The King has shown deep practical personal interest in the problem of finding work for those boys who had lost the chance of employment during the depression. As president of the Industrial Welfare Society, of which he was also president when he was Duke of York, he said: "I have often been approached by boys whom I have met in camps and other places, with a request that I help them find suitable jobs. "Many of these boys would prove useful in the industrial field. It would be a great help to me if I could have the names of any employers who are prepared from time to time to consider these boys."
