POST-WAR PERIOD
EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS
PA AUCKLAND, This Day. The re-employment of returned soldiers and-the employment of present staffs in the immediate post-war peinod will present a real problem unless assistance or relief is given to industry, said Mr. W. J. Truscott, chairman of Radio, Limited, who is also president of the Auckland Manufacturers' Association, in addressing the annual meeting of the company today. He declared that soldiers should be provided with the opportunity of going back immediately into the industries and occupations they left. Later, when the men had settled down, would be time enough for new occupations and investment.. In that way, he said, much loss and many disappointments would be avoided. If manufacturers were short of essential materials, were using overworked or obsolete machinery, and had expended the whole of their earnings on wages, taxation, etc., their employment capacity would be affected.
