We believe that, all Canada's rte can be, and should be, tremen oualy increased. We know, however, that disastrous results would follow any attempt to depend exclusively upon exports to one nation no matter how frwndly that nation may be. The 10m of our trade in wheat, lumber, fish, a plea, dairy products and the other t "ngs that we have been shipping overseas means more than a mere question of dollars and cents. It means a loss of business on the railways, in the seaports, and on the shi which have been carrying this tra e to the yvorld. It: would dialocate our whole internal trading organization and force serious readjustment-a of em- ployment with our railways and other transportation services. The Pliétagresaiviif (‘Jxpnadterwative Party p gee itse a op ev prac- tical means to and oureribtarnal trade with the nited States and with all other nations where we can sell what we produce. By reciprocal trade agreements we will promote and expand our trade overseas and also with the United States. Parti- cularly we will (a) remove all abnormal trade barriers impo by way of license, quota, or embargo; (b) remove the arbitrary provisions of the Foreign Exchange Control Act; (c) re-value the Canadian dollar within the limits permitted by the Bretton Woods agreement and seek such modification of those ag- enta as are necessary to per- mit our dollar to assist our exte

The g ‘ ‘ encourage ent to work, production and trade is the opportunity to receive a fair return from which money can be saved for our families, our homes and pro- vision for the future. Even with high earnings today,'our present tax system is making it diificult to save and is greatly increasin the cost of everything we buy. uction of taxes and sweeping reforms in our system of taxation are necessary to encourage initiative and reward hard work.

Cenirlbutery Social Security

Programme

The Progressive Conservative

Party puts forward a contributory

social security programme providing-

e o owing one I a amongs th f ll ' b f't t others: _ 1. Believing that provision for our senior citizens at a level of payment which will give them a feeling of independence in their retirin years is essential, we have stated t t we do not believe that old-a e pensions I 0U TE B 8B I BVOUI, l1 h id be g rded b t should be a right and that no charge should be made on such property as has been saved durin their work- ing years, nor should t ere be any enquiry as to whether some money is being earned _by the ram: receiving the pension. We eve that the laws of the_ ‘ y_ should not discourage savin during the working years and suc work as our pie wish to do in their old a e. m that reason we provide for o d- age, ' at65 ' ‘a“ est. ‘ 2. Unemployment Insurance benefits will be extended to include payments for time lost due to acci- ent or sickness.

3. Adequate medical and hospital care ' be provided for our people under a national health programme which will also include the most ex- tensive preventative health services.

4. The same family allowance will be paid for av child, no matter how many c 'dren are in the family, and the nutritional and other services for our children will be atly improved. _

hose, and other provisions in- cluded m o_ur programme, will be worked out m co-oparation with the provinces, so that the highly-skilled and experienced public welfare aer- vices o the rovmcial governments will be av ' able.

An Effective Programme for the Construction of Home:

1. Loans and priorities will be made available to those who desire to build their own homes. 2. Low- cost housing can, anclwill be pro- vided under planafipproved bytbe dominion, rovinci and municipal govemmen which will be adminis- tered by the municipalities. 8.

Our programme sate out a very complete statement of policy in regard to stability of income for our farmers. I will refer to some of the more important provisions: 1.

We favour the restoration of the Canadian Wheat Board Act of 1935 to serve as a marketing agency for wheat producers.
