LAND SETTLEMENT
PLACE IN REHABILITATION (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) Wellington, This Day. “I think the question of land settlement should be arresting the attention of every member of this House at the present time,” said Mr D. C. Kidd (Nat., Waitaki) in the House of Representatives yesterday, “but it seems to be a question the Government is afraid to face up to.” It was not wise to wait until the men got back from the war and then get all hot and bothered about rehabilitating them. They should plan ahead wisely. SHORTAGE OF ELECTRIC POWER Insufficiency of electric power at the present time was an obstacle to the starting of new industries and that was going to affect the rehabilitation of servicemen, stated Mr W. J. Broadfoot (Nat., Waitomo) when he was speaking on the Imprest Supply Bill in the House' of Representatives yesterday afternoon. Mr Broadfoot suggested to the Minister of Works that it might be possible to arrange with Sweden now for the building of necessary machines for the generation of more electric power in the Dominion. To overcome any manpower shortage it might also be possible to arrange with Sweden to send some men to the Dominion to construct additional hydro-electric stations.
