Build Canadian nationhood
in peace

The Labor-Progressive party places before the
people of our country a new national policy to make
Canada truly great in a world at peace. The Liberal-
Tory parties of big business are selling out Canada
to the U.S. monopolists and robbing our country of
its independence. They have placed fetters on our
economic growth and endangered our national secur-
ity. They are leading Canada to disaster. War in

Korea, the arms race, the trade blockade, the cold
war lies, the growing militarization of our economy
—these spell war and crisis for Canada.

There is another way—restore Canadian inde-
pendence in home and foreign affairs. Use our re-
sources to build up Canadian economy in peace.
Peace in Korea, reduction of armaments, trade with
the world, jobs, security, and higher living stand-
ards—these spell peace and prosperity for Canada.

The Labor-Progressive party calls on Canadians
to unite, work and vote in this election to build
Canadian nationhood in peace.

New horizons for Canada

The LPP proposes a New National Policy

1 to deevlop our rich resources for the benefit
of the Canadian people. ~
In place of the billions for armaments, which

_lead only to crisis and disaster, spend this money on
the people’s needs, on peacetime production.

Build our industries. Develop basic and manu-
facturing industries in every province to process
our raw materials at home.

Stop the surrender of Canada’s markets at the

behest of U..S monopolists. Win back Common-
wealth markets. Trade with the world.

Jobs and security through peace. A job for
every worker, a good living for every farmer and
security for every professional and small business

person.
