LAuRlER's MANIFESTO
Declares Human Life and Not Wealth
10 Being Conscripted.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov 4-Sir viii
frid Laurier, Veteran leader OF the
Opposition in Parliament, issued a
manifesto "to the Canadian people"
tonight In which he outlined the
platform upon which his party Will
stand in the election next month.
On the all-important question OF
participation in the war, Sir. Wilfrid
claimed that "a fundamental objec-
tion to the Governments policy OF
eonscription is that it conseripts hui
man life only and does not attempt
TO conseriRt-Hseaith, resources, or the
services OF any persons other than
those who come within the age limit
prescribed by the military service
act"
The first duty OF Laurier admin
istration, he asserted, would be TO
find the men, money and resources
necessary to ensure the fullest meas
ure to support to our heroic soldiers
at the front and enable Canada TO
continue to the very end to do her
splendid part to win the war"
'As to the present military sery-
ice act" he added. my policy will be
not to proceed further under Its pro-
visions, until the people have an OPP
portunity to pronounce upon 1t by
way OF a referendum. pledge my
self 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 sit.
uation which is admittedly critical .
Sir Wilfrid promised: Tariff reform,
control Of food supplies and prices. a
stop to protiteering
The two increases in the tariff
made since the beginning OF the war,
he would remove. There are IL per
cent on all commodities coming into
Canada from outside Great Britain
and five per cent on foods coming
from Great Britain. He would also
Immediately remove the duties on ag-
ricultural implements and other es-
sentials as demanded by the West.
ern farmers.
In connection with the high cost OF
living, he said he would take drastic
steps to bring under government con
troll all food production of the factor
les 30 that food may be sold at a
fixed price under control OF the gov
ernment II satisfactory arrange
ments could not be made with the
food producing factories, Sir Wilfried
declared he would not hesitate to
commander.
"One Of the most important contri.
buttons toward winning the war;
the manifesto said, lis to put stoll
to profteering on war supplies. The
government has deliberately encour
aged profiteering for the benefit OF
It's partisan followers. A first duty OF
my administration would be TO en-
sure to the country which pays for
war supplies, the excess Of exorbitanl
profits being realized by proiiteers
II necessary, Sir Wilfrid declared
he would not hesitate to take control
Of the factories engaged In the supply
Of war materials.
