FARMS FOR SOLDIERS
AUSTRALIAN POLICY ONLY EXPERIENCED MEN ADELAIDE, Feb. 8. Only servicemen with experience or proved aptitude for farming will be accepted as settlers under the soldiers’ settlement scheme, said the Minister for Post-war Reconstruction, Mr. J. J. Dedman, at a conference on soldier settlement yesterday. After the last war the Government of Australia lost £45,000,000 on such projects. This time the land to be made available would be approved as offering real prospects of success and ex-servicemen would not be weighed down under formidable initial debt burdens. It was hoped to avoid the national disasters such as those which marked soldier settlement after the last war.
