Security for your WORK
Here are some of the definite, practical steps
taken by the Liberal Government to give seem -
thy to home and family be assuring well-paid
post-war jobs for everyone:
For Veterans. — The most generous plan of
any United Nation to get returned men started
in the type of work each of them chooses. The .
Liberal Government is determined that every
man and woman coming home to Canada shall
return to the land of greatest opportunity in
the world.
For Workers -. About a third of all Canadians
depend on exports for their livelihood. Liberal
plans provide for increasing our exports 60%
in value over those of 1939.
_ For Formers «- Acting on the belief that all
Canadians prosper wben farmers do, the Liberal
Government has arranged that they can -im-
prove their forms and equipment under a new
teas plan and has arranged to put a floor under
the prices of farm and fishery products.
To stimulate employment for all, the Liberal
Government bas created a special Department
of Reconstruction%vvhich is now in operation
and which will co-ordinate private and public
enterprise:
Security for your HOME
The Liberals believe that the home is *hothead
of the nation. They aim to give Canadians every
possible facility to build and furnish better
homes! With Government assistance you can
build a home in the country; town or city. This
will make jobs for the building trades, and those
who make building supplies --and those who
manufacture household equipment and fur-
niturea
New Homes for Canadians. - The Liberal
Government's ' new $400,000,000 National
Housing Act, now on the statute Books, enables
hundreds of thousands of Canadians, to get
money at low interest and on long, generous
terms ter build, renovate or enlarge their own
homes. Now that Germany is defeated, plans
are already in operation for at least 50,000
dwellings,
Other practical, workable measures for the
security of your home are the Liberal Govern-
ment's laws for Unemployment Insurance and
liberal Old Age Pensions. ."
The Liberals believe in doing what can be
done, as soon as it can be done. If returned to
power on June lith, they will carry on and
expand the sound, constructive work already
started.
Security for .your FAMILY
Family Allowances ---Starting in July, parents
who benefit least from income tax exemptions
will receive Family Allowance cheques every
month to help them get better food, clothing,
shelter and education for their children so they
can grow into healthy,;' vigorous Canadian
citizens. These cheques will amount to between
$200,000,000 and $250,000,000 a year: As
direct spending power, this will do much to
help in achieving the Liberals' obloctive of,
full employment.
Health - A- National Health Plan will ensure
that everybody shall be taken care of while they
are sick and the best measures medical science
can devise shall be employed to prevent disease.
Despite the efforts of;prew, Bruce, Bracken
and other reactionaries, the Liberals are deter-
mined that human interests, the needs of men,
sisal) be placed before "business as usual".
The Liberals have faith in Canada, a united
country, and in their ability to continue to
build,. with your support, a more abundant
life and greeter opportunities for Canadians.

gaits already made, Vote for your- Liberal, candidate on June 11th:

—these things still stand for a pleas-
ant way of life—a way of life our men
overseas have . been fighting for!
They won't' ke able to come back to
these simple things, unless we get
"down to earth" in our thinking, and
snake 'sure when they do come back,
their dollar will be worth a dollar!
To protect that dollar, we must
realize now, the dangers of careless,
unnecessary buying! We ..must buy
only what we need --never buy two.
where one will do! We must not
evade rationing or price control, or
deal in black markets. If we break
'these rules, our, country—the country
our soldiers fought for --will start
on that spiral of prices knowna, as
inflation.
And inflation: affects everyone .: a
wage-earner, pensioner, small-busi-
ness owner, returned soldier,! That's
why it's important to take a stand
against it now. If inflation starts in
this country, this is what will, happen.
Prices will rise. Wages will "try to
follow along—and will never quite
catch up! Soon your dollar—your
soldier's dollar—may buy only 25%
of the things it used to! That is what
has' happened in amany of .the
countries of the world today, and
that is why normal living for anyone
is impossible in those countries!
So let's make sure our soldier's
dollar, when he gets back, will be
Worth "a full dollar. We cannot give

youth. But if we keep .up the fight
against inflation, the man who is

in fighting inflation:
By observing rationing and avoiding

By respecting price controls and other
anti-inflation measures, and re -
