Mackenzie King This message was given personally by Mr. King to A. D. McAlister, Vice-president of t^ie Grey- Bruce Liberal Association, May 30, 1945, at London. Ontario. I £&. iK Major Walter E. Harris W. L. Mackenzie King Return the Liberal Government Because : We have paid the farmers of Eastern Canada alone subsidies on his produce to the extent of over $92,000,000, including Hofe Premiums in excess of $7,000,000 and Butterfat Subsidy of over $31,000,000. We have guaranteed your sale of Cattle and Hogs at present prices to the end of 1916 by contracts with the British Government, and trade agreements have been made with twenty other countries. We are the party who have always obtained for you freer access to the .\merican market for your livestock and, as soon as wartime conditions permit, the present embargo will be lifted and farmers will again receive the benefit of closer trade relations with the United States. We shall encourage production by maintaining the pres- ent system of floor prices in order that farm income shall be increased. Despite the strong opposition of leading Conservatives, we introduced Family .Vllowances, which will pay to the families of the riding of Grey-Bruce $36,928 monthly, com- mencing next month â€" if the Liberal Government is returned. This is only but a part of the advanced social legislation being carried throiigh by your Liberal Government. This country has suffered three serious depressions â€" 1892 to 1896, 1911 to 1914, and 1930 to 1935 â€" all under Con- servative governments... If you vote Conservative you are sup- porting a party which was in power when you sold hogs as low as $3.00 and your butterfat at 16 cents I "Our first concern is for the returned man," declared Mackenzie King on V-E Day. and this is already shown by the gratuities, pensions and re-establishment credits set by the Liberal Government, and which are the highest of any country in the world. RETURN THE RETURNED MAN! On Mon., June 11, Mark Your Ballot P<^ Open 8:00 a.ni. to 6:00 p.m. HARRIS, Walter Edward Vote Vote Early Vote Liberal â€" Grev- Bruce Liberal .\ssociation
