The resolutions of the Sturgeon Falls Congress

The Social Crediters of the Union of Electors, assembled in Congress at Sturgeon Falls, unanimously approved the following resolutions which were sent to the various governments of our country:

• The abolition of the income tax and its replacement by the distribution of the periodic dividend to all, which dividend is more in conformity with modern progress:
• The raising of Family Allowance rates to the point where they will regain their original purchasing value. Family, Allowance rates should at least be commensurate with the rise in the cost of living:
• A thorough house-cleaning of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This institution which is supported by the money of Canadian citizens, and hence is the property of Canadian citizens, is more and more becoming the principle medium of propaganda favorable to and fostering Communism, a doctrine which is alien to the way of life of this land, and which is deadly to the liberty and security of every citizen. Crediters also demand that the Union of Electors be granted a quarter of an hour a week on the English and French radio and TV networks of the CBC so that the people of this country may become familiar with the only philosophy which will give them true liberty and true security:
• Opposition to obligatory state hospital insurance. The private insurance companies are perfectly competent to issue adequate hospital (and medical) insurance to all who may wish it. The function of the government is not to meddle in matters which concern private groups and insttiutions, but, rather to make it financially possible for all citizens to take advantage of the services and goods which are offered in abundance by private services and sources of production. Thus each can, with liberty and dignity, look to their own medical care without interference from bureaucracy.
• Opposition to the fluoridation of public water supplies. The function of our water systems is to furnish the purest water possible. Consequently, no foreign element should be introduced into this water except when the most urgent necessity makes such an action imperative as is the case with chlorine. Having due regard for the controversy raging between men of science as to the harmful effects of fluoride on the body, any city official who advocates or takes steps to enact the fluoridation of the water supply, is gambling with the health and welfare of the people. 
• The application of the financial doctrines of Social Credit through the intermediary of the Bank of Canada. This through the financing of all production which is physically possible and which will meet the needs and desires of the people, such financing to be in the form of the advancement of credit by the Bank of Canada without interest charges. Also a periodic dividend is to be issued to each citizen in recognition of the right of each one to a free share in the production which results in a large measure from the community factor, namely, the accumulation of progress made in each generation and handed on to the next, a heritage which is not the property of individuals or groups of individuals, but of all society, all individual citizens. And finally the adjustment of prices by a discount to the buyer, and compensation to the seller, such rates to vary according to the ratio between global production and global consumption thus making inflation impossible.
