John Bracken â€" i he tmw^zx On the 11th of Decem- ber, 1942, John Bracken stood in the Audi- torium in Winnipeg be- fore a great concourse of people. John Bracken â€" the Farmer â€" was accepting the leadership of a great resurgent [people's party. In ring- ing tones he was speak- ing of "The People's Charter". And the soul- I searching sincerity of this man of the soil, with I his vision of Canada, ^of Canadians and the "world of plenty that lies within our grasp" was deeply moving. Jlcture the backgrround of this man â€" thie moment, ohn Bracken, the farm boy, on his father's farm in Ontario, milking, haying, carrying in the wood, plowing ... tiien young Bracken, honours student at the Ontario Agricultural College going to Manitoba as represent- ative of the Department of Agriculture ... on to Saskatchewan as Superintendent of Fairs and Farmers' Institutes and Secretary of the Provincial Livestock Association . . . then, later, John Bracken, author, writing books about farms, fanning, farmers . . . And now years later, in Winnipeg, John Bracken, the farmer, ia speaking of "the right of farmers and other {jrimary producers to a fair share of the nation's ncome." Notice the simplicity of the language he uses, clear, concise â€" sincere. "During the last decade," he is saying, "farm income fell to such a low average as to become of very great concern in our Canadian economy. It is the responsi- bility of the nation to see that this great inequity shall not be perpetuated." Then, suddenly his voice rises, becomes even clearer, more incisive. "I may say quite frankly that if it had not been for that plank in your platform which pro- vides for a square deal for agriculture, / wmdd not be here." Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, â€" again the same simplicity, the moving sincerity.. "I am an agrarian," said John Bracken, "and I am a Canadian . . . who seeks to correct the major social injiistice of our day â€" the unfairly small share of the national income that goes to farmers and farm women and farm workers." Then, with a statesman's enlarge- ment of vision, he added, "When the injustice to the farmer is removed, the econoniy of Canada as a whole will be strengthened." No one could be less parochial in his outlook â€" more deeply concerned with national welfare than John Bracken, the farmer who embarked twenty years ago on a career so successful as to be without precedent in contemporary political history within the British Com- monwealth of Nations.
