RETURNED MEN.
Since the last war I have come to the conclusion that the failure to rehabilitate returned men is due to pure selfishness, both by these men and the public The whole problem could have been solved almost completely if all returned men who saw service in the line were given a pension of 30/ per week to make up their deficiency brought about by strain of war service, disruption of career, or unadaptability to changed conditions. To suggest this payment would have created a howl of dissension from one end of New Zealand to the other, but nevertheless it would have worked wonders, put heart into the men, put needed revenue in circulation and put business in a flourishing position. They did not get it and you know what happened. TWO BAR.
