BRITISH WAR BRIDES MUST REMAIN FOR DURATION Toronto, April 16, 1945--British war brides who have come to Ontario and are now seeking to return to Britain "haven't a chance while the war lasts," a Canadian Red Cross official declares. Several British war brides in Toronto and a number from outside have contacted the Red Cross in an effort to get back to England. This causes all departments a great deal of unnecessary work. Apart from the fact that it is unfeasible because of present shipping conditions, each of the brides who made application to cdme to Canada also signed at that time an undertaking promising that she would make no application to return to Britain until after the war.

THE COLBORNE EXPRESS NOW A FUTURE libera/ Action for Agriculture Here are some of the practical steps which your Liberal government has faken for your benefit: 1 Guarantees of minimum prices for farm products: 2 Trade agreements with 20 countries. ' farmers* shoulders. r exchange tax off special marketing L Premiums paid on high grade ° cheese and grade A and Bl and Prairlfe Farm Income payments made in 1941 to tide farmers over until market for wheat under farm products. 9The above, with the Export Credits Insurance Act, will maintain farm incomes throughout post-war period. 10 Appointed (August 1944) ■V Agricultural Prices Support Board to guarantee for post-war security to farmers' * ' their working and living c ditions, your Liberal Government has provided for intermediate and short term credits by amending the Bank Act and passing the Farm Improvement Loans Act, and further, has arranged that those wishing to build new homes or repair, extend or renovate their present homes can borrow the money under the National Hous- IO Inaugurated annual farm pro-duction programmes through co-operation between the Department of Agriculture and farmers' organizations in every part of Canada. Cash income from the sale of farm products (millions of dollars) KEEP IT UP! Under Liberal Government, Farm incomes Rose Steadily ONE out of every three men working in Canada is on the farm. Agriculture is the nation's most important industry. Since 1935; your Liberal Government has kept farming at the top of its list for action. Look at the panel (left). Although 23% fewer men have been available for farm work, production has increased more than 40%--a splendid record of achievement for victory! I Even before the war, by securing foreign markets, taking off surpluses and stimulating home consumption, your Liberal Government assisted in raising total farm income by 45%. During the war, the farmer for the first time was put in the sound position of knowing exactly how he stood financially. He was protected against increases in his costs of production and guaranteed a market at fixed prices for a specified volume of produce. In 1939 farm income was $772,-000,000; in 1944 it was $ 1,817,-000,000, an increase of over a billion ! After the war, your Liberal Government has arranged to keep farm incomes up by floor prices on farm and fish products, and by foreign trade... to improve farm living conditions by Family Allowances, National Housing Plan, Farm Improvement Loans Act, and other social measures___and to secure agriculture's future by conservation of soil and other natural resources together with farsighted projects for irrigation, road and other improvements as soon as manpower and materials are available.
