What D’ya Mean, 250 Grand?

Don’t let it throw you, brother.

We know $250,000 is a lot of dough, The members
and friends of the Labor-Progressive Party are really going
to have to roll up their sleeves to get that kind of money
before {the coming Federal Elections. That is what the
250 Grand is for: to underwrite the cost of running 65 or
7 candidates for the LPP in the Federal Election.

Every penny of it.

But it’s not quite as tough a job as it looks. You can
break it down to less than $15 per member, if you like. hk
doesn’t look so big that way. Provided all of us are on the
job!

And remember: every nickel, every dollar you collect
by canvassing, in the shop, from. your friends, at public
meetings or any other way you collect it, means another
vote for an LPP candidate, another vote that will send Tim
Buck and his colleagues-to Parliament Hill.

Money and votes are two things we'll need a lot of
come election day. We've got the candidates and we've got
the right program — and brother, if ever there was a RIGHT
program placed before the Canadian people, this is it! . This
is the way Tim Buck puts it:

“The majority of the electors favor policies of jobs ,social
- security and a prosperous domestic market at home with inter

national co-operation in mutual aid and lasting peace abroad.

“The Labor-Progressive Party proposes that the government
placed in office by the coming Federal election shall be a coalztion
government representing and depénding upon the support of
that progressive, reform-minded majority of the people.’**

It makes sense. If ever we hope to bring order and
reconstruction out of this battered old world, we'll all have
to pitch in and co-operate to do the rebuilding — that is al
of us who are not “drew-drips.’** ee

“What do we mean by “the progressive, reform-minded
majority?’ We mean those Canadians who are organized in
the trade union movement, progressive farm organizations, the
Labor-Progressive Party, the CCF and the masses of democratic,
reform-minded liberals who support Mackenzie King. Together
these forces represent the overwhelming majority of the people.”

To get these ideas across to the Canadian people, the
LPP is putting 65 or 70 candidates in the field — men and
women like Tim Buck, Fred Rose, Derise Nielsen. That
makes us a national party with a national program im the
national interest. The job is to elect them. ‘

That’s why we need 250 Grand. It costs money to fight
reaction and we don’t have the kind of folding money the
Tory boys can throw around.

But if we dig a bit, we can get enough. $250,000
will do the trick. Will you call out the gang and start
pitching? . . . NOW?
