REHABILITATION PLAN
NEED FOR DEFINITE POLICY URGENCY STRESSED BY FARMERS (P.A.) HASTINGS, Sept. 18. The need for the Government to give the country a lead by announcing a definite rehabilitation plan for men returning from overseas was stressed at a meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union in Hastings yesterday. The R.S.A. proposal for donations of calves to men being settled on the land was before the meeting, and a long discussion ensued whether the lime was ripe for this patriotic effort to be introduced, in view of the fact that there was no clear plan of what action the Government was going to take in the land settlement scheme. When the R.S.A. proposal was read the chairman (Mr N. R. Jamieson) suggested that it was like putting the cart before the horse, for there was no land settlement scheme in view.
“We are always ready to co-operate in any scheme for the rehabilitation of returned men, and no section of the community will do more than we will, but it seems that as yet we have nothing tangible upon winch to work,” he said.
