They are forced to buy in a protected market at relatively high prices and to sell in a world market at generally low prices. What agriculture needs is not crutches to carry its disability; it needs to have the disability removed. This can only be accomplished by permanent measures and long range planning.” At last—a farmer fights for fair play for farmers! For more than twenty years John Bracken, the Farmer, was the undefeated leader of a Farmers’ Party. To-day, as leader of a great, national,.progressive party, he is deter mined that throughout the length and breadth of Canada there shall be a square deal for agriculture . . . fair play for the farmer ... on a permanent basis! J Progressive Conservative policies, that will permanently ensure fair play for the farmer. Here are just some of the points in the Progressive Conservative plan for the definite, continuous and permanent protection of farmers against income collapse and wide ex- ’ tremes of income fluctuation: The Farmer shall be guaranteed a proportionate share of the nation’s income. Farmers have seldom had a fair share of the nation’s income. Rarely do they receive a just reward for their endless labours. John Bracken means to stop, once and for all, the unfair discrimin ation against farmers, the unjust economic practices which make it im possible for farmers to obtain fair prices for the fruits of their labour. "It is the responsibility of the nation,” says the leader of the Progressive Con- , servative Party, "to see that' this great inequity ‘shall not be perpetuated . . . I know where I stand in the matter. Let me make that position clear. It is not fore-ordained that farmers shall- work for less pay .than anybody else; or have their children receive only one- quarter the chance of a secondary edu- • cation or one-tenth of the chanc.e of a university education that other children get; or see their wives forced into lives of toil, often 12 but sometimes 14 hours a day—Sundays and holidays included. . . . The trouble is that no one with the necessary authority has determined to correct the basic economic ills of Agri culture.” A permanent policy for forward contract prices shall be guaranteed to farmers—by law. . The prices guaranteed will be cal culated by a non-political council, and will be based on the farmer’s pro portionate share of the national income. These prices will be an nounced before the production seasons begin. ( This policy will increase present average farm income by not less than twenty per cent. / To-day, John Bracken, the Farmer, seeks the necessary authority to put into, immediate operation the far-reaching It takes a farmer to understand farmers’ problems. Only a farmer - knows the full economic injustice from which farmers suffer. To-day, John Bracken is fighting for fair play for every farmer. The leader of the Pro gressive Conservatives is determined to bring security and prosperity to farm ers permanently. Join in the fight. Help him to win his life-long struggle to give Agriculture a place in Canada’s prosper ity, not for a day—but for. all time to come. A Farmer fights for you ... He needs your help. - 1 ■N WITH Vote for Your •w P-3 «S Published by th* ProarwslT* Cons»rv*t(r* Party, Ottawa.
