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.
