DOMINION -PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE ON FARM LABOUR 'AGRICULTURE 'LABOUR = EDUCATION Thursday, May 10th, 1945 WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES PAGE WO Opp for 1 Reconstruction Plans for jobs for 900,000 more woriters than in 1939; and 60,000 more each year as the population grows. Every kind of enterprise will be encouraged. The Liberal Government has already set up the machinery: the Department of Reconstruction. 2 Foreign Trade Liberal objective: Sixty percent increase in value .over Canada's pre-war export trade. This means thousands of jobs, and is based on the number of jobs created by Canada's normal export trade. 3 Credit for Enterprise The Liberal Government set up the Industrial Development Bank to provide money at low interest for long terms to help enterprising Canadians to develop new business. Another step towards creating full employment. 4 Exports Encouraged War-torn countries will want to buy tremendous quantities. of Canadian goods. To facilitate this, the Liberal Government has set up the Export Credit Insurance Act to do two things: (1) to insure Canadian exporters against loss, and (2) to make loans to foreign governments under contract to Canadian exporters. 5 Farm Improvement Rt.

Pros: perous farmers and fishermen make a prosperous Canada. 11 Better Labour Conditions In co-operation with organized Labour, the Liberal Government has confirmed collective bargaining, provided unemployment insurance, appointed labour representatives on govern- ment boards. (More than 600,000 workers, be- cause of the Liberal Government's attitude towards Labour and the labour movement, now get annual vacations with pay.) 12 Reduction in Taxation The Liberal Government will gradually reduce taxation when the European war is over to free spending power and to give Canadians every opportunity for prospenty, employment and freedom. YOUR Liberal Government under Mackenzie King has taken practical steps to see that every Canadian after the war shall have a wide-open chance to make a real success of his life. It can be done by giving everybody the opportunity to get ahead faster and go further. Isn't that what you want — a chance to make your own way IN your own way? Here are definite, practical steps whichiae Liberal Government has taken (not just talked about, but taken) to, make this Canada a better place to work in and bring up your children. You will have to decide whether you want the men who devised these measures to carry them through,, or whether you wish to entrust your own and your family's future to others. unities LL A-7,..-• — Loans. Your Liberal. Government • ee .has made low interest loans available to farmers to finance their work and make improvements. 6 Guaranteed Markets To provide farmers with a better wartime in- come, the Liberal Government made contracts for definite quantities of important products at agreed prices—notably bacon, eggs, cheese and beef. These contracts have worked out so well die Liberal Government extended -many for longer periods. What you have done in war—you can do in peace. You can do your' part by supporting the Liberal Candidate in your constituency.

"Any- way," he said, "I have never made a graven 'image." formation the Canadian Federation has developed a very definite policy of support for international federation of farm-•r interests, in order that mach- inery of some type may be set up whereby the men of the soil of all nations, organized on a national basis in their respective countries, would have a 'definite voice and influence in the planning for the production and distribution of the world's food sup- plies which come front the farms.
