RETURNED SOLDIER.
HELP IN HOSPITALS
Sir,—Referring to the difficulty that is being experienced in obtaining staff for domestic duties in hospitals, surely the remedy lies in bringing suitable women and girls from Britain and/or the Continent. There is no doubt that we badly need more population, and here are these good jobs waiting to be filled, whilst overseas are problems of unemployment and food shortage which could to some extent tje lessened by desirable immigrants being brought to the Dominion. With regard to Britain, the position is not very clear. We read predictions of serious unemployment one day and only this week we heard Mr. Attlee stating that all available manpower and woman-power would be required there. This, however, does not apply to Denmark, Norway, Holland, Greece, and other countries in Europe where food, clothing, and other amenities are desperately short and where, I have no doubt, thousands of women of an admirable type could be found who would willingly embrace the opportunity of coming here if they were assured of good, safe billets on arrival. —I am, etc., KILBIRNIE.
