No other party can even apâ€" proach this record. These men know that no other party has such realistic and comprehensive plans for rehabiliâ€" tation. They know that the Progresâ€" sive Conservative Party is the service men‘s party. They know that John Bracken, father of three sons on active service, understands the problems, the hopes Let our veterans now ask themâ€" selves this question. Does the spirit of political partisanship which the King Government has consistently manifested in time of war, offer any assurance of a square deal for vetâ€" erans in time of peace? Does the iniquitous manpower policy which split Canada apart reflect the right spirit? â€"Remember in war, as in peace, political policies infallibly inâ€" dicate party principles. "Platitudes will not fill empty stomachs," declares John Bracken, "nor generalities provide jobs for those who have fought, nor wordy declamations about sacrifice ease the load of the widows and children whose husbands and fathers gave life itself that we might live in peace and security." Throughout the war, Canadian service men and womsn have had their fill of platitudes and generalities. In carrying out the demobilization of Canada‘s Armed Forces the primary consideration should be the interest of those who have served. Demobilization should be based on the principle that members of the Armed Forces should not be discharged until their economic security is assured by placement in gainful employment or by assisted training and education to that end. Here, in this ?imple s'gatementflc:f and the fears of veterans. progressive, realistic policy is the + only true solution of the fundamental 3‘hey say. with .Jo}'m Bracken problem by which every exâ€"service The cost of winning the war man and woman is faced.

No time gainful employment for e veteran will be discharged against his man and woman who has worn will until he is assured of a decent Canadian uniform will be accept ivenBood. Every man and woman must be o The very first clause of the Progressive Conservative plans for the reâ€"establishment of Veterans, adopted at the National Convention of December, 1942, is as follows:â€" & A Square Deal for Veterans Assured by Progressive Conservatives DEMOBILIZATION Published by the Progressive Conservative Party, Ottawa. In the words of our leader, we of the Progressive Conservative Party, ‘"accept the challenge to demonstrate to you who fought that you shall not be handicapped in days of peace beâ€" cause you responded to the nation‘s call in days of war." The ‘"first in, first out" principle will be followed on demobilization â€" with a job at decent pay assured to the veteran when he returns to "civvy" street. Under a Progressive Conservative government, recorded condition of personnel on enlistment will be acâ€" cepted as sufficient proof in determinâ€" ing disability pension. The veteran ;vill be entitled to the benefit of the oubt. They, with John Bracken, pledge themselves to revise an outâ€"moded pensions act, to humanize its adminâ€" istration, to eliminate red tape and inexcusable delays. Pension rates will be reviewed at once and increased to bring them in line with higher living costs. and the fears of veterans. They say, with John Bracken "The cost of winning the war and the cost of reâ€"establishing those who fought in it, is one and indivisible. In the plainest words at my command, I say to you that nothing short of fullâ€" time gainful employment for every man and woman who has worn the Canadian uniform will be acceptable. Every man and woman must be given an opportunity to earn a good living. If existing enterprise cannot do this, the State must, and will." These service and exâ€"service canâ€" didates, with John Bracken, pledge themselves that, under no cireumâ€" stances, will existing benefits to veterans be lessened. On the conâ€" trary, they will be increased and exâ€" tended. THREE
