THE BRITISH LEGION
UNEMPLOYED MEMBERS PRINCE OF WALES'S EFFORTS (British Official Wireless.l RUGBY, March 20. (Received March 21, at 5.5 p.m.) The Prince of Wales inaugurated at the Mansion House British Legion Employment Week, the object of which is to induce employers to take on more unemployed ex-servicemen. Addressing a prominent gathering which included the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Mayor of London, the Minister of Labour, and Viscount Jellicoc, the Prince said he appreciated all that the employers had done already to absorb ex-servicemen, but unfortunately there were still many thousands who were out of work. He hoped these men would be given their share of the economic revival. Last year the British Legion filled 46,000 vacancies and he hoped, with the assistance of municipal and local authorities and private employers of labour, that there would be a big increase in this number in the present jubilee year.
