M..f3EWAN, MINISTER W. R. REEK, DEPUTY MINISTER • ONTARIO 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 $25,000,000. This was turned down by the Liberal*, including Mr. Ninon. FOREST eiSouer.eS Later on :Mr. Drew's followers offered a reaointia,, demanding that the administra- tion and control of the provincial forest resources be placed under the direction of a public body to be known as the Ontario - Forest Resources Commission, after the manner of the Ontario Hydro Electric „power Commiene Reioctsd by the Liberals, including TIG. Rhein. IRMO$STRUCTION PLAN$ es eine late °rasion of the Legislature () 043) riot OPPoeitinn kept up the premiere for mem, by silbmltting this resolution:•-.

Liberals, including Mr. Nixon, voted t}xlu cl<•wn. Still art the same drive for action the Oopnsitem proposed; 'reset the Government should undertake (with specithe constitu. al reonht reference the Domin- los and provincial Governments) a sur- vey of existing social schen-sea here and elsewhere; and with due regard to the probable course of events after the war, make reeommendationa for a unified workable plan which will assure a proper standard of work, wegts, tv,alth, educal no, incl.living sterrrlards, f,.r e11 aur people with special refer. e 4 ahc . ^•,srnhliet,rnent nr" the re, e. 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 Drew and the Progressive ConservetiVe Party into Office on August 4th.
