takes power at queens park here ere some of the things your ccf government will do to the electors of halton county friends with apologiea to our liberal can didate for using his method of ap proach i would like to ask your in dulgence for a few minutes in answer to certain questions and the cjclf stand i will not be able to express myself quite as fluently as our friend unfortunately i nave not the help of any legal and experienced political vote getter at all cost to be proud of the liberal record s are quite certain ma his own state ment my leader right or wrong prov and what the balance of the record is i am at a loss to know what it might be with great pride they point out we have increased the old age pen slons 1z this i say does not even cover the costofliving bonus which in itself does not cover the increase of living conditions today we will raise the pensions immed iately to s3000 they say where will the money come from what about the surplus of s28 million dollars cant we afford seven to eight million dollars for those who have given the best years of their lives to live in a muddled world t the mothers allowance even at a 20 increase is far from enough un fortunately i have not the space to enlarge on same but do assure the mothers allowance a much better living and independence a copy of the ccfs proposal t will send on request in his second letter he refers to the progressive conscrvatlvei pro gramme rather a strange- thing of courseof do not have to remind you that their 22 point platform tomo thing to be dismantled after the elec tion is just n cheap imitation of the ccf programmt and i am positive that no conktrvatlve convention would have approved lie kjijs that the under mr drew should have brought up thehe matter on the floor of the house i think and i am sure you all will nctve that there was a lot of things khould hnvebeen brought up in the house hy both sides but no tht y both unit for an elec tion and rush the voters whereas the ccf programme nttt not a platform- is the study of ten hard years got together by some of the flnctt hrnlmt of the country and every ccf member who is free to vote and dlxuui any and every point at our yearly conventions and i say that when wo are your elected government both in toronto and ot tawa every ccf member is free to vote according to the dictates of his or her conscience and judgment and not as a compelled member of his party or leader it is rather startling that ho admits the monopolistic control he must be careful or he will lose the support of these concernia and also be an out cast from his party you know what happened to hepburn i offer our fifteen point program for study 1 plan immediately for the employ ment of all after the war 2 organize for the full use of our natural resources and the develop ment of new industries the minute the war ends 3 free the people from the power of the monopolies now in control of all important business nnd industry 4 bring thee monopolies undor social ownership ulth immense sav- inaa to farmers workers and con sumers 3 encourage cooterutvcs and re organize marketing boards to give farmer full represontntlon bo that they can bargain for fair prices 6 pahs an effective trade union act that will protect labors right to bar gain collectively for fair wages and working conditions 7 tntreate old ago pensions immed iately to s30 per month nnd also in crease mothers allowances s bring modern health services within the reach of all thus saving thousands of lives as in new zealand 9 provide equal educational op portunities for every child by means of scholarships and grants to muni cipalities 10 revise the tax laws to remove injustice and lighten the burden on farmers and homeowners 11 abolish patronage 12 reduce the cost of bread and coal by setting up m unlet pallyowned utilities 13 establish municipal dlstrlbu tlon of milk to benefit both farmers and consumers 14 reduce the cost of electricity by rescuing the hydro commission from the grip of private companies 15 build more and better houses to the full extent of available labor and materials the old way of life has become the way of death a cycle of wars and depressions the old order is passing away throughout the world and ontario can lead the way in canada please do not be confused with old parties be careful of the untried and dont
