Rev. W, E. Aldworth officiated. e The Constructive Platform of the PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE PARTY iN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. Approved in General Meeting at Toronto, July 3, 1943 ON JalY 3rd, an all day organization meeting of Progressive Conservative Party candidates and officials from all over the Province, held at the Royal York Hotel, listened with rising enthusiasm to a highly constructive and inspiring address from the Provincial Leader, George Drew. Mr. Drew presented a series of pledges to the people of the Province --each one of which was unanimously applauded. The pledges, twenty-two in number, constitute the platform upon which the Progressive Conservative Party eaters the general election. It was that programme which the Leader announced to the public in his radio address last Thursday night Mr. Drew said: 1. Westin maintain British institutions and strengthen the British partnership by every means within the consututioaai power of the Government of Ontario. 2. We will at all times work in effective co-operation with. the Dominion Govern- ment and with all other governing bodies in Canada In all activities which will assist in the prosecution of the war to a successful conclusion, and in establishing a sound basis of social security, health insurance and protection in their old age for all our people. At the same time we will insist that the constitutionalrights of the people of Ontario be preserved, and that the Govern- ment of Ontario exercise full controlof its own Provincial affairs. 3. The farms, the factories, the mines, the forests, and personal services which con- stitute thefive major groups of employment will be supported by appropriate legislation in their efforts to increase employment at goal wages. In every field of empinyment individual initiative will be encouraged and hard work rewarded by reducing taxes and removing bureaucratic restrictions. 4. Farming will beorganized in every county under committees of outstanding farmers who will be given authority to plan production and regulate the processing and distribution of their output. Cheese boards, creameries, milk distributors central pro- duce markets, and other marketing organi- zationswill be under the supervision of out- standingfarmers in each line of production. WILL TAKE OVER STOCK YARDS Stockyards w111 be taken over by the Government and operated as a publicly owned enterprise so that speculation ands manipulation may be stopped and fair prices assured. A conference will be called immediately of leading farmers from the whole Province to assist in drafting effective plans for the organization of food production, 5. Legislation will be introduced assuring the workers and employers of this Province the fairest and most advanced laws govern- ing labor relations, following an inquiry to be undertaken immediately. by a committee of at least 15 members to be known as the Ontario Labor Relations Committee, upon which there will be equal representation of labor, employers, and the general public. Recognizing at the outset the right to proper and enforceable legislation regarding collec- tive bargaining. this committee Will be asked to examine the laws dealing with -. labor relations in other countries and draft for Ontario an act which will establish that "The programme which the Progressive Conserva- tive Party in Ontario undertakes to put into effect is based upon the conviction that under a strong govern- ment the vast resources and producing capacity of this Province can assure employment and good wages for all who will work and security for those who find themselves unable to work because of sickness, unemployment, physical disability or old age, It is based upon the belief that the spiritual and material welfare of our people, now and in the future, can be best assured under British democratic institutions and within thewBratish partnership. The Progreesrve C-onsetvative Party undertakes to put the following programme into effect in the Province of Ontario. re. Ade Ptoriareame basis of justice, co-operation and reepon, ,- ability which is so necessary for the welfare and security of all our people. 6. The mining industry will be assisted in every way possible and placed under the direction of a Minister with practical knowledge of .mining. The tax burden will be lightened and there will be a more equitable distribution of the tax between the different taxing bodies. A larger share of the taxes will go to the Provincial aid Municipal treasuries. All restrictive mea- sures which deny prospecto a and others the inducement to find 500 develop. new mining properties Neill be repealed and. every encouragement will be given to geologists and prospectors to discover nevi' mineral areas. Every practical measure 'pos- sible will be adopted to expand this great basic industry so that it may offer the widest opportunities for employment when our armed forces are demobilized. LONG-TERM FOREST POLICY 7. Our vast forest resources, which under proper administration are capable of creat- ing employment for hundreds of thousands. of new workers, will be placed under the, control of an Ontario Forest Resources Commission which will operate under long-^ term policies of conservation, reforestation' and soil control. Immediately after its: formation it will review all existing con -- tracts and will cancel those which have disposed of great areas of forest resources" without proper consideration 8. An Ontario Housing Commission will be created to plan a great housing progrant throughout the whole Province for the purpose of creating employment in the period of readjustment and at the same time bring to an end the unsatisfactory housing conditions in many parts of Ontario. SCHOOL TAXES TO BE CUT 9. There will be a sweepingrevisionof our whole sistcm of real estate taxation so that the owning ana improvement of homes and. farm land, which are the very foundation of our soebety, will not be discouraged by excessive. taxation. As an initial step In ,bat direction the Provincial Government will assume tat least 50 Per cent of the school taxes now charged against real estate. It la, however, to be clearly understood that this change will not affect the authority of the local school boards. 10. Our educational system will be com- pletely revised so that every child in this Province will have an opportunity to be .. educated to the full extent of. their mental capacity, no matter where they live or what the financial circumstances of their parents may be. yocalional training will be made a much more important part of the school work, so that children may be prepared to earn a living by practical vocational instruction. The -important place of our teachers in each community will be fully recognized. 11. Steps will be taken to assure that every child 1s given the greatest possible oppor- tunity to face life with a healthy body and mind. Health measures will be established so that medical, dentalandother health protection will be available to all. 12. Steps will be taken immediately to prepare plans for great public undertakings will create employment in the period of readjustment immediately after the war. TO REVAMP HYDRO 13. The Hydro -Electric Power Commission will be removed from political control. Recognizing thatthe publicly owned Hydro -Electric resources of this Province belong to all our people, there will be an immediate adjustment of the rates for electric energy upon a just andequitable basis. The service charge in rural areas will. he removed. Power will be extended to farms with full recognition of the fact that food production in war is hardly less esent at to our success than the military ort. 14. Plans will be made for land reclamation throughout the Province, so that mil areas which can be brought into production will be fully developed. These plans will be drafted immediately, but the actual development of most of the areas will be deferred so that they can be placed under veterans' organizations in the period of readjustment. This will open wide oppor- tunities for immediate employment • when the war is over and wilt also offerto veterans and their families the chance to settle in organized groups in areas where their eco- nomic security can be assured. • 15. Taxation will be reduced and efficiency of Government increased by the elimination of all..Provinalul departments and services which duplicate those of the Dominion Government and are rot necessary for the purpose of preservingfundamental con- stitutional rights. • 19. An efficient and permanent civil service system will immediately be put into effect which will protect civil servants from political dismissal or interference, thus Increasing administrative efficiency by giv- ing to all civil servants a greater sense of security andpride in their work. 17. An legislation willbe repealed which denies any individual the right to defend his person and property before the courts. OLD AGE PENSIONS 19. There will be an immediate increase in mothers' allowances and old -age pentons in keeping with the increased cost of living. There will.be an immediate repeal of the • shameful provision that old people who have a home of their own, which they have established by their savings throughout • Ioag years, must dispose of that home before they will be granted the verytlmbted allow- ances which they are entitled to receive. In future the oto people who have played their part so well in making this great Province what it is today must not be forced to mortgage their homes before they can receive- their small pensions. 19. Adequatesupplies at reasonable prices of fuel, milk and other basic necessities will be assured by effective organization and administrative control. Representatives of labor, veteran organizations, and the con- suming ,public will be appointed to all boards dealing with these matters. 20. Men and women who have served in the armed forces willbe assured priority , in the public service and protection ,n their , employment. 21. During the war those who are in mili- tary service will be given legal protection against the economic consequences of their service. In all cases where the ability of those in military service and their depen- dents to meet their financial obligations have been materially reduced by such service, effective legal protection willbe given against seizure of property for arrears of taxes, forfeiture of instalment contracts, cancellation of life insurance Policies up to 510,000, judgments or other ' legal proceedings for debts Incurred before entering military service, sadother embar- rassing financial willl bubjeeco pro- visions, express condition that those able to nay will not be permitted to evade their oblige. tions by this device, and that just protection will be assured to creditors under simple and effective procedure before the court. This does not provide for cancellation' of obligations, but merely deferment with justice to au concerned. • SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN' 22. A rehabilitation and social security committee will, be appointedimmediately with instruction to draft plans which will .aasure social security for all our people,_and also provide for the rehabilitation and . employment of the members of our atmed forces and munition workers after the war. VOTE AUGUST 4 FOR THE Published by Progrofslvo Conforvauvo Polly of Ontario George Drew as I know him By George W. James Editor Canadian Statesman 0owmanville, Ontario, An Ontario provincial election is to be held on August the fourth. A duty now falls upon the weekly press. That is to make known to readers and resident voters the issues Involved. More than that. and equally important -as local editors are aware -the hardy, hard working, clear thinking, war con- scious farm people of Ontario want to know something about those who lead the parties soon to seek their support. Issues and controversy, as the campaign heightens, will be dealt with in the press in due course. The time is now opportune to say some- thing, without political bias, about' qualities of leadership. Personal history is a fair test of prospective performance. Let us then Introduce George A. Drew, Leader of the Progressive Conaervattve Party of the Province of. Ontario. His political opponents have sought to picture George Drew as a person aloof and visionary. Those of us who have come to know George as man to man, can deny that, He has vision, yes indeed! Vision of profound and practical character. He has• demonstrated that ever since he entered public life, and before. His exhaustive searchings ,and stern indictments have won the inarticulate respect of those presently in power: For he has forced corrective results. Often they have sought to disparage and intimidate him. His complete .fear. leafless and devotion to truth hive completely disarmed all opponents who dare meethim upon legitimate and proper grounds. George Drew isfirst and fo.emost a Canadian, yet deep and strong • and true for the ,British connection. He is 49 years of age. Hta•grand- father was a member of Canada's firat,parliament after Confederation.. George was'an officer In the Guelph Battery at zo years of age,enlisted at war's outbreak in 1914, was severely wounded In -19.16, spent many months M military hospital& George Drew entered public life 1n hba native city, Guelph, as as alderman. and at 29 became mayor of that city: I•Iis ad miniatrative experience bean.early and has con, • tinned througi, to his present posi- tion asmember of the Provincial Parliamentand leader, of the Opposition. But he • has gone .far beyond that. Holding tie, viety that public life demands the widest possible knowledge, George Drew' has travelled throughoutCanada has. established World contacts and Personally toured the British Isla during' the present war, .seeing, seekingand obtaining vital inhume.Hon affecting Canticle and the future. Outstanding is the fact that while overseas he made particularly' exhaustive enquiry into agricultute and ihtenlve production,' No other so deeply int Canada od anon.. Public and farmers shouldts be deeply Indebted forthe writings and speeches of George Drew since his return from Britain, touching the present and future of Canadian agriculture, Ile has acquired both the "grass-roots" and world view on Canada'% greatest, yet most neglected in- dustry. There is pleasure .indeed in o telling something of this man whose life course has shaped steadily toward atatesmauhhip; 4,
