l W. CHESTER s. McLUliE l Candidate for Queen's County Says... Prince Edward Islanders at 110ml and abroad are particularly 91'1""! of the magnificent enlistment rec- 0rd of our young men and women in the service forces in this war. 1t u the highest pcroentuo ll I" Canada, and it has been from the very start of the war although it I only recently that we succeeded In getting recognition of this fact from the Mackenzie King Govern- ment at Ottawa. It will be the first solemn N- gponsibility of the Progressive Conservative Party, when rciuned co power, not only to insure that accurate figures of enlistmr-zz; by Provinces are obtained, but that everything possible will be done in the way of rehabilitation of our returning war veterans, llld o! prompt and adequate considera- tion for their dependents. The Mackenzie King Govern- ment ia appealing to the elector! for the endorsement of ite war record. Let me ercphuilv ti!“ that Canada's war record — mili- tary and civilian — is not a. Gov- ernmcnt record. It is the record of the people of Canada, irrespect- ive of party and creed, and it is I tribute to the Canadian People alone. The war record of the present administration, from the beginning, is one of instability, evasion and indecision. Were it not for the continual prodding, leadership and eo-operation of the Progressive Conservative Party, Canada's war effort would indeed have been a shameful one. iii WING COMMANDER J. axons lvlnénnnlv, p. F. c. , I Candidate for Queen's County 1 Says . . . How can we expect that on!’ fighting men and their depend- ents and orphans will be given I square deal after the war by a man who has refused to support them in matters of life and death on the battlefield? The men in the armed forces are depending on you and me, here at home, to place the safeguarding of their interests in the hand of those who are their friends and com- rades. men who know that their dependents and orphans can be adequately cared for at the cost 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 is therefore our responsibility to ace that their future interests will be in the hands of their friends and not in the hands of a man who has already left them “holding the,bsg” in the hour of their greatest perils. - ltiatirnethatyouandl." thinking Canadians, rduae to submit longer to the vaciliatlng leadership of a man who has continually. in this war, refused to place the country's welfare ahead of personal interest. After all. Canadians are entitled to a leader of whom they can be proud in any circumstances and in any company. AND ITS CANDIDATES ___IN__ Prince Edward Island we MEAN to see that ml-y Canadian cittaau able to work has the opyortualw to work st fair pay. HOW D0 WI PLAN THIS? . .... by the full use of all cur resources and productive capacity; by fostering inter- national trade; by developing our banking and credit system. l“ b! i110 u" 0! m. power and finances of the ltaic in necessary public worh- WE WILL: Help individual and oc-ovniivo cutllpriso to increase cmsloyuwt Iv Mills crippling tax systems, by removing controls and regulations which slow down the ex- pension of legitimate enterprise and by iinpmvinl relationships bvl-wwi tho Govt!»- ment, Labour and Management: Increase our imports and export: by keeping trade ba-rriora u low as possible: Bee that the powers of the Bonk of Canada are used to supply ample credit for on expanding economy: Undertake a. carefully planned programme cf socially desirable proiooto- luck ll low-cost rural and urban housing. rural electrification. conservation and reforestation, natural resources development-ail on a national scale. AID FOR THE IARMER FARMERS must have their proportionate share of the national income. We shall secure them this through a system of prices determined and announced m advance of production. Thus priced will be based on a. atudy of the lost recent fifl- urea of national income. The study will show whether total farm income constitutes a fair proportion of the national income and. to the extent that it does not. prices will be adjused. Tc the extent that freer trade. full production and full employment fail to pro- vide the farmer with s market in which hc can buy and sell on equal terms with others, we offer a reasoned and logical plan of full compensation. instead of the hlt-and-mis-s 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. f In CO-OPCIBHOII with the Provinces we will set up e. Dominion-wide farm rehabili- tation and soil conservation plan. We will re-establish a Natural Products Marketing Act. We will consult freely with representative farm crganilationa and Agriculture will always have adequate representation on Government Boards affecting farmers‘ intersts. FISHING WE BELIEVE fishermen, like farmers. are entitled to their fair share of the National Income. WE PLEDGE OURSELVESI 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 1'1‘ IS ESSENTIAL to loop freight rates low and to prevent waste due to the over- lapping of the railways. water carriers. truckl. buses and air services. We will co-oper- etc with public and private enterprise to create a fully developed system of transports- tion in Canada designed to furnish the cheapest and moat efficient service possible. We are opposed to the amalgamation of the two railway systems. believing that competition between them provides a more efficient service than s 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 sud that other sectional injustices also arc rectified. WE WILL continue the development of our Government-owned Trans-Canada Airways. We will encourage private airline systems. to give employment to our airmen and to speed up the development of our country. We will see that Canada plays her part in the development of international air transportation by means of, reciprocal agreements. VETERANS WE WILL SEE that all veterans are given a square deal. We will ensure that every veteran shall not suffer material loas because of war service. To this end. we propose: Reinstatement into civilian life of veterans on a self-supporting buia. Provision at the country's expense of such training and assistance as may be nee elssry for that purpose. ' Assurance that all disabled veterans are generously and adequately cared for. Preference for veterans in public ulpioymcnt and no considerations of political otronsge to interfere. As a direct result of the continuous pressure in Parliament by Progressive Con- servative Members, some of the principles which we were theifiret to advocate have been enacted into law. notably- ‘ Pensions freed from income tar. ' Iurlcugh travel conic reduced. Clothing ‘allowance increased. Department of Veterans’ Affairs established. Veterans‘ insurance. Rehabilitation Innis. Wsr m-vioc payment (called “Intuition” by the Covarnlcut). Th" m may other important principles which we have advocated and co which we pledge ourselves: / Eistablishrnent of the “first in, Halt out" principle of demobilization. Protection of soldier debtors against legal action. Elimination of official rod tape. y Revision cf the Pensions Act to provide adequate machinery and understand- able benefits obtainable with a minimum of formality snd delay. Payment of adequate pensions or compensation on the “insurance principle” in the event of death or disability of members of the armed forces or lnerdhant navy. Acceptance of recorded condition of personnel on enlistment an sufficient proof in determlnlns di-ilbility pension. Any subsequent deterioration will b0 assumed due to service. Benefit of doubt will be given to veteran. SOCIAL SECURITY W" W"!- wurc Protection against unemployment. sickness. accident. old ago by the following action. Where social services an administered provlnoially we will provide grants largo enough to ensure adequate standards of social security to all Canadians. We will extend the application of present contributory unemployment insurance and make protection against‘ unemployment a Dominion responsibility. ’ We will introduce a Dominion-wide contributory retirement insurance plan. Until the benefits available under this plan are adequate we will increase the amount of buie pension to at least $30 per month and lower the age limit to l6 for both men and women. We will modify the regulations so that thrift will never again be penalised. TIIE HEALTH of a Canadian in any one province is as much a matter of vital national concern as the health of a Canadian in any other province. TAXATION WE BELIEVE that every citizen of Canada should bear his share of the to! burden required to meet the cost of all public services, in accordance with ebiliiy to pay. WE WILL frame our tax policies so as to stimulate greater employment and the ' expansion and development of industry. natural resources and external trade. WE ARE opposed to the principle of more than one tax ca the same income. Ind We Will remove. as rapidly I8 possible. the present unfair double taxation of in- come. TAXATION REFORM W¢ W111 1'8"!” Ind iimnlify the present obsolete and unscientific tar struc- ture and consolidate the tax collecting authorities. We will, for those in the lower income brackets increase the income tax exemp- tions to permit a higher standard of living. ~ We will see that the power to tax is returned tc Parliament. rather than left in the hands of officials, so that the taxes borne by the people are those imposed by their elected representatives. CO-QPERATIVES A TRUE CO-OPEIIATIVE is a union of individuals who havfput money or goods into a business which they own. support and operate for their common inter- est. They may co-opcrots in buying. selling. producing or distributing. The true ce-opel-ativc is accordingly part and parcel of a system of free enterprise add entirely inconsistent with the principles of socialism. WE RECOGNIZE the true co-operative as a legitimate progressive business enter. prise and pledge ourselves to give it the same fair treatment ac any other kind of business. PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE DCREED “Freedom - Security - Opportunity and the British Partnership?" FREEDOM-Freedom i.s founded on a sense of responsibility to Cod and a belief that all men and women have been endowed by Him with individual worth and dignity. Being equal in importance before Him, they should be secured in equality of oppor- tunity under the law and in the full exercise of the democratic liberties and rights which have become the heritage of free men. SECUEIT! — Freedom will be a reality when social security and human welfare become a fundamental objective of the nation. Freedom from want and freedom from fear are essential to a happy and normal family life. Want and fesr must be banished and security brought within reach d all Canadians. , - OPPORTUNITY - The prosperity of the Canadian people depends on our cro- ativc capacity. individual initiative. our energy. determination. sad willingness to work. Gainful occupation for all is c primary objective of Progressive Conservative policy. We affirm our faith in the future of a. United Canada. Our notional resources under progressive development can be made to provide s high standard of living for all Canadians and for a larger population drawn from pcqlo whose in- telligence and love of freedom will fit them for a democracy in the British tradition. THE BRITISH PABTNEBBIIIP — We affirm our loyalty to the ling and our faith in the British partnership. We accept the responsibilltlm together with the benefits of this partnership. The guarantee of freedom, security and opportunity for Canadians will be found in the strengthening cf the British Commonwealth in closer association with the United Btatea of America and our other fighting Allies and in the application of the principles d the Atlantic Charter.
