DEFENCE JOBS
PREFERENCE TO CAPABLE RETURNED/ MEN. Pre«s Association. CHRISTCHURCH, May 28. Replying to statements regarding tho employment of returned soldiers in the Defence Department, Sir James Allen ■said it had been the policy of the department to give, preference to capable, suitable returned soldiers of all ranks when filling positions in the department. A periodical purging was made in respect of men who were not returned soldiers. , : There had been no alteration recently in this policy. Tho recent speeding-up in this matter of purging was due to the number of fit men arriving in the Dominion and the greater number of staff corps and permanent staff positions becoming available. He added that General Ricnardson had not yet assumed his duties as officer in charge of administration.
