AFTER=WAR POLICY
$ VIEWS OF MAJOR SKINNER. RETURNING NEW ZEALAND MINISTER. CANBERRA, July 21. The difficulties after the first World War should not arise this time in view of the extensive development of secondary industries in New Zealand, said Major Skinner, M.P., today. “The last thing any Government should do is just to give the returned soldier a pension and turn him out,” he said. “We should try to find work for him and train him to be able to do that work 'Mistakes have been made in the past in not devoting enough attention to the vocational side of rehabilitating men in civil life.” Major Skinner, who is returning to New Zealand, said he was astounded at the great interest taken in the Dominions in the United Kingdom, and that one of his first tasks would be to develop New Zealand publicity overseas. The Dominions must get away from the stereotyped scenic film displaying a beautiful glacier or river or sunshine. The normal life and activity of the people must be concentrated on, for this was the kind of information those overseas wanted to know about the people of the Dominions.
