REHABILITATION
Sir,—Judging from Mr Fraser’s recent statement on the discharging of grade 111 men who have returned from the war, the “urgent need" for workers in industry is literally the Government’s rehabilitation plan. In Mr Fraser’s own words, if industry had no urgent need for labour, they would be put on ■ to • “social security or' rehabilitation unemployment payments,’’ and the “adequate fair ana generous
provisions. for men who risked their lives for their country and for all of us” would be paid for in jobs in industry, expanded by war’s needs. It would therefore be reasonable to assume that when war’s increased output settles again to peace-time normal, there will be no jobs.—Yours, etc,, BARE KNUCKLES. December 2, 1942.
