manions policy will help you the price of all implements advanced considerably be tween 1935 and previous to the outbreak of war hon mr king placed an extra 2 per cent sales tax on all clothing and eatables long before the outbreak of war 1 hon mr king permitted 10000000 pounds of pork 75000 hogs to enter canada from t he united states in january 1940 the restaurants in lindsay orillia toronto and numer ous other centres have been using this corn fed u s pork to your detriment national government will prohibit this importation the board which has been set up to control the price of farm commodities consists solely of representatives of the con sumers there is no representative of the producers on it the dice are loaded against the farmer national government will at once reconstitute this pur chasing board so that the producers are amply protected the national government in great britain two or three years ago requested permission from hon mr king to send from 10000 to 50000 british pilots here to board in canada they also wished to buy about 100000 acres of land for flying purposes they also wished to have aeroplanes made here on an extensive scale thus providing considerable employment the expense of all these would have been borne by the national government of great brittain the king government denied great britain all these re quests and thus assisted in jeopardizing our safety and denied you an additional market for our farm products and denied canada considerable employment and a greater volume of money in circulation if the british empire falls canada is the major war prize we can thank the french for their maginot line and the british navy for our safety today national government will take adequate steps for our defence about 20000000 tourists visit canada annually they leave with us from 250000000 to 8300000000 annually of new wealth to obtain this trade the dominion government were spending s300000 annually in foreign advertising the king government previous to the outbreak of the war had reduced this expenditure to 8100000 and our tourist trade fell off last year 20000000 tourists for an average of one month provid es us with a 15 per cent greater market for your farm products this is an important item and the tourist industry must be en couraged for you derive marked direct economic benefits and in addition many parts of canada rely solely for their maintenance on this trade national government will reinstate this advertising allowance in order to attract more tourists hon mr kings administration increased the cost of your radio license national government will completely abolish this radio license nuisance tax you who farm know your account of the inactivity of the king farmers and the unemployed have been gotten problems on administration the neglected and for- hon mr king properly summoned parliament to declare war it wasnt the liberal party or the national conservative party who declared war parliament almost unanimously de clared war our nation declared war and it is a natronal war and we should have national government to prosecute it w r h mcgregor national government candidate york hon mr king should have formed a national govern ment when war was declared he didnt do so and states that he will have nothing to do with one now hon dr manion appreciating the gravity of the world situation will form a national government for the duration of the war and the period of reconstruction thereafer to preserve protect and enlarge the home market for canadian farmers dr robert j manion has formulated a six- point program for agriculture if called up to form a national government has the following policies in prospect 1 vigorous encouragement of all forms of cooperative mar keting 2 establishment of export boards to handle the export of some farm products and to prevent the international mar ket from breaking down a fair price level for these articles at home 3 protection of canadian fruit vegetable growers through the imposition of seasonal tariffs and protection for the dairy farmer and livestock grower from foreign compe- itition 4 establishment of machinery for the continuous investiga tion of price spreads a thorough investigation into the complaints of the farmers against the packing industry 5 expansion of the canadian farm loan board activities and aid for the farmer in the drainage of his property through longterm loans assistance for him in procuring fertilizer 6 utilization of all available means of scientific investigation to assist the farmer in achieving efficiency and economic production dr manion has declared that he would start another in vestigation of the relationship of the live stock raisers and the packers this was a subject which received extensive investiga tion at the hands of the price spread committee in 1934 for years there have been complaints from the live stock producers that the packing industry has been making unjust profits he declared i dont believe a proper investigation was ever made into the affairs of the packers if we win we are going to have a complete investigation into that industry and if the packers are making unfair profits it will be stopped i our problems particularly our farm problems are of such a magnitude that the entire solution does not lie in any one persons mind and if elected would favor a conference of farmers in east york to obtain the benefit of their sugges tions and recommendations the national conservative party nominated me as their candidate once again after parliament was scuttled dr manion advocated a national government and i heartily and sincerely approve of it the national conservative party has given me complete liberty to associate myself with the national government party in common with all other national govern ment candidates i am at liberty to pursue an independent course in parliament authorized by the east york conservative association
