THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, Creating Opportunities for Employment BESIDES helping to distribute employment through a chain of Employ- ment Offices, the Government has developed plans to create opportun- ities for employment. Briefly, these plans cover the following phases:-- 1. Public Works . During the war, many important' Public Works have been held up. The Min- ister of Public Works, has his plans and preparations made to proceed with the: more necessary of these in the near future. This Committee has also been in touch with Provincial Governments and Municipalities, with a view to impressing upon them the necessity for similar action. The building and public works pro- gramme now in sight will provide employment for many returned soldiers and war-workers, - 2. Railways During the past four years, a great deal of work necessary to keep our railways up to standard has been postponed. Some millions of dollars must be expended on improving road-bed, constructing bridges, buildings and other improvements. Vast quantities of ties are being got out this winter. - Equipment of various kinds must be secured. The Minister of Railways states that as soon as weather conditipns will permit, some thousands of men will be absorbed in various rail- re way undertakings. _ The supplies and materials required will also provide em- ¢ ployment. \ 3. Shipbuilding The shipbuilding programme arranged for by the Government will provide em- ployment for many men during 1919. It is expected that arrangements will be completed to keep the shipbuilding yards in active operation throughout the year. The Goyernment recognises that this ship construction is one of the best means of providing suitable employment for many skilled and other workers. 4. Export Trade ' The Government has established a Canadian Trade Commission. This Commis. sion has an office in Canada and a "trade mission" overseas, Through this trade mission it is anticipated that Canada will securé an important share in the business of providing materials and manufactured products required for reconstruction ' work in Europe. A short time may be required before final details are completed and definite results are announced. The business so secured will be distributed through the regular channels of trade and, thus afford extra opportunities for employment, 5. Housing he Government has set aside the large sum of $25, 000,000 to be loaned through the Provinces in order to encourage the building of workmen's houses. When the season for building arrives, this work should give employment to many hun- dreds of men both in construction work and in the supply of materials. 6. Land Settlement The Government, as already explained in n a former announcement, has developed o> plans to help soldiers to beconiefarmers, providing land, granting loans and giving training and supervision where necessary. Itis expected that a large number of returning soldiers will take advantage of these opportunities. The scheme will involve the expenditure of some millions of dollars, a good deal of which will find its way into building materials, supplies, machinery, etc., all of which will assist in providing employment. 7. Road Building The Government now has under consideration the est} n of joining the pro- vincial governments in financing the construction of "public highways. Should a favorable decision be reached, a Jarge field for employment opportunities will be opened up. Regardless of Federal action, provincial governments are pre paring their own road-making programmes, The Government is alive to the necessity for pro- Paredes amit i employment opportunities, aud stands to assist in every way possible. H corpora and private citizens will join in this feature of Repatriation Work, Canada should have little ; culty with the employment problem. an? rr ma Wa sisa have a large stick of wringers, clothes bas yslotupe pina, Mectre and es,
