Together they etio ploy 37% of all the workers engaged In these classes of business, (From 1941 census) 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 in Germany, is the servant of the people, not its master. Finance, and economic mechanisms associated with it, must likewise be regarded as the servants, not the masters, of our economy. The under- writing of prosperity AND social security is a proper function of the State." 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 iire 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.

It may be a farm, a store or a lumber-yard; an architect's office or a service station. Taken together, these individual enter- prises provide a very substantial part of Canada's total jobs—must continue to do so after the war. During the years ahead many people who dropped small business for war reasons will want to return to their accustomed or new ways of making a living. Thus old businesses will be revived. Many new ones will be started by returned men and people now in war indus- tries. The commercial banks will do their part to afford assurance that no sound credit requirement need be left unserved in the field of small business: As such businesses grow, they create additional job openings; that has been the pattern of Canadian enter- prises. Most large companies began in a small way. And practically all could name some bank which played apart in their growth by providing the loans they needed to finance their day-to-day operations. Your bank stands ready to serve businesses, small or large, well established or just starting out. Banks do not initiate such businesses—but they do furnish neCeS. .sary working capital and many other forms of banking service. 1E11 businesi" ISN'T SO SMAII! Real Social Security or Rationed Scarcity? 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.
