RETURNED SERVICEMEN
DELAY IN SETTLEMENT SCHEME. MR D. McGREGOR’S VIEW. Expressing the hope that the Rahabilitation Board would make early use of the Wairarapa Training Farm for ex-servicemen, Mr Duncan McGregor, chairman of the board of trustees, stated today that in the last war, in 1916, five men were settled on one block in the Wainuioru Valley, besides others in various parts of New Zealand. That, he pointed out, was after two years of war, while at present, well over three years since this war started, not a single man had gone on the land. Mr McGregor said the men should be provided for as they came back and were discharged. If nothing were done until the end of the war, there would be such a great demand that the Government would not be able to cope with it. He saw no reason why the procedure adopted in the last war could not be followed in this one.
