The Seaforth News, 1945-05-31, Page 7THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1945 THE SEAFORTH NEWS Equality of Service and Sacrifice! The King Manpower Policy "The Greatest Hoax ever perpetrated on a Nation." "It is a national disgrace and a blight upon 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 the King 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.

Your Vote on June llth can bring lasting security to your work, your home, your family! Security for your WORK Here are some of the definite, practical steps taken by the Liberal Government to give secu- rity to home and family by assuring well-paid post-war jobs for everyone: For Veterans — The most generous plan of any United Nation to get returned men started in the type of work each of thein chooses. The Liberal Government is deterinined that every man and woman coming home to Canada shall return to the land of greatest opportunity in the world. For Workers About a third of all Canadians depend on exports for theft livelihood. Liberal plans provide for increasing our exports 60% in value over those of 1939. For Farmers Acting on the belief that all Canadians prosper when farmers do, the Liberal Government has arranged that they can im- prove their farms and equipment under a new loan plan and has arranged to put a floor under the prices of farm and fishery products. To stimulate employment for all, the Liberal Government has created a special Department of Reconstruction which is now in operation and which will co-ordinate private and public enterprise: Security for your O O ail E The Liberals believe that the home is the heart of the nation. They aim to give Canadians every possible facility to build and furnish better homes? With Government assistance you can build a home in the country, town or city. This will make jobs for the building trades, and those who make building supplies—and those who manufacture -household equipment and fur- niture: New Homes for Canadians — The Liberal Government's new $400,00%000 Natio Housing Act, now on the statute books, enables hundreds of thousands of Canadians to get money at low interest and on long, generous terms to build, renovate or enlarge their own homes. Now that Germany is defeated, plans are already in operation for at least 50,000 dwellings. Other practical, workable measures for the security of your home are the Liberal Govern- ment's laws for Unemployment Insurance and liberal Old Age Pensions: The Liberals believe in doing what can be done, as soon as it can be clone. If returned to power on June llth, they will carry on and expand.the sound, constructive work already started. Security for your FAMILY LY Family Allowances •– Starting in July, parents who benefit least from income tax exempnoas will receive Family Allowance cheques every month to help them get better food, clothing, shelter and education for their children so they can grow into healthy, vigorous Canadian citizens. These cheques will amount to between $200,000,000 and $250,000,000 a year: As direct spending power, this will do much to help in achieving the Liberals' objective of full employment. Health -- A National Health Plan will ensure that everybody shall betaken care of while they are sick and the best measures medical science can devise shall he employed to prevent disease: Despite the efforts of Drew, Bruce, Bracken and other reactionaries, the Liberals are deter. mined that human interests, the needs of men, shall be placed before "business as usual". The Liberals have faith in Canada, a united country, and in their ability to continue to. build, with your support, a more abundant life and greater opportunities far Canadians.
