APPEAL TO INDUSTRY
UNEMPLOYED EX-SERVICEMEN. ADDRESS BY PRINCE OF WALES. (British Official Wireless). Rec. 5.5 p.m. . Rugby, March 20. The Prince of Wales inaugurated. at the Mansion House the 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 (Dr. Cosmo Lang), the Lord Mayor of London (Sir Stephen Killik), the Labour Minister (Mr. Oliver Stanley) and Admiral Jellicoe 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 in 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 as part of the scheme for providing work for distressed districts.
