Experienced Leaders are VITAL for VICTORY In six months of war the Mackenitie King Administration has set an unprecedented record of gelling things done without fuss and fury. Under its steady leadership, Canada has gone ahead on all fronts—war, economic and domestic. With clear heads and with feet on the ground, this group of purposeful men is making every ounce of Canada's weight felt in our fight for freedom. What it has done has been done thoroughly: there has been no loose thinking; no half -measures; no waste of Men, money or materials. Some of the Mackenzie. King Administration Wartime Accomplishments It united Canada as never before- Every province is, heart and soul behind the Empire's war effort ;his time, thanks to the Administration's truly national policies. The First Division, completely equipped, has been sent overseas to a Mother country prepared to receive it. Great Britain's war financing problems have been lessened through the co-operation of the Canadian Government. War Contracts totalling well over $100,000,000 have been placed, stimulating every branch of Canadian industry. Canadian employment has bit an all-time high owing to these orders and to good in- ternalThe Second Division is recruited; equipped business conditions, • Armament deliveries are approaching full - speed: aeroplanes, Bren guns, tanks, artillery accessories, ships — all coming forward in impressive quantities. Large purchases of Canadian wheat, — preventing a serious wheat glut — have been arranged through a special mission sent to London by the Mackenzie King Administration. 5,600,000 pounds of bacon will be shipped to Great Britain each week, as well as large quantities of flour and fish. Huge shipments of steel and other mate- rials essential to the conduct of the war have been arranged for. and ready to go over. The great Empire Mr Training Scheme— sponsored and mainly financed by Canada, has been launched on a planned and ordered basis. Naval Defence for both East and West Coasts including Air Force, Mine Sweepers and Convoying, has functioned efficiently since the outbreak of War. Of it, a Senior. British Naval Authority has said: "No finer work is being done anywhere by the Royal Navy itself." Price Control of all commodities, including such vital necessities as wool and sugar, has been established, with prices pegged low for the poor man. The profiteer is out, and will be kept out—in marked contrast to the free- for-all of the last war. Shipping Control and Foreign Exchange Control are firmly established on sound lines and are functioning smoothly and effectively. A $200,000,000 War Loan was over -sub- scribed within two days of its launching, a record that proves public confidence. Its reasonable rate of 31/4% contrasts with 5t/ % tax-free rate of the last war. Political and Private Patronage has been stamped out: merit is thesole basis for selection or promotion in our armed forces. Make Your Vote Support Canadian Unity Such a record simply didn't just happen. It resulted from the efforts of a strong adminis- tration working on behalf of a country united in all its parts as never before. And this singleness of purpose—conspicuously absent in 1914—is due to the vision, understanding and drive of individual Canadian and Empire - minded Statesmen who back the Empire's participation in the war with their eyes wide open and with full determination to play their parts to the full. We appeal to the people of Canada for the support which is essential to carry on and complete a task, the groundwork for which has been laid carefully, soundly, wisely - . . with foresight, determination and resolute courage. On March 26th show your faith; vote for the Candidate supporting Mackenzie King and help make sure there can be no break in Canada's steadfast stand in these critical times.
