REHABILITATION
LOCAL COMMITTEE IGNORED
ADVICE NOT HEEDED
One of tlie points made by Mr P. Woolfield, when proposing the toast to the Maori Battalion at the complimentary Welcome Home Dinner at Waimana last Thursday was in connection with the ineffectiveness of certain aspects of the rehabilitation scheme which had been implimcntecl by the Government. District committees had been set up, he said but the advice they tendered to headquarters did not seem to go down with the officials in Wellington. It almost appeared that they were relegated to the waste paper basket. This attitude seemed to be presented to those who desired to settle on the land, and from what he had experienced it would almost seem that a returned man should explore all other avenues before approaching the Government to help him settle on the land. There was far too long a delay in coming to finality and too niuch 'red tape.'
