Real Social Security
or
Rati�ned Scarcity?
To the political and economic reactionary, Social Security is something to
be used as•a bribe to win votes — a sop to soothe unrest. Social makeshifts
of that kind are actually offered to -day as political substitutes for ` sound,
economic planning for the post-war reconstruction of Canada.
To the State Socialist, on the other
hand, Social Security is a bookish theory
seeking to prove that poverty would be
much more: endurable if only it were,
much more general.
And now, listen for a moment to
John Bracken, the forthright leader of
the Progressive Conservative Party:
"The State here in Canada, unlike in
Germany, is the servant of the people,
not its master. Finance, and economic
mechanisms associated with it, must
likewise be regarded as the servants, not
the masters, of our economy. The under-
writing of prosperity AND social
security is a proper function of the
State."
Notice how closely prosperity and
social security are linked together.
We are determined that Social
Security shall no longer be regarded as
a charity but as what it is—a social
bligation and national responsibility of
e vexy first magnitude and import-
ce. Social Security must grow with
'osperity—because the degree to which
ial services may be provided is deter -
ed by the size of the national income.
are pledged to maintain that income
a high prosperous level. It is against
is background of plenty for all, that
e Progressive Conservatives see
ocial Security.
The Progressive Conservative Party
is pledged to provide, without delay, a
uniform and comprehensive social
security programme for all Canadians,
including:
Extended unemployment• insurance
coverage.
/Adequate payments for the mainten-
ance of unemployables.
1/Accident and sickness benefits.
'/Children's allowances.
VMaternity benefits.
V Widows' benefits.
VRetirement pensions.
VIncreased old age pensions at age 65.
Vlncreased pensions for the blind.
Where any of these social services
are administered provincially, we shall
provide grants large enough to ensure
adequate standards of social security
for all Canadians.
Compare this positive and complete
programme with the make -shift ex-
pedients of other parties. No other
party can equal or even approach John
Bracken's guarantee of security for all
Canadians.
It's rational security—NOT rationed
scarcity.

-, the Farmer — was,
accepting the leadership,
of a great resurgent
people's, party., In ring-
ing tones he was speak-
ing of "The People's`
Charter". And the soul-
searching sincerity of
this man of the soil, with
his vision of Canada,
of Canadians and the
"world of plenty that lies within our grasp"'
was deeply moving.
Picture the background .of this man — this moment..
John Bracken, the farm boy, on his father's farm in.
Ontario, milking, haying, carrying in the wood, plowing
then young Bracken, honours student at the Ontario,
Agricultural College going to Manitoba as represent-
ative of the Department of Agriculture . on. to.
Saskatchewan as Superintendent of Fairs and Farmers'
Institutes and Secretary of the Provincial Livestock
Association' . . then, later, John Bracken, author,,
writing books about farms, farming, "farmers "
And now years later, in Winnipeg, John Bracken, th:a,
farmer, is speaking of "the right of farmers and other•
primary producers to a fair share of the nation's:
income." Notice the simplicity of the language he user„
. clear, concise — sincere.
"During the lastdecade," he is• saying, "farm income:
fell to such a low average as to become of very great.
concern 'in our Canadian economy. It is the responsi-
bility of the nation to see that this great inequity shall`
not be perpetuated." • ` •.
Then,suddenly his voice rises,..becomes even clearer.,. .
more incisive. "I may say quite frankly that if it had
hot been for that plank in yourplatform which pro-.
vides for a'square deal for agriculture, 1' would not:
be here." 0
Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, — again the same.
simplicity, the moving sincerity.
"'I am an agrarian," said John Bracken, "and I am a.
Canadian ... who seeks to correct the major social:
injustice of our day — the unfairly .small share of the
national income that goes to farmers and farm women
and farm .workers." Then, with a statesman's enlarge-.
ment of vision, he added, "When the injustice to the:
farmer is removed, the economy of Canada as a whole
will be strengthened."
No one could be less parochial in his outlook — more
deeply concerned with national welfare than John
Bracken, the farmer who embarked tweity years ago
on a career so successful as to be without precedent in
contemporary political history within the British Com-
monwealth of Nations.

ISN'T SO SMALL!
No fewer than 94 out of
every hundred establish-
ments in the manufactur-
ing, wholesale, retail and
services fields are small,
employing less than 15
people. Together they em-
ploy 37% of all the
workers engaged in these
lasses of business.
(From 1941 census)
Ordinarily one Canadian in'levery six gainfully employed,.
earns his livelihood in a "small business." It may be a
farm, a store or a lumber -yard; an architect's office or a
service station. Taken together, these individual enter-
prises provide a very substantial part of Canada's total
jobs—must continue to do so after the war.
During the years ahead many people who dropped small
business for war reasons will want to return to their
accustomed or new ways of making a living. Thus old
businesses will be revived. Many new ones will be
started by returned men and people now in war indus-
tries. The commercial banks will do their part to afford
assurance that no sound credit requirement need be
left unserved in the field of small business.
As such businesses grow, they create additional , job
openings; that has been the pattern of Canadian enter-
prises. Most large companies began in a small way.
And practically all could name some bank which played
a part in their growth by providing the loans they needed.
to finance their day-to-day operations.
