(Published by Grey-Brace Pro^essive Conservative Association) JOBS ASSURED BEFORE DEMOBILIZATION A S^\iQTe Deal for Veterans Assured by Progressive Conservatives The very first clause of the Progi-essive Conservative plans for the re-establishment of Veterans, adopted at the National Convention of December, 1942, is as follows : â€" DEMOBIUZATION In carrying out the demobilization of Canada's Armed Forces the primary consideration should be the interest of those who have- sen-ed. 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 emplojonent or by assisted training and education to that end. Here, in this simple statement of progressive, realistic policy is the only true solution of the fundamental problem bj' which every ex-sei*vice man and woman is faced. It is the only assurance of a square deal for all veterans. It is the very basis of the Rehabilitation Policies of the Progressive Conservative Party. No veteran will be discharged against his will until he is assured of a decent livelihood. "Platitudes wUl not lili empty stomachs." declares John Bracken, "7wr generalities provide jobs for those u-ho have fought, nor wordy declamations about sacrifice ease the load of the widows and children u-hose hv-sbands and fathers gave life itself that we might live in neace and security." Throughout the war. Canadian service men and women have had their fill of platitudes and generalities. Let our veterans now ask them- 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 vet- erans in time of peace? Does the iniquitous manpower policy which split Canada apart reflect the right spirit? Remember in war, as in peace, political policies infallibly in- dicate party principles. It is significant that more than half of the Progressive Conservative candidates are service and ex-service men. No other party can even ap- proach this record. These men know that no other party has such realistic and comprehensive plans for rehabili- tation. They know that the Progres- 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 and the fears of veterans. They say, with John Bracken "The cost of winning the war and the cost of re-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 full- time gainful employment for every man and woman who has worn the Canadian uniform wiU be acceptable. Every man and woman ynust be given an opportunity to earn a good living. If existing enterprise cannot do this, the State must, and will." These service and ex-service can- didates, with .John Bracken, pledge themselves that, under no circum- stances, will existing benefits to veterans be lessened. On the con- trary, they will be increased and ex- tended. They, with John Bracken, pledge themselves to revise an out-moded pensions act, to humanize its admin- 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. Under a Progressive Conservative government, recorded condition of personnel on enlistment will be ac- cepted J-.S sufficient proof in determin- ing disability pension. The veteran will be entitled to the benefit of the doubt. 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. 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 be- cause you responded to the nation's call in days of war."
