REHABILITATION
Sir,—At the evening Parliamentary session on Wednesday, July 1, the munificent sum of was voted on the Estimates for rehabilitation. When approached by mem-f bers for a considerable increase, the Minister did not consider it expedient to lay out any more on rehabilitation just now, for want of labour and fertiliser; shelving the issue by saying that it was a question for the Rehabilitation Board. We should realise who were the beneficiaries of the production from returned soldiers settlements of last war after many years of hard toil when very few came out on the right side of the ledger. It is not reasonabe to think that a Government that boasts that the Housing Scheme cost only 1 per cent should not do something better for those soldiers who are returning every day and who should get a better deal. Procrastination is the thief of time and this go slow policy is beyondl the comprehension of those working for Patriotic purposes under Government control. No land so far has been allotted for those soldiers coming back. Some of them are even now asking for allotments and getting no response. "Why?" Yours etc., W. BRADSHAW.
