Published by the Progressive -Conservative,

On the 11.th of Decem-
ber, 1942, John Bracken
stood in the Audi-
torium in Winnipeg be-
fore a great concourse
of people. John Bracken
-- 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 Winnie John Bracken, the
farmer, i 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 uses,
clear, concise -- sincere.
"During the last decade," 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 green inequity shall
riot be perpetuated."
Then, suddenly his voice rises, becomes even clearer,
znnre incisive. "I may way quite frankly that if it had
not been for that plank in your platform. which pro-
vides for a square deal for agriculture, 1 'would not
be here."
Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, — again the same
simplicity, the moving Sincerity,
"I air an agrarian," said. John Bracken,"and I am a
Canadian . who seek to correct thmajor social
inju.;c;.ce of our o'ty —. the unfairly small share of the
national income that goes to farmers and farm women
and farms 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 sf.r•engtheized."
No one could be less parochial in his outlook — more
deeply concerned with national welfare than John
Bracken, the farmer who embarked twenty-
ears ago
on a career so 5ucu ;;;ful as to be without recedent in
contemporary political history within the British Com-
monwealth of Nations.

The Progressive Conservative Party
is pledged to provide, without delay, a
uniform and comprehensive social
security programme for all Canadians,
including:
i\/Extended unemployment insurance
coverage.
VAdequate payments for the mainten-
ance of unemployables.
\/Accident and sickness benefits.
VChildren's allowances.

V Widows'

• 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
obligation and national responsibility of
the very first magnitude and import-
ance. Social Security must grow with
prosperity—because the degree to which
social services may be provided is deter-
mined by the size of the national income.
We are pledged to maintain that income
at a high prosperous level. It is against
this background of plenty for all, that
