RURAL SETTLEMENT
ACTIYE PREP AR ATION S FOR PLACING UNEMPLOYED MEN ON SECTIONS WELLINGTON, ' Thursday. Although the Unemployment Amendment Bill has not yet passed the Legislative Council, it is believed that the Minister in Charge of Unemployment,, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, is already making plans for putting its |provi,sions into effiect in order that there should be no delay in dealing with the unemployment problem. The Government realises that the coming winter is likely to resplt in an increased number of men being thrown out of work and as there is little or no productive work offering in the cities, it is anxious that the plan embodied in the Bill should be put into effeet at the earliest possible moment. The Bill will probably finally pass the Legislative Council to-morrow and Mr. Coates will(then be in a position to announce the first allocations of sections. It is believed that there has been a ready response from farmers, particularly in the northern districts, and that before many weeks it will be possible to place the first men on rural sections. Mr. Coates intends to give his close personal attention to the launching of the scheme and as soon as his Parliamentary duties allow he will take an active interest in placing unemployed men on the land.
