REHABILITATION PROPOSALS

With the aim of creating conditions which will best enable exservicemen to rehabilitate themselves the executive of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce to-day made three suggestions to. the chamber which, it was considered, should take the form of a remit to be presented at the Associated Chambers of Commerce conference in Novem- - 6lt was suggested that any application approved by the Rehabilitation Board from an ex-serviceman of this war for a license for any Industry under section 14 of the Industrial Efficiency Act, 1936, should be granted, notwithstanding any other provisions of .the Act, such license to be non-transferable within three years. It was also suggested that any ex-serviceman commencing or carrying on any business with the approval of the Rehabilitation Board should receive.an equitablei allocation in comparison with established traders, of goods and services reouired by such a business. The thud suggestion was that any ex-service-man possessing the necessary qualifications to enable him to comply with the rules and regulations of any professional or business society or Association or any industrial: trades union shall not be debarred from membership solely by reason of any resolution or rule of such body limiting the number of its members. The chamber adopted the suggestions.
