Constructive Proposals
In Public Interest
Speaking over the C.B.C. network Friday
night, July 16th, Leslie M. Front, M.P.P.
for Victoria and Haliburton, one of the
outstanding Progressive Conservativemem-
bers in the Ontario Legislature, emphasized
the fact that the 22 -point program recently
enunciated by George Drew, Leader of the
Progressive Conservative Party, was the
product of extended consultation with his
followers; and that it was unanimously
adopted at a largely attended meeting of
party candidates and officials from all over
Ontario held at the Royal York Hotel on
Saturday, July 3rd.
Not only this, said Mr. Frost, the plat-
form given out after that meeting was the
natural sequence and outcome of construc-
tive proposals made in the legislature by
Mr. Drew and his associates. Ever since the
war began the Opposition, led by Mr. Drew,
has at each session put forward a series of
resolutions conceived in the public interest.
These proposals. added the member for
Victoria and Haliburton, have been either
voted down at the instance of the Liberal
Government or declared out .of order by a
Liberal Speaker.
On February 15th, 1941, the Opposition,
submitted a resolution, calling upon the
Government to move for a conference of
representatives of the Dominion and of all
the provinces for the following purposes:
To adopt such measure by inter -provincial
co-operation as may be necessary.
(a) To assure the greatest war and post-
war efforts.
(b) To meet emergencies created by the
war.
(c) To assure adequate prices for
agricultural products.
(d) To protect the established rights of
labor.'
Andto devise plans for the rehabilita-
tion of the members of our armed
forces and for the re-employment of
civilians who may be thrown out of
work by postwar industrial readjust-
ment; and to consider such other
questions relating to the welfare and
security of the people as may be
deemed advisable.
Voted down by the Liberals including
Mr. Nixon.
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING
The advisability of planning beforehand
for postwar recovery was again pressed upon
the House by the Opposition in a resolution
which read:
That the proposed St. Lawrence
development and other public under-
takings throughout the province, in the
opinion of this Legislature, call for the
immediate creation of an Ontario Town
and Country Planning Commission,
with authority to recommend and
supervise plans for the reconstruction,
reclamation. and development of rural
and urban areas.
This and similar Opposition proposals
were voted clown by the Liberals, including
Mr, Nixon.
ECONOMY URGED
In the same session the Opposition, in,.
pressed by the need for economy in the
administration of the province, brought in a
resolution:—
That the estimates for the current year
be referred back to the executive council
with instructions to decrease the total.
amount' of supply by $25,000,000.
This was turned down by the Liberal*,
including Mr. Ninon.
FOREST eiSouer.eS
Later on :Mr. Drew's followers offered a
reaointia,, demanding that the administra-
tion and control of the provincial forest
resources be placed under the direction of a
public body to be known as the Ontario -
Forest Resources Commission, after the
manner of the Ontario Hydro Electric

The Press Endorses Progressive Conservative Platform
DREW PLANS A DYNAMIC ONTARIO
(Essex County Reporter, Kingsville, Ont.)
Social security, full employment, and
economic planning are prominent topics of
the day. George Drew's approach to the
discussions forms a stimulating contribution
Ontario's planning problem, according
to George Drew, is not a static one, but is
dynamic in character, designed to develop
to the utmost our Nature -given potentialities
. his view at first may sound like old-line
thinking, but one must admit that his ap-
proach is more than an echo of Laurier and
Macdonald. He adds something new . our
planning for the future must be dynamic.
DREW APPEALS TO THE BEST IN ONTARIO
(Ottawa Journal)
For the Progressive Conservative Programme
offered the people of Ontario by George
Drew, one thing must be said at the outset:
It is that here at least is a pronouncement by
a public man who reveals understanding of
the gravity, and the faith and hope, of our
times . . , He (Mr. Drew) offers us a pro-
gramme within the framework of freedom;
a programme that must -appeal to Ontario's
tradition of individual independence and
self-reliance. He would have government
control and superintendence for the citizen;
he would not subject men to the deadening
hand of bureaucracy, nor plan us all into
puppets under drill sergeants of the state.
That he leaves as it should be left to the
Socialists of the C.C.F.... No Ontario leader
in years has advanced a more progressive, a
more humane, or a mote hopeful programme.
DREW'S GREAT SOCIAL DOCUMENT
(Toronto Globe and Mail)
Progressive Conservative Leader, George
Drew has raised the present campaign far
above the picayune things of the little poli-
tician.' By it all the carping, all the sneers,
the inuendo and the petty slander of his
critics were swept aside. In that address
George Drew has given the people of On-
tario a great document, the finest social
document in Ontario's history; one which
should be read, studied and thought upon by
every citizen ... Point by point it is a massive
thing. Even in the skeletonized form n: ;
it is a dynamic and constructive programme:
Almost every point offers a practical approach
to fundamental problems... It is essentially
a programme of work, a. series of roll in-
tegrated steps calling for the creative use of
all our resources and aH our skill . , . George
Drew is publicly pledged to these 22 points.
What is more, he is pledged to implement
them with the guidance and assistance of the
chosen representatives of each group directly
concerned.... If some concrete evidence of
the genuineness of the Party were needed,
there is the record. Many of the records of
the points Mr: Drew itemized in his address
are not new. He has offered them to the
Legislature of the Province and as Opposition
Leader offered to assist the Government in
carrying them out.
TO THE RESCUE OF REAL ESTATE
(IVindsor Star)
Mr. Drew proposes that the Ontario Govern-
ment, if he is called upon to form it, will
assume at least fifty percent of the school
taxes now charged against real estate .. 't
That ::: would prove a relief to all taxpayers:
and women in our fighting forces and
the war industries.
• The Liberals, including Mr. Nixon, killed
this resolution.
HELP FOR AGRICULTURE
The Opposition renewed the attack with
this further resolution:
The members of this legislature express
their regret that the Government has
failed to meet the critical needs of our
agricultural producers; and they insist
that the Government immediately take
whatever steps are necessary to assure
stability of prices, and an adequate
supply of manpower and machinery for
the rapidly increasing demands of war
production.
This was a move on behalf of the farmers
of Ontario which the Liberals were afraid to
veto directly. The Liberal Government
members, including Mr. Nixon, got around,
this difficulty by adopting a resolution
Praising the Government for the admirable
work' done by the province in manuring
manpower,
l ow rep ices and
d machinery for the
Agri
UNIFORM RATE FOR HYDRO
• The next resolution :Submitted by the
Opposition asserted that the Hydro Electric
revoiarces of the Province belonged to all the
people; and that it is therefore desirable
that the hydro Electric Power Commission
Aet be amended immediately to equalise
nates for electric energy and remove the
prsssst wryice charge in rural Areae.
TO MEET FUEL SHORTAGE
An Opposition reselutien dealing with the
current fuel shortage read:
In the opinion of them House a fuel cons-
mittee should be appointed to inquire
i.itss the fuel situation and to recorn-
ntend to the government measures to
mouse the greatestpossible supply of
fuel for the coming winter.
Despite the sufferings of last winter and
the prospective auTlerings of the coming
winter on the part of the people, the Liberal
Government of the day, including -Mr. Nixon,
unanimously voted down this resolution.
FINANCIAL PROTECTION FOR SOLDIERS
The next Resolution, introduced by the
Opposition at the recent session of the
House, proposed that all members of the
Canadian Armed Forces from Ontario
should be given effective legal protection
against the normal economic consequences
of their service; and that all those, whose
ability to meet their financial obligations
has been materially reduced by such service,
should be sheltered against the forfeiture of
instalment contracts, cancellation of life
insurance policies up to $10,000.00, and
judgments or other legal proceeding's for
debts incurred before entering military
service. The tenotntion stated that this
protection should be extended on the
express condition that those able to pay
should not be encouraged to evade their
obligations. The deferment rather than the
cancellation of obligations was suggested so
that justice might be assured.
Instead of voting down this revolution the
Liberal Attorney -General stated that tide
proposal had been taken up with the Federal
Government. But up to the present liaise no
action has ensued.
OLD AGE PENSIONS
A further resolution introtuesd by the
Opposition read:—
Resolved that in the opinion of this
House the Governmenthould take
immediate steps to adjust old -age
pension payment in acoard.eoe with the
present coat of living.
In supporting tiia resolution Mr. Drew
and others contended that old age pension
permeate should be raised immediately by
at least $5.00 a month and that the practice
should be abandoned of compelling old
people with little hones to give up thane
homes before they oat collect their scanty
pensions.
This reasonable proposal of the Opposition
was ruled out of order by the Speaker, Mr.
James Clarke, who now favors union of
Canada with the United States. On another
occasion in the late session the Speaker ruled
out of order a proposal for the celebration of
Empire Day. Mr. Nixon is not on record as
protesting against the Liberal Speaker'', •
rulings.
LABOUR AND "TEAM -PLAY"
As far baclt as 1941 George Drew placed
before the Legislature a proposal calling
upon the Minister of Labour to arrange a
conference to be known as the Ontario
Industrial Production Conference to be
attended by representatives of Labour
Unions, Employers' and the public. The
purpose of the Conference was to be the
assurance of maximum industrial produc-
tion, with effective protection for the
workers.
The Liberal Government, including Mr.
Nixon, have taken no action up to the
present time, in regard to this proposal.
In keeping with its record in the Legit
lature, on the public platform and in dile
prow, ever since 1939 the Progresaiw
Conservative Party, as already indicated' u
pledged to carry out the program outliner
an the 22 -points of it, platform.
The only means of making sure that these
forward looking coinneittments will be puk
into forthright practice is to vote;Oeorge
