"quite clear" that the change In policy was decided upon before he left for an inspection trip in Great Britain and he personally signed the petition which recommended increasing the land holdings, The statement continued, "Unfortunately, due to the very acute housing situation existing in Canada, & bellef grew up that the small holding provision of the Vet- erans' Land Act was a housing measure, Nothing is further from the original concept of the. act. The Veterans' Land Act is exact- ly what its name implies, "However, before all housing in Canada was co-ordinated my colleague, the Minister for Recon- struction (C. D. Howe), we felt that perhaps the Veterans' Land Act could be used to make some contribution to the housing situa- tion, Accordingly, we, as a depart- ment, bullt approximately 3,000 homes on one-half acre plots. We authorized the purchase of rural properties on one-half acre plots of land, "Perhaps we are responsible for the misconception which arose be- cause of this desire to assist veter- ans who were seriously affected in their rehabilitation by the fact that they were unable to find or finance a place to live, Return To Original Concept "However, when all the housing as such, was co-ordinated under the Minister for Reconstruction, we felt it incumbent that we should return to the original concept of the Vet- erans Land Act, that is, to a small rural establishment where a Vet- eran could add to his income and to make his living from the product of his own land. I think it will be agreed that a half acre of land does not offer this possibility." The statement added that there seemed to be some misconception that al] veterans not established by September 12, the date the re- gulation went into effect, would be' barred, but "this is not correct." Committements were made to a number of veterans who were not established before September 12 and these will be honored. In addition a number of veter- less than the presently required minimum, on their own responsibil- ity, intending to apply at a later date to have these small hondings financed through the Veterans' Land Act. "Certainly, the fullest considera- tion will be given to all this latter class of cases and if the veteran's purchase was in good faith, in order to secure a property before it was sold to a civilian, then I am pre- pared to recommend that the de- partment consider such as a moral committment," the statement said. "A further point is that there is a very definite tendency to contrast the amount of a man's re-establish- ment credit which he may use for urban housing with the maximum grant of $2,320 available under the Veterans' Land Act. Few Over $2,320 "While I do not have the figures, I would say that not one veteran in five hundred, settled on a small holding, has received a grant of $2,- 320. The maximum grant he can receive for land and buildings is approximately $1,400 and if his grant for land and buildings reach- es this amount, he gets no grant for stock and equipment. "However, in the normal practice, the average veteran settled on a small holding, could receive a grant of approximately $1,800, but of this, $350 would be for farming equip- ment not applicable to a half-acre project or to urban housing. "It therefore becomes apparent that a much more equitable con- trast is the amount of a veteran's re-establishment credit is compared approximately $1,500, ans purchased small holdings of | with a maximum land grant of |, about $1,40, or a land grant and a || grant for household equipment of || | "When it Is considered that those || veterans who have any lengthy and | | eventful service overseas have a || re-establishment credit of from |i $800 to $1,100 available for urban |{ fore he receives his title either to the land or to the chattels, I feel this matter of title is worth con- sidering in balancing the amount of assistance available under the re- establishment Credit legislation and under the Veterans' Land Act, "The veterans themselves realize this is best evidenced by the fact that up until the present time, 27,- 000 veterans have used their re-es- tablishment credit for urban hous- ing while only 6,000 have elected to use the Veterans' Land Act small holding provisions, "I have been somewhat disturb ed by suggestions that this change in the Veterans' Land Act is a breach of faith, It is not that, but rather a return to the original con- cept for which we deviated in the housing crisis in order to assist in the situation... The Veterans' Land Act is a land settlement act and there is no change in government policy in returning to that concept of it insofar as small holdings are concerned, "In respect to the half-acre es- tablishments which we have made, it should be pointed out this is roughly the equivalent of two ure ban lots, Our experience has been that due to the housing shortage, many veterans whose employment is purely urban, have been encour- aged to take up residence many miles from their place of employ~ ment simply because it offered a way out of their housing difficule ties."
