Gifford, | candidate in the federal by-election {and Elmo Dunn, the standard bear- er in the provincial election. | "The natural market for beef cattle is the United States," Mr. Gardiner said, "and farmers are right in believing that if they could {export their beef cattle there, they | could get the "best prices. Bu! th fact must be taken into considera- tion, If we were to open the market | for cattle and hogs in the United | States, we would of necessity have |to open the market for feed grain. | And then feed grain would cost | twice as much as it does now. "Hog prices would rise and while the farmer might get a better price costs would double." He added that the government was moving to remove marketing restrictions to allow farmers to market their cattle anywhere. Tracing the record of the Liberal party in the social service field, he listed the social legislation which his party had placed on the statute books, mentioning co-operatives, unemployment insurance, work- men's compensation and the new national health program. {mind was the inauguration of fam- |ily allowances, which he declared |was a boon to all Canada. In th i regard, he said that Prime Minis- ter King had walked into a calinet meeting one day and said that al- though he was a bachelor, he thought that those who did not have children should help the load of those who did.

Electors vote June 7. | Mr, Oliver told a Sault rally that it was to the "discredit" of Pre- mier Drew's government that the Ontario Workmen's Compensation Board had been without a chair- man for more than a year. He said the position had been left vacant since the death of William Morri- son, former Mayor of Hamilton. On Middle Course He said at Chelmsford that what he called the "extremely reaction- ary" policies of the Progressive Conservative party had: helped to strengthen left-wing parties, He deo- scribed the Liberal party as one which aimed at a course between the reaction of the right and the | radical policies of the left and said that, if elected in Ontario, it would -seek agreement with the federaa government on taxation. In his Sudbury s;eech, Mr. Oliver claimed that Premier Drews is no longer discussing provineia! issues in his campagn speeches, He said the Premier has turned to discuse sion of devaluation of th2 Cana= dian dollar and other"national and international problems. Premier Drew told a Windsor audience that his government's $30,060.000 housing act has started | a building boom which could ke felt | right across Ontario. He said the government had reduced down pay= ments on new homes by guarantee ing up to $1,250 on a secopd-mpeshesn, gage. -- : "We know from the thousands of applications that this is encour= aging many to build who formerly were unable to do so because they could not meet the down payment." Cites Conversion In his Sarnia speech the Premier said Ontario will - benefit from | United States electrical research as a result of the proposed conversion to 60-cycle power of those sections of Ontario now using 25-cycle. He said many electrical developments |are on a diiferent frequency than the United States. "We have found that many eome panies are hesitating to start op~ erations on Ontario because pro- duction for the province involves two frequencies." He said the cause of the recent power shortage was that Ontapio had been expanding faster than any | Other comparable area in the world. "Today's demand for power is 50 per cent higher than when the war ended." Mr. Jolliffe said at Hamilton that Premier Drew is doing everything {in his power to keep the C.I.O, out of Ontario. "Mr. Drew is just.as determined today as he was in 1937 to destroy unions of the Ontario workers al- though the attempts are being 'made in a more subtle way. : "His attempts to smash the labor | movement will fail. The CIO, | Canadian Congress of Labor and |the Ontario Federation of Labor are here to stay and they will be here in Ontario long after. Mr. Drew is gone and forgotten. ! ! At. Brantford he said the C.C.F. is in a different position today tBan it was four or five years ago."
