Ottawa 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.

Fritz & Son,Lsed Car Lot in Connection OnamtualmaKomowaveaum To the political and economic reactionary, Social Security is something to be used as a bribe to win votes --- a sop to soothe unrest. Social makeshifts of that kind are actually offered to -day as political substitutes for sound, .economic . Planning for the post-war reconstruction of Canada. • To the State Socialist, on the other hand,.Social Security is a bookish theory seeking to prove that poverty would be much more endurable if only it were much more general; And now, listen for a moment to John Bracken, the forthright leader of the Progressive Conservative Party "The State here in Canada, unlike Germany, is the servant of the peop not its master. Finance, and econom mechanisms associated with it, mu likewise be regarded as the servants, n the masters, of our economy. The uncle writing `ref prosperity AND soci security is a proper function of t State." .. in le, is st of g- al he .VRetirement 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. VMaternity benefits. V Widows' benefits. • 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 the Progressive Conservatives see Social Security. pensions. Vlncreased old age pensions at age 65. ;Vlncreased pensions for the blind. Where any of these social services are administered provincially, we shall provide grants•large enough to ensure adequate standards of social security for all Canadians. Compare this positive and coini)lete programme with the make -shift ex- pedients of other parties. No other party can equal or even approach John Bracken's guarantee of security for all . Canadians.
