabilitation Innis. War service payments (celled "Ietuities" y the loveliest). There are many other important Principles "which we hue advocated and to whlchlwe pledge ourselves: Establishment of the “first in. fiset out" principle of damcbilisaticu. Protection cf soldier debtors against legal action. Elimination cf official red tape.

Revision oi the Pensions Act to provide adequate machinery and understand»

able benefits obtainable with a minimum of fcnnelity and delay. Pwmel" 01 ldtquate pensions or compensation ca the "insurance principle" in comers oi the armed fcsoas or merchant navy.

CO-OPERATIVES '

a TRUE CO-OPERATIVE is a union of individuals who have put money or goods into a business which they own. support and operate for their common inter- est. They may co-operatc in buying. selling. Producing or distributing. The true co-cperatlvc is accordingly part and parcel of a system of free enterprise and entirely inconsistent with the principles oi socialism.

WE RECOGNIZE the true co-operativo as a legitimate progressive business out». grise and pledge oursclva to give it the same fair treatment as any other kind of

usiness. -
