(1) Employment Offices. So that everyone—male or female, soldier or civilian—can’ get quickly such jobs as are available the Government is co- operating with the Provinces in establishing a chain of Public Employment Offices. Employ- ers are being urged to make use of these offices to secure any help they need. . Farmers, for example, who need hired men should apply ~to. the nearest office. There will be a Public Employment Office in “every town of 10,000 people—and wherever the need for one exists. There will be 60 different offices in all—one-half are already in operation. (2) Employment Opportunities. The war held up much work that will now be carried on at once, Public works, shipbuild- ing, roadbuilding, railway work —construction of bridges, im- provement Of road-bed, making of new equipment—these will provide new opportunities for employment. In addition, the Government has sent a Trade Mission overseas to secure for Canada a share in the business of providing materials and pro- duets required for reconstruec- tion work in Europe. It has also set aside the large sum of The Repatriation Committee To Solve Canada’s Employment Problem BVERYONE i in Canada should understand just what loing to solve the unemployment problems that may arise through the demobilization of $25,000,000 to be loaned through the Provinces to encourage the building of workmen’s houses. This will mean much new work in the spring. (8) Land and Loans for Soldiers To help soldiers become far- mers the Government has de- veloped a programme _ that includes the proyiding of land, the granting of loans, and the training and supervision of those inexperienced in farming. At present, the soldier is grant- ed, free, in addition to his or- dinary homestead right, ‘one quarter-section of Dominion lands. He also receives a loan up to the maximum of $2,500, These original plans are now being broadened. If Parliament passes the new proposals during this session, the Soldier Settle- ment Board will be able to buy - suitable land and re-sell it to the soldier at cost. ea Land up to the value of $5,000 may be bought by this plan—the money to be repaid in 20 years. The low interest will be ie new proposals ermit- the Soldier Settlement Board to. loan the soldier-farmer up to $2,500 for purchasing equipment, ete., in addition to $5,000 loan on_ his farm.
