VICTORIA,
March

(CP)
"The
people
want
the
action
we
Liberals
promised
them,"
declared
O.
O.
McGeer
K.C
Liberal
member
for
Vancouver
llurrard,
in
the
Legislature
yesterday.
"Work
and
wages
were
pledged
and
we
proposed
to
see
that
the
wages
of
men
were
given
precedence
over
wages
of
money."
The
work
and
wages
program
was
absurd
unless
predicated
on
a
complete
and
fundamental
change
in
the
monetary
system."
Mr.
McC.eer
declared,
lie
pledged
his
support
to
the
government
if
it
carried
out
what
he
considered
Liberal
policies.
