To the Premier of the Province of Quebec
To the Ministers
To the provincial M.P.'s
CONSIDERING that our province abounds in production of all sorts; and that, on the other hand, thousands of families are suffering unjustifiable hardships in the face of this abundance; and that these privations have been increasing in intensity due to the ever-growing unemployment which is the result of the policy of credit restriction practiced by the banks, and of automation which replaces men at work;
and that the lack of money in circulation is the only obstacle to the efficient functioning of our economic system;
and that the Liberal party is formally committed to the correction of this situation in that it included in its platform, March 29, 1956, the following political committment:
"The Liberal party considers that whatever is physically possible of realisation in this province should also be made financially possible according to the needs of the population, municipalities, school commissions and other public bodies. Consequently, whensoever it shall come into power as the Liberal government of Quebec, it will take the necessary means to achieve this end."
THE DIRECTORS OF THE UNION OF ELECTORS, in the name of 60,000 member families and in the name of the whole population which would benefit, requests:
That the Liberal government, now in power, immediately set about realizing this principle;
That this government direct an order to the banks, which alone are responsible for the issuing of money, to finance production which the citizens of the province are in the process of realizing and consuming.

Following the example of 700 municipalities and school commissions of the province of Quebec, the school commission of St. Odilon de Cranbourne, in Dorchester County, Quebec, has adopted the resolution presented to many public bodies by the Union of Electors.
This resolution, unanimously adopted by the St. Odilon de Cranbourne school commission on February 13, 1961, mover being Commissioner George Boulin, calls for the federal Minister of Finance to consent to loans without interest charges to finance school commissions and other similar public bodies; or that such credits, without interest, be issued by the Bank of Canada by order of the government.
"Clearly, submission to The World State would no more bring peace or security than surrender to the Ogpu or Gestapo brought it to the Russians or the Germans. The 'social security' thus gained would be that of Belsen, and the World State would enforce its will by a world Gestapo. In the twentieth century which has seen this process begin, that "Parliament of man, and federation of the world" of which the nineteenthcentury poets dreamed looms up as the bloodiest tyranny of all."
