SOLDIER SETTLERS.
REVALUATION OF LAND URGED. (Per Press Association). INVERCARGILL, March 22. The financial plight of returned soldiers who had been placed on the land by the Government, and who now found it almost impossible to meet their commitments, was placed before the 'Southland provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union this afternoon. Mr W. R. Mabson, president of the Invercargill Returned Soldiers’ Association, and Mr W. Ayson, vice-presi-dent of the Aparima branch of the Farmers’ Union and] honorary secretary of the Qtautau sub-branch of the R.S.A., both spoke of the necessity of revaluing land occupied by soldier settlers, in order that they might have a reasonable chance of making good. At the same time, the speakers asked for support for a petition which had been drawn up urging the scaling down of land values for soldier settlers. After discussion the Farmers’ Union passed a resolution urging those responsible to give special and general consideration to soldier settlers in any readjustment of land values.
