We can make this I country of unity, rather than dis- unity; we can make Canada a na- tion of prosperity, rather than poverty; we can see that those younger than ourselves grow up to hive advantages which we need- ed and did'not have.

Unity nd Importance Of Getting The 'lght Kind Of Government For Post War Period Let the Liberal Government Jinish its work These things are now a matter of record and of common knowledge. On the basis of its record the choice of Prime Minister king's party to form the next Government of Canada is a matter of just plain sense! The Liberal administration can say with honesty and justice: This is the Government which has directed Canada's war cf. fort at home and abroad. This is the Government which during the war worked out a program of full employment and social reform. The Canadian people have made a magnificent contribution to the common victory in Europe. g Address The Progressive Conservatives, recognizing that co-operatinn be tween men of tertod-will is the an- swer to the problems between fed- eral and provincial governments, will. call, immediately after the election as the government of Can- ada, a Dominion-Provincial con- ference. John Bracken has pledged National Unity is not something which can be crested at a mo- ment's notice, after years of dis- trust, carefully fostered for poli- tical advantage. It must be brought about by a new attitude on the part of the central govern- ment; it must be brought about by the development of a new attitude --a new approach-on the part of individual Canadians towards their fellows, by the development of tolerance rather than discrimina- tion, of trust, rather than distrust. If one man was more respon- sible for that condition-if one party was more responsible for that condition __ than were all others, they war? the present Prime Minister of Canada and his Liberal Party. Eventually. we in Canada came to the place where it was not possible to secure the re- inforcements for Canada's Active Army over-9235‘ Young men died, unnecessarily, because they did not have the reinforcements, because they did not have the rest which they to dgsgfrgtely needed. ' . "Por more years than there Ire in our lifetimes. one group of politicians after another, of vary- ing political groups. has played off one part of Canada against an- other, one language against an- othereone religion against another. Yes, and the technique of 'divide and conquer" worked, Since the lust Great war. the King govern- ment has not the second largest of our provinces off by itself, intel- lectually, economically, and emo- tionally, until it was impossible to create during this war even the shadow-much less the substance- of national unity. Our war effort “ax accordingly diminished, both at home and abroad. clearly recognizes that problem, ,Ind faces it in a practicnl way which cannot be ignored by my clty-thinkinsr Canaqun. . mnmummcduma For all young men and women who want to continue their educa- tion. and whose educational record shows that they can make good use of further education, advanced tech.. nical and professional training will be made available in Canadian unl- versities and universities outside this country. Think what this will" mean to Canada. Canada, like every de- mocracy. needs educated young people to help develop this coun- try, to help Canada achieve the place which is hers in this world. Without, tsducatiorr--ard education Young men and women of Can- ada will be given teehnical training for primary industries. such as farming, fishing. mining and for- estry, in secondary schools. Those who want to make a career of such work will be able to do so through the establishment by federal grants of Courses appropriate to the dis- trict in high achoola. in conse- quence upon the reorganization of the Department of Trade and Com. merce to promote more export trade, young Canadian veterans will be given special training to act as salesmen for Canadian pro- duets abroad. , Equality of opportunity simply means that whethar a Canadian citizen is born on I farm or in n city, he must receive the some chance to develop his talents through education. Education lies in the sphere of provincial rights, but. in order to bring about an equalizing of educational oppor- tunity, the federal government will make grants to the various Prov- inees to bring about a raising of the educational standards of all grovincea. The Dominion and the rovinces will co-operate towards the establishment of textbooks which stress Canadian unity, rather than sectionalism. Tnko a minute or so to think of education; think of the discrep- Incios of educational opportunities between the tarm boy and the city boy, between the rich mum's dingh- ter und the poor mnn’l daughter. Think of the irreeoverable wube of talent that has gone ongeven in our generation-tuid is Itill going on today, because, boy: Ind girls. and young men and young'women are denied qunlity of oirpirtynity. ot all ilu5raiiai' an“.

The Progressive Conservative Party has found that answer. John Bracken has promised that a Youth Advisory Council, composed of rep- resentatives of youth from all the provinces, will be established, The young people themselves will rec- ommend to the government what should be done for the youth of Canada-not as some separate group off in a compartment by itself where it can take no con- structive notion except where it has previously been invited to do so, but " an independent non- partisan body. whose whole pur- pose is in find out what in good for Hm mum: people of this coun- trr r , i, -'"r? that. just that is done for them, A,ro' Irits :wrifices made by the youth nf Canada in this war. after the, leadership they have given on the battlefields and responsibilities we have all accepled as Canadian rilizens. someone olse's plan for mun: people is not good enough. Youth must control its own destiny, and in the Progressive Conserva- live Party alone is it free to do so. What about. youth', part in the government of Canada? How are we as young people goin to con- trol our own destinies? Somehow, the answer must be found to the problem of giving to the largest group of Canadian citizens the right to look after their own " fairs. r Aspttrt git: national policy at Arttt.iryu.tl,i spirit of national Imity'lmoé Bll Canadians. thk Progressive Conservative Party will sponsor a national system of cultural and recreational centres. Here young people will have an opportunity to develop their Cana- dian spirit, meet other Canadians, and foster a Canadian nationhood. These recreational centres will be extended to rural areas through assistance in the erection of com- mgnity centres. H . _ Where private industry cannot furnish jobs for all those able and willing to work, however, the Pro- gressive Conservative Party will sponsor self-liquidating Mate pro- "jeets on a national basis. No one will be without work who wants it in this future Canada of ours. Full employment is gledged. and John 'Bracken has sai he will not chisel “the UM. . T Every Canadian must receive an annual income hi h enough to sup- port himself and; his family pro- perly. This means that Canada must produce more and consume more; that is the way of raising the national standard of living. The Progressive Conservative Party will sponsor the setting up of decentralized planning boards, composed of representatives of con- sumers, labour, agriculture, indus- try and the government, which will 00-0 erate together to work out the licst means of expanding Can- adian industries to give more work. Equality of opportunity must be carried further-of what use, you may well nay. is educltion if there is no job for a young man or a young women when he or she has completed that. education? The Pro ressive Conservative Party is plugged to see to it that every Can- adian able and willing to work re- ceive: his democratic opportunity to work at fair pay and under good Win-king tPndikions. democratic life will perish, simply because the rulers of Canada will not be intellectually capable of vot- ing on the issues of the day. De- mocracy and education are insep- arable forms. True democracy im- plies education. and education in its true form inevitably means true democracy. RCAF. and Mu.

He spoke of his own ex erience in coming to Canada with the tradi, tional Five Pounds and, while not wealthy, he had always been able tohntske a good living. He was now connected with the mining industry which he spoke of u eing un- developed and needing men of en- terprise to develop and finance what he described as a great po- tential industry. He stated that, for every man in the mines, 30 men would be needed on the outside. When the war is over 50 to M thou. sand men will be required in the mining industry and several hun- dred thousands in factories and other industries. There will be no monny from England or the United States, for development, under a CCF' government. Where, then, would such a government be able to secure capital for full develop- ment. Last election the Conservative party went down to defeat because they did not stand to their prin- ciples. Bracken, he claimed, will do " he says and the people may de- pend rm him to give the kind of zovrrnmr-nt that has been outlined In Canada, as in Manitoba, the fight was against CCF and against Socialism. He quoted former CCF members who, on learning the aims, and objects of the CCF had been forced to withdraw their support. They found that they werenat per- mitted freedom of speech and thought. That no member of the party was allowed freedom of thought or movement, but was forced to follow to the letter the instructions of the Executive Com- mittee with David Lewis as the guiding spirit. This man was a former Polish Russian and had come over here inbued with foreign ideas and principles which. if prop- erly understood, he did not believe would be acceptable to Canadian people. .

These are the men who are lead- ing Canada forward to a future of gene and prosperity with John racken as her prime minister. These are the kind of men thousands of young Canadians are supporting.

This can be the one and only in, Gordon McLelland. of Hamilton, formerly a member of the RCAF, said that, awhile ago, the people had two choices in politics, now there were four. There were new political issues but the dominant one was Free Enterprise-Free 0p- partunities against State Socialism. Free Enterprise meant freedom to work as in the past, freedom to live and raise families, freedom to think and act in our own way and not be controlled by rules of a dic- tator government. Marx. The CCF' party is a parallel case with Nazi Germany. Under them we would have to work for the State and live as we were directed. This can be the one and only in, terpretation of State Socialism. Attention was called to the fact that, in the last election, 28,000 people on the lists had not. voted and that Joliffe was elected by a 2000 majority. Mr. Allan said that a vote for the Progressive Conser, vative candidate was an effective barrier against State Socialism and regimentation of the people.
