-Presa Association. )
(By Telegraph-
CHRISTCHUHCH, This Day. Having completed his task of providing rotational full-time employiuent for 7000 married men throughput the Dominion, the Minister of Labour, the Hon. P.'C. Webb, is now giving serious' attention to the problem of finding suitable jobs for single men registered a* unemployed. The Minister said to-day that, he lioped very shortly there would be a considerable number of men employed on farm. development work in tlie North Island. There were many thousands of acres of Crown lands suitable for settlement which needed breakingin and the Government was uow cohsidering the question of orgauising camps on the same lines as the I'ublio . Works camps with the idea of absorbing a number of men on the creation of national assets. The whole seheme, Mr Webb added, would be reviewed on the return of the Ministre of Finance, the Hon. YValter Nash, when all the Ministers would be able to giv© further attention to the problem. Unfortunately the Soutb Island did not olfer the same opportunities for land development as the North Island and the question of irrigation would receive added c'onsideration on that account. *
