prjmeltdion feature your federal candidates spteak new democratic party candidate there is a strong tendency among politicians and political commentators to bandy about words such as free enterprise k and socialism as though they had some mystical quality within themselves it reminds one of hhat fictional civilization that worshipped an image but ut long since forgotten why need less to say they no longer had a democratic society so let us clear away a few of the myths about peoples capitalism in ihc 19th century free enter prise was based on the premise that if every man pursued his own self interest that is made as much profit as possible the community as a whole would benefit this in turn was founded oh hie belief that the quality and price of goods was determined by the law of supply and demand in an open market those who held mis belief and profiled by it gave no consideration to the hundreds of thousands of wo men and children who worked in the mines and mills under op pressive conditions nineteenth century capitalism has some times costfls much in terms or human misery as communism the evil in both these historical situations is that human dignity is sacrificed to a system or jp the interests of asmall group human conditions hnvelmprov ed since then only because the worker has learned to organize and governments have become dependent on his vote but we have reached a crucial point in our development because in ltis age of mass media communioa lion governments are elected by the amount of money they can obtain for a campaign and slnpfc that involves colossal sums they are in fact dependent on the contributions of large corpora tions what wc must return to first of all is that the economic sys tem must serve man rather than man being a slave of the system this involves a reexamination of this socalled free enterprise system how can it be free enter prise when six firms control 100 per cent of nickel eppper iron this country how can it be free enterprise when six firms con trol 90 per cent or the production of automobiles petroleum gyp- ffim asbestos primary textiles fertilizers and agricultural lm pdements how ctin it be free enterprise when the small bus ness man must compete with the maxslvi resources of the chain stores in terms of national ad vertlsing oulk buying loss lead ers etc how can 11 be fret enterprise when in ihc great majority of cases management can have no hope in sharing in ownership and at most can look forward io a dog cat dog race without security or the free exc else of human conscience as for peoples capitalism from the point of view of share holding lei us look at ihc facl in 1956 only two per cent of the canadian population owned more than isjqoo worth of shares timelyone per cent had no slock holdings whatsoever they had all ihey could do to meet their mortgages can you honestly say that this is economic democracy yes sirl that s the way it is so say the pc s when asked why the definite and admitted trend to socialism canadian people arc getting too lazy to think for them selves too lazy lo get out and vote consciously or conscientious ly too lazy to do anything but wait for someone to charm them and do the thinking for them as our ipc s under questioning said if ihc people want lo go socialistic this is what they will vote for or not vote agains in that case wc might as wlmse the party that will givcytfto them eve the grits agreed and add cd after all it is the vote that counts you know apparently ihey do not consider the socreds any threat and can divulge these little intimacies safely wc disagree canadians may be getting a little confused and discouraged but it has been not cd before canadians can only be pushed so far until they dig in and say this is it it s time to go to work time and again on the field of battle when canadians go to bat they go over the top with both teeth and bayonets bared they may for a time appear to be halton social credit candidate irving wilson says trusting and a trifle pacifistic but their conservative attitude ai lows for the benefits of the doubj until it comes to a showdown this was proven in alberta when they became tired of being led around by the proverbial nose they had such a house cleaning that it has remained clean for 33 years when about 13 of the provincial debt was paid off ihey struck oil let us notice that they developed this to the benefit of the province fighting outside pressure all the way lo success the same thing appffed lo bc where the hon w a c bennett had to expropriate b c electric in order to dump a load of federal taxation straw from the camd s back according lo a statement given to monetary times novem ber 1961 he requested the federal government at least four limes to remove taxation from the uti lity or return it to the province where il belonged when they returned only a token of it and then refused him the right to see the records he took the canadian attitude and did something about it i predict that canadians have had about enough of being told how to vote or not vote at all they are not entirely asleep as i find when i talk to the mm on the street the old line parlies have know ingly sold themselves to a sys tern of debt and more debt fmane ing canadians it is high time wc did something about il let us throw private business interests out of politics so that wc can pay our way as we go with no outside dictation of policy it can be done i it has been done i it must be done again halton conservative candidate sandy best says a group of political misfits who had nothing constrpctiye whatever to offer in parliament are trying to tell people now they arc ready to run this country these are the liberals who in parliament supported every sin gte money bill offered since 1957 by the conservative government tanffm py hnh nnlhing heller to offer themselves and now thev are irving to say this gov emment failed what is their platform a lot of impractical claptrap involving more spending without budgetary deficits they can t produce this andjlobody could but promises cost nothing neither does cnti asm unsupported by alternative ideas a lot of their talk is about bal anced budgets as though these by themselves were the only mea sure of a successful government you can t spend a balanced bud get vou can t eat it all ou can do is keep on balancing it and sometimes let the rest of the na tional economy crumble about vou this government or any other government can produce bal anced budgets and even sur plus budgets if il so designs it does not make sense however lo do so if this means negjectlng the welfare of the nation end is people and allowing individuals to suffer and development to slow down t is a su dc- firee of slackness in the ccononty n the form of excess productive capacity and idle manpower bud get deficits can provide an im portant stimulus by means of such deficits the government through us expenditures places in the hands of the pubtlc sub stantially more purchasing power than it withdraws through laxe tion if appropriately planned and timed a substantial deficit can encourage higher levels of output employment income and savings without incurring nsk of infla tion when employment and in comes have reached satisfactory high levels and the rate of eco nomic growth is strong a sound budget and tax structure should generate sufficient revenues not only to cover current cxpendi tures but also to provide funds for orderly retirement of debt in the circumstances confront ing canada today it is appropn ale indeed desirable that the federal government should by incurring a sizeable deficit help to stimulate the economy active program slnceit was elected in 1957 the qiefenbaker government has car lied out an active program lo ex pand the nation s economy and promote employment in the fast est expanding labor force in the western world more canadians are at work today than ever bo tore and tney are earning more money saving more and inducing more this is obvious y no depression or recession tvpe economy as the liberals would have you believe the unfortunate unemployed are mostly peopk who have few skills or whose skills ore no longer needed be cause of the introduction of auto mation the onlv wav they can be put to work on anything like a per manent basis is by ret raining them in new skills more in de mand at the present time to this end the federal government is already investing 4000000 in new technical training facilities in halton county alone and the same thing is happening elsi whan right harry harley says the conservatives have not been able to hold office for more u ii rju than five vears at an one time halton lbe candxfcle since the election of 1892 it tak es but one term of offue for the canadian people to become dis enchanted with their perform ance and it would appear that it is the same storv this time the conservatives have not come up with a consistent leader able to hold office since the davs of sir john a macoonald and the same pattern which was fol lowed bv the conservatives when thty were last in power in the 30 s has been apparent over the post five years both have been a govemmeih of guess and contradiction as is evident by the number of bad guesses thai were made in the fleming budget forecasts both as to anticipated government in come and gross national product the neaub has been three billion more debt that canadians wiu have to carry unemployment at one time in 1961 reached as high as u j of the total labor force and aow and as a crowning mis- achievement the devaluation ef the canadian dollar to illustrate just what this tat ter would mean in tenns of in- creasod cttslof utfsg cana dians an advertisement bv an automobile dealer appeared in the local press last wjeek we are sorrv the advertisement read but due to the ova1va- tion of the canadian dollar we have been forced to change our

a public appeal af firsutfaev were called the conservative party this was a food name in die earlv days but tfcev could not gei anvwbere with this name hi this century because people liked to baovc along so they added the word pro gressive and ofled themselves p conservatives talk did not work b the word belied the other then dp diefenbaker image emerged and at last thev won office after this it was never called the con servative government thev al ways referred to themselves as the diefenbaker government now however vou can notice that thev are plaving down the diefenbaker pan and are ag ain calling it the conservative government terhaps this is part of their plan to complete the 100 years of confederation or are ihey loo disenchanted with mr diefenbaker this is one of the more serious elections that has faced this country we are being faced with changing conditions at home and abroad it wqaud al most appear that in 10 vears time we will live m an all new world there b a tremendous
