20,000 JOBLESS
DISCHARGED TROOPS “NO PREFERENCE SHOWN” AUSTRALIAN PROBLEM MELBOURNE, Jan. 29. More than 20,000 servicemen discharged up to the end of last year are without jobs, according to Brigadier Cremor. The brigadier said preference for exservicemen did not exist, and he doubted if it was ever meant to. Discharged men had little chance of finding employment if they did not have a job before the war, he said. The outlook for over 250,000 men still to be demobilised was a grim one. Men like Lieutenant-General Sir Leslie Morshead and Major-General Clive Steel, who were accustomed to big campaigns, should be in charge.
