for her soldiers after the war with
c~ommendable energy and forethought.
For some months the Australian
patriation fund has been devoting it.
self to the consideration and devel-
opment Of various plans whilst many
practical steps have been taken by
individuals and communities toward
the formation of definite settlement
schemes, says a correspondent. The
state government of New South Wales
has set aside special areas for cultiva-
ton by returned soldiers. These eff
forts were supplemented by the gen.
crosby of one landowner who gave q
tract of land amounting to thousands
of acres for that purpose. Australians
first need is population and the COM
monwealth will have an opportunity,
after the war, not only to supply her
W need but also to do a great serv-
ice to the labor market by ~affording
that room for adjustment" which 1t
will need. The federal government
has already promised S1O,OOO,OOO for
tie work and has pledged itself TO
raise an additional $150,000,00O in the
future.
