DISCHARGED SOLDIERS.
FORECAST OF REPATRIATION. By Telejripta—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 26. Lieutenant Stabback, formerly on Major-General Gellibrand's staff, and now secretary of the Australian and New Zealand Discharged Soldiers' Association, interviewed, stated that his committee welcomed the repatriation proposals as liberal without being overgenerous. They were practically based on the committee's to the High Commissioner. In the last six months there had been approximately 8000 soldiers discharged in Britain, three-fourths of whom had married. It was anticipated that 3000 would apply for repatriation, together with probably 4600 dependents. The estimated coat of transport was £300,000. It was suggested that repatriation be spread over 12 months to avoid congesting the Australian labor market.
