The King Manpower Policy
"The Greatest Hoax ever perpetrated on a Nation."
"It is a national disgrace and a blight fOon the good
name of Canadian citizenship. To give political considera-
tions priority over the nation's interest is intolerable and
unforgivable."
Dominion-wide disunity is ,to-
day the gravest danger facing
Canada. The political abasement
of the King Government's Man-
power Policy reaped in wartime
the seeds it sowed in peacetime.
"King or Chaos" of the 1940
election campaign has been King
AND Chaos ever since. National
unity, to which theting Govern-
ment has paid only lip-service,
was sold for political advantage
in time of gravest national emer-
gency.
THE PRICE CANADA HAS
PAID for the unequal burdens,.of
the King Manpower Policy is be-
yond measure. Army statistics
tell the story. Tragically, the
casualty lists bear mute witness
to it.
THE PROGRESSIVE CON-
SERVATIVE PARTY HAS
CONSISTENTLY CONDEMN-
ED THE INJUSTICE OF A
PURELY POLITICAL MAN-
POWER POLICY. We do not
hesitate therefore to describe the
King Manpower Policy, and all
the furtive political manipula-
tions which characterized the ad-
ministration of that policy, as a
gross miscarriage of social, poli-
tical and economic justice. As
our forthright, progressive
leader has said, it was and is
-- "the greatest hoax ever per-
petrated on a nation."
NATIONAL \ UNITY AND
WELFARE MUST COME BE-
FORE NARROW POLITICAL
ADVANTAGE. Divide-and-rule
policies have no place in framing
the basis for peace-time govern-
ment. Only a party that will
recognize equality of opportun-
ity for all in time of peace as well
as equality of -service and sacri-
fice in time of war can solve the
problem of national unity with
the confidence of all Canadians.
WE STAND FOUR-SQUARE FOR EQUALITY OF SERVICE
AND SACRIFICE IN WAR; IN PEACE, EQUALITY OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.
