REMOVE TAX-MASTERS

'It is tlrne to take the unrepent- ant tax-mast . off the backs of the Canadian people."

Mr. Diefenbaker made no spe- cific promise of the amount of a tax out-

And although he described as "meagre and nlggardly" the re- cent 36 increase to M6 monthly in the old age pension. he said only that a Conservative government would set the amount at a figure high enough to meet the needs of recipients. with subsequent adllist- mcnts tied to the cost of living do not think that Can- dian people are.asking for politi- cal carpentry for vote purposes. They ask for leadership that will give them a lift in heart and is motivated by a desire to serve."

Text of his speech was issued to the press before delivery.

NEW NATIONAL POLICY

The Conservative leader pro- posed "a new national policy" aimed at opening the northland. encouraging tabllshment of new industries to process Canada's re- sources and preserving for Cana- dians "the control of our economic destiny."

Foreign-owned assets in Canada amount to 8940 for each Canadian. it was not strange that Canadians were beginning to wonder how long Canada could continue a sep- arate exlstence with the growing dominance of foreign-owned busi- ness.

At the annual meetinl of he pr-mg. County Welfare Le gr-e held last night in the meeting room of the Civic Auditorium. the Hon. Paul Martin. iollowins his ynaln meeting in the auditorium visited the group and spoke briefly to them- He congratulated them on the work they were doing and said that there is no more important way to an example of Christianity and good citizenship thlh to take part in the work of social service.

In the kind of society we live in today." he said. "much of the workihathssbeendoneinthe past-by the church, by the neigh- hors. and by other organisations can no longer be done." He said that since it was the first concern of government to aid the people. then the government must see to it that in their efforts It does not discourage private voluntary ef- fort. He pointed out that a govern- ment cannot do everything for the people along these lines and so there is left a wide range of effort for voluntary social workers to do their part. He commended the goup for their efforts alonl N118

The guest speaker Mr. Wilfred Driscoll of Charlottetown was in- troduced by Dr. Roy Grant who first commended the president for the great amount of work he had accomplished during the year al- though he was himself a very busy professional man.

Mr. Drlscoll dealt with the dut- ies and the activities of the Calh- ollc layman and of the various ways in which he can assist in the work of social service not merely by contributing funds but by ac- tlve participation in the work. He pointed out the danger of merely contributing funds and being then satisfied that he had performed the necessary works of mercy.
