"Let me state, ladies and gentleâ€" men, that it is not our idea to immediately embark upon an exâ€" tensive public works programme upon the cessation of hostilities but rather to be prepared with such a programme to fill the gap when it is apparept that unemployment is likely to&g« upon us during the transition from a war to peace time economy," explained Mr. Alâ€" lan. The plan of the department is that a large number of well conâ€" sidered public works should be planned and be ready for impleâ€" mentation when economic condiâ€" tions indicate that unemployment is likely to oceur. "These representatives were reâ€" quested to express their views with respect to the position that the Cities, Towns and Villages, in conâ€" "Only one Partyâ€" in Ontario, the Progressive Conservative party is in a position to present something beyond the blueprint stage. In August, 1943, George Drew and his followers prelenbeg to the people of Ontario his 22 point plan. The geople of Ontario approved and the rogressive â€" Conservative â€" party began implementing their 22 poirtts. Today 21 of these points are on their way to being implemented and the Conservatives would still be implementing those points had not the Liberals, led by the vaccilitaâ€" ting Mitch Hepburn and the C.C.F. led by Mr, Joliffe, deliberately resorted to obstructionist methods to retard progress. The position grew more and more intolerable until Messrs. Hepburn and Joliffe finally tripped over their own obstructions," declared Mr. Allan. Opposition Ganged Up "Under our system of responsible government, a government in ofâ€" fice must be able to put through its major legislation. When the time comes that it cannot do this the only course left is dissdlution. In the Ontario Legislature opposition parties ganged up on the Progresâ€" sive Conservatives notwithstanding the fact that there were 81 bills for consideration already on the order paper and other bills still to be introduced. A general want of conâ€" fidence motion was introduced and the oppositi&g\ gang joined hands against the Progressive Conservaâ€" tivesâ€"dissolution followed and now Mr. Drew, and his followers, are asking the people of Ontario if that want of confidence motion was of their choosing or simply the strategy of: an irresponsible opâ€" position explained the West York candidate, 22 Point Programme "I will deal with but a few of our 22 point platform in this address," continued Mr. Allan. "The first is the determination of our Party to maintain British instituâ€" tion and strengthen the British partnership in every way within our power, In furtherance of these objections and soon after the Proâ€" gressive Conservatives took over the reins of government, Ontario House in London, England, was reopened for the purpose of preâ€" paration for postâ€"war trade and immigration. As part of this proâ€" gramme our Government through its representatives in London, Engâ€" land, are encouraging British manâ€" ufacturers to establish factories in Canada. The farâ€"sighted wisdom of this proposal for the creation of new jobs in the postâ€"war period is readily realized. British Interested "More than 40,000 British people have made enquiries at Ontario House about the possibilities of coming to Canada after the war. Industrialists have demonstrated a keen interest in Ontario and indiâ€" cated their desire to come here and establish Canadian branches. The Progressive Conservatives sincereâ€" ly believe that this Country has not even begun to reach its full popuâ€" lation stature and that with greater population becomes greater prosâ€" perity, â€" _ _ â€" "If we are to have a prosperous, happy postâ€"war period it is essenâ€" tial that we make plans for the development of our Province. Reaâ€" lizing the vital importance of planning and development Premier Drew and his cabinet established a separate department to deal with problems and to blueprint future action," Mayor Allan explained. "The Honourable Dana Porter was appointed Minister of Planâ€" ning and Development and soon after his appointment, carrying out the traditional democractic principles _ of _ the _ conservative party, called a two day conference in the Royal York Hotel of repre sentatives of all of the Municipali ties in the Province of Ontario. "Both in law and practice the Proincial governments have much to do _ with immigrationâ€"much more than the Dominion governâ€" ment. The British North .fflerica Act provides Provincial governâ€" ments with power to pass legislaâ€" tion dealing with immigration but what is even more important Provincial governments must, of necessity, assume the major resâ€" ponsibility in welfare and security for those who come to live within their boundaries. « "What the Progressive Conservaâ€" tives Party is trying to do in reâ€" gard to immigration is insure that the very best type of citizen come to this province." Planning And Developing ted plan of public construction work, Tt is felt ruch a public work programme is essontial to bridge the period ef possible uremployâ€" in the Ontario Legislature J 4th June at a meeting held in Weston. "These wonderful blueprints enâ€" vision a golden age for all of us but before we accept them, let us study them, and exnmil\: the sound foundations upon which they are built", advised Mayor Allan, t which might nstruction period ght arise in the to proâ€" EMBE M MCY 00 mR LC without new dresses for herself.

PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL ASSOCIATION Hence, if you want to preserve your liberty of actionâ€" your individual freedomâ€"where to workâ€"where to liveâ€" where and how to spend your money, you simply cannot rote for ANY C.C.F. candidateâ€"even though he be your personal friendâ€"because every C.C.F. candidate is defiâ€" nitely committed to that program. If he falters or wavers in his support of it he is expelledâ€"as has happenéd already. So get out and voteâ€"against the C.C.F. candidates, and urge everyone you know to do the same. Let‘s completely destroy this threat of dictatorship once and for all. Any such plan could only be carried out under an abso= lute dictatorshipâ€"either by one man or a small"group (as in Italy, Germany and Russia). In its execution three out of every five citizens would probably end up working for the government, and one in every five would be a government "cop" checking up on us to be sure we stayed in line. That‘s what "State Socialigm" means. Briefly the Socialists propose that we turn over to the C.C.F. politicians not merely the running of our govern= ment, but complete and permanent control of our everyday lives. They would control and regulate all production of farm products; all manufacture of goods; all distribution and pricing; all placing of employment, wages, etc. They propose to do this gradually, starting with banks, insurance companies, and "Big Business", but eventually the "State‘" (which are the present C.C.F. candidates) would regulate everything to fit into their soâ€"called "National Plan". So, Vote AGAINST C.C.F.! Remember Italy! Goodâ€"bye Freedom ! To All Voters oX 178 . B. A. TRESTRAIL The people who are preaching State Socialism for Canada (C.C.F.) are largely theorists â€" visionaries with no practical experience. The honesty or sincerity of these people is not at issueâ€" it is their objective. It is important to recall that it was the same type of "thinkers" who startâ€" ed Italy on the road to dictatorshipâ€"and destruction. Mussolini, Laval, Quisling and other dictators all started as Socialistsâ€" posing as the friend and saviour of the soâ€" called "common people". Their promises ran parallel with t:f present C.C.F. proâ€" gram. The "State" would take over everyâ€" thing; the profits would go to the "people"; everybody would be fully employed; everyâ€" ~one would have a "minimum standard of living" etc., etc.â€"and the goose hangs high! TO CANADIANS who are being attract»= ed by the pleasing promises of the C.C.F. Socialists, we extend a very solemn word of warningâ€"a warning that you will some day recall. And that warning is this: So remember this: Your vote in this elec= tion is tremendously important. It will help decide an issue that ranks second only to victory in the war. The verdict will effect the life and future of every man, woman and child in Canada. Hence, before you de= cide who to vote for, you should post your= self on just what State Socialism stands for â€"and what the ultimate consequences will be to you and yours. ‘We all know what happened in Italy. The more power they got, the more they tookâ€"and the voice of the "people" faded out. The sincere social reformers who had supported the movement in a genuine deâ€" sire to improve the welfare of the people were brushed offâ€"or rubbed out. Starting as a Utopian dream, the scheme soon beâ€" came a gigantic nightmare that ended in complete disillusionment and disaster. And now, unbelievable as it may seem, many Canadians are falling for the same type of promises that Mussolini handed out. After spending five years, billions of dollars and thousands of lives in destroyâ€" ing dictatorship abroad, we are actually coddling, if not cultivating the same seeds of oneâ€"man power right here in Canada. young 1 INFORMATION WANTED PEVETRTRTAREAT NRTVUEP A very green army recruit guard at the gate had orders h-:il mit no car unless it bore & s; tag.
