_ »~LAURIER WOULO SUSPENO MILITARY ‘NO AGREEMENT P service Act PenOING TAKINE OF ! WIG REACHED REFERENDUN 0F CAMDIM ELECTOR§ |ecmior es sn Ottawa,. Nov. 4.â€" Sir Wilfrid Leurier bas issued his manifesto. . In a document addressed "To the Canadian People" the Opposition leader de clares his policy and outlines his aims. On the allâ€"important question of participation in the war, Sir Wilfrid claims that "a fundamental objection to the Government‘s policy of cenâ€" scription is that it conscripts human life only, and does not attempt to conscript wealth, resources, or the services of any person other thar those who come within the age limit prescribed by the Military Service Sir Wilfrid Issues Manifesto in Which War Reviewed at Length and Voluntary System of Recruiting is Adâ€" hered toâ€" Condemns War Time Election Act. ‘The first duty of a Laurier Administration would be "to find the men, money and resources necessary to insure the fullest measure of support to our heroic soldiers at the front, and to enable Canada to continug to the very end to do her splendid part to win the war." s STANDS BY REFERENDUM. Act To this Sir Wilfrid adds: "As to the present Military Act, my policy will be not to proâ€" ceed farther under its provisions unti| the people have an opportunity to pronounce upon it by way of reterendum. . | pledge myself forthwith to submit the act to the people, and with my followers to carry out the * wishes of the majority of the nation as thus expressed." As remedies for an economic situation "which is admittedly critical," Sir Wilfrid promises: "'rarlE ;ofom. Control of food supplies and prices. . Stop to fAteering." i P REMOVE TARIFF INCREASES. The two increases in the tarif made since the beginning of the war he would remove. â€" These are: _ 7% per cent. on all commodities coming into Canada from outside Great Britain, and 5 per cent. on goods coming from Great Britain. He also "would immediately remove the duties on agricultural implements and other essentials, as demanded by the Western farmers." PROMISES TARIFF RED UCTFION, FREE AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS In connection with the high cost of living he would ‘"take drastic steps to bring under Government control all foodâ€"producing factories, . so that food may be sold at a fixed price under the control of the Governâ€" ment." + If satisfactory arrangements could not be made with the foog proâ€" ducing factories, Sir Wilfrid declares, he would not. hesitate to _ com:â€" mandeer. _ The manifesto proceeds: + STOP PROFITEERING. "One of the most important contributions towards winning the war is to put a stop to profiteering on war supplies. _ The Government has deliberately encouraged profiteering for the benefit of its partisan followers. A first duty of my administration would be to insure to the country which pays for war supplies the excess of exorbitant profits being realized by profiteers." c If necessary, Sir Wilfrid continues, he would not hesitate to take conâ€" trol of the factories engaged in the supply of war materials. â€" Suitable Government shops also, Sir Wilfrid believes, should be turn« ed to the production of war materials at cost prices. 2 Sir Wilfrid passes in review alike some of the législation of the late Government and the program of the present. He finds no trace in the manâ€" ifesto of the Union Government that its Liberal members have influenced their colleagues to the adoption of measures they deemed essential. He refers to "most of the articles" in that manifesto as "stale commonplaces 2o2 . . resurrected for a new election." He declares of the War Times Election Act, passed last session, that It is a blot upon every instinct of justice, and holds the view that the Canâ€" »dian NortPem Railway purchase should be adjudicated upon by the new Parliament. . Consult the People. ‘ "A consuitation of the people at ghort and regular periods is the right of a free people. . The constitution provides accordingly for a general election every five years. | It is urâ€" deniable that thera has existed . a strong desire in the community to avoid an election during the war. "An impression prevails that had 1 accepted the invitation of the Prime Minister to join his Government . a now extension would have been posâ€" gible. _ This impression is absolutely erroneous, the fact being that the inâ€" vitation extended‘ to me was coupled with the stipulation that the Coalition Government would pass a conscription measure, and then appeal to the coun: LAURIER‘S MANIFE STO CONDEMNED BY ENGLISH SPEAKING PRESS OF GANADA; FOLLOWERS ARE OPTIMISTIG Ottawa, Nov. 5.â€"Satisfaction that Sir Wilfrid Laurier‘s position on conâ€" scription is set forth so clearly, is expressed by Government leaders . and supporters toâ€"day. On the other hand Laurier followers declare it will gain their leader many votes. Hon. Sidney Fisher, who is Sir Wilfrid‘s Chief English speaking supporter in Quebec, was here toâ€"day in consultation with the opposition leader. Newspaper editorial comments gathered from all parts of Canada indicated almost unanimous disapproval among the English speak ing press of Sir Wilfrid‘s manifesto. Notable exceptions were the London Advertiser and the Edmonton Buiietin.

Says Program is Conservative. ‘‘The Government, as recently reâ€" constructed, the Union Government,: soâ€"called, is now appealing to the country for support. Six members of the Liberal party, some of them close personal friends, have consented to become members of the Administraâ€" tion, and the program which they inâ€" tend to follow has already been placed 'bfiorp the public, but in this program no trace is to be found that the Libâ€" eral members in the Administration bave succeeded in infinencing their colleagues to the adoption of measures which they deemed essential not only to win the war, but for the welfare of the country at all times. BULGARIAN POSITIONS8 (Canadian Press) | Amsterdam, Nov. 5.â€"The following Bulgarian official statement, dated Sunday, has been received hére:â€"â€" "West of Lake Ochrida and Cerna bend there has been vigorous barrage fire. !Ent of Vardar the enemy, after proâ€" longed drum fire, attacked but was reâ€" 'pulned with heavy losses.

Union Government to be called at an early date. â€" The Liberals proposed that unâ€" ‘\Ieu the joint committee by a twoâ€" thirds vote could agree on a candidate that nomination sbould be made at a \convemlon of the Union Government supporters. This was not satisfactory ‘to the Conservatives, who were fear ful that the Liberals would "pack" the convention and support a nominee of that party. It was pointed out reâ€" peatedly by the Reform delegation that there was only one desire . on their part ard that was to play the pame fair and aboveâ€"board.. They declared that the Union Government has expressed its desire that the Fusâ€" jon ui!didltes should be nominated in conventions called by supporter® bf the new Government. > After tae meeting President S,.

On Tuesday he . informed the writer that the calling of the convention would be deferred for a few days in order that the two parties could come to a definite agreement. It has been found by the members of ‘the two committees that they are not las far apart as they thought they were when the meeting adjourned.
