Dear Sir: The Libsral administration must call the Parliament of this country into session without delay if it is to disâ€" charge its responsibilities to the naâ€" tion. The latest deccentrol order (that must have brought unbounded glee to the‘leeches of the Winnipeg Grain Exâ€" change and the packinghouse owners) rushes us closer and faster toward the economic paralys:s that is spreading like the black plague over the western "free enterprise world.‘"‘ Frantic attemupts are made on every side by the spokesmen for mcnopoly to immobilize the largest sections of progressive opinion in the country by branding every progressive person or group who‘ so much as dares question the san"tity of scâ€"called "free enterâ€" prs®" as a Communist. By "free enterâ€" prise" is meant the freedcm of the trusts and: monopolies to glut themâ€" selves at the trough of higher and higher prices and profits and a lower and lower standard of living without thought or responsibility to the nation.

(2) Forming of long term trade agreements with the war devastated hreas of Europe and Asia in the basis of long term credits to these countries (3) Implementation of measures to guarantee the farmers of the country full costs of production and a stable market.
