In the name of the Labor-Progressive party I pledge full support to the trade unions in their struggle for, higher wages and_ social security. This. great country of ours has been built up and. made fruitful by the labor of its people. Its peo- ple are callled upon now to estab- lish a new, truly Canadian national policy. Only such a change can guarantee continuous expansion for our industries; markets for our farmers; opportunities for our youth; social security and happi- ness for every family in French and English-speaking Canada. All those aims can be attained, how- ever, if all sections of Labor will unite in action to PUT CANADA FIRST! That is the urgent need of the Labor movement, its duty to its own best interests and to the interests of Canada. Through labor unity and action a people’s ‘majority, can be elected to parlia- ment and a new national ‘policy can be introduced, to guarantee that every Canadian worker wiil| have a job at union wages, that unemployment and economic de- pression are banished from the land. : i Our Canada can be truly great, enjoying stable prosperity, a mighty force for peace and friend- ship in America and the world. The Liberal and Tory parties have sold out Canada to Wall Street and look at the “conse- quences: : @ 500,000 breadwinners are unemployed in this rich land; @ Prairie farmers have had their incomes slashed by 50 per- cent in the first six months of this year; | @ A trade blockade, set up by: Wall Street, shuts off Canadian exports to the British Common- wealth and the Socialist markets; | @ Hard-faced big business re- jects the just ,demands of rail- roaders, auto, steeel, metal min- ing, coal mining, agricultural implements, electrical and build- ing trades workers. _ - But look at the other side of the picture: —~ ‘ see @ In 1953 the bosses raked in Profits of $5,419,000,000 from the toil and sweat of Canada’s workers and farmers; they took more than a fifth of all the wealth produced in Canada dur- ing the year; 4 @ Wall Street monopolies, with their $8.5 billion “investment” in .Canada, suck hundreds of mil- lions in profits to the U.S. while . they block Cana an nati6n- building projects such as the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Trans- Canada “Gas Pipeline, a great steel industry, etc. ..U.S. dump- ing is ruining our coal mining, textile, needle trades and manu-. facturing industries as well as our farm economy. Cre St. Laurent and Drew support |the Yankee big business policies which spell disaster for Canada, and which are pushing our country towards a terrible economic crisis. They support the Eisenhower-Mc- Carthy policies which drive for war in Europe and Asia, through arm- ing the German and Japanese fascists, through rejecting the sure safeguard against war; the peace- ful co-existence of capitalist and socialist lands, trade and friend- | ship with all lands, the banning of atomic weapons and gradual con- trolled’ reduction of armaments. ,done if Canada’s $2 billion a ye |arms budget were reduced!
