§ 39. Mr. J. MASONasked whether, seeing that many employers have kept the cottages and homes of employés who have joined the Colours available for them on their return, and consequently have no house for a substitute, he will arrange that where a soldier is returned for employment on the land similar to the employment upon which he was engaged before enlistment, such soldier shall be returned to his former employment instead of to similar 198 employment in a different part of the country away from his wife and family and under a different employer?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe detailed allotment of individual soldiers to farmers is carried out by the Food Production Department. I do not doubt that the considerations advanced are duly borne in mind, so far as is practicable.
