CANADIAN ELECTIONS

(Rec. 12.5.) NEW YORK, May 12. Post-war employment is the main issue of the Canadian Federal elections campaign, which opened to-day, said a “New York Times’s’ correspondent at Ottawa. The Liberals enumerate the provisions already made for pensions, medical care jobs land grants, family allowances and the establishment of ex-service-men in business. Progressive Conservatives stress political and economic freedom. They promise the development of Canadian resouices, fair wages and full employment. The C.C.F. Party argues a necessity for a changed system. It declares that the C.C.F. alone is able greatly to augment production and create employment. Conscription dropped after V.E. Day; and is no longer a major issue.
