10000 A MONTH
Plan to Return 286,304
Canadian Soldiers

Winnipeg, Canada, Dec. 5.-Plans
for the rehabilitation Of Canadas
a3S3O4 overseas troops under a sys-
lem intended to meet economic and
industrial conditions have been COM
Lieted and will be put into operation
when withdrawal of the forces is con-
scented to by the high command.
After considering available ship
ping facilities and rolling stock in
Canada the Imperial Ministry of
shipping and the Canadian War
BOARD have concluded that the rate
Of return can approximate 10000 men
a month.
Close study of the military and
economic phases of rehabilitation
resulted in a decision to first return
men whose trade classification show
cd there was immediate use for them
in industry. Preference is to be given
married men, the order of their return
to be determined by the length Of
time in overseas service. Then single
men will be returned along the same
general lines.
classification Of the troops into oc-
cpDational groups by the Militia Dc
partment was deemed advisable TO
meet the requirements of the labor
market in the various districts. To
return tho men regardless OF their
occupation in civil life and demands
Of the labor market in their respec-
tive districts would work a hardship
upon them as well as upon indusu3,
officials decided.
Latest figures list 2S6,304 as the
number Of Canadian troops overseas.
An estimate OF how these men will
be distributed among the various
provinces, based on the ratio OF en-
lis: ment in each province. follows:
Ontario, 1880; Quebec, $4,000;
New Brunswick. 1850: Nova Scotia
and Prince Edward Island, 1880:
Manitoba, $500; Saskatchewan. 49,
900; Alberta, II 500 British Column
bia. $4,000.
The problem of bringing back from
England the wives and families OF
Canadian soldiers, estimated at $4,000
persons, has been placed with the
Department of Immigration. They
will be returned to Canada as quickly
as possible, as the government de-
sires to have the soldiers homes re-
established before their arrival.

deer. Going to it. he found he had

discussion of the future of all the is

equator.
Whatever conclusion is reached by
the Allies at the peace conference as
to the disposition of German New
Guinea and German Samoa. not to
mention the Marshall, Caroline and
Ladrone groups, it is generally admit
ted that an entire recasting of the
various administrations of the Brit
ish islands is needed to develop
their great potential wealth, afford
security for trade and ensure ad-
equate defense.

Governor General or High Commits
sioner would not be concerned with
the local government affairs of any
particular group but with the feder-
alton as a whole. He might be as
sisted by Il council composed of ap-
pointed officials, representatives ell
ected by each island group, and
trade commissioners representing
Great Britain, Australia, New Zea-
land and Canada. Local legislatures
would, under such scheme as this,
have as large a measure Of self
government as compatible with the
proportion of whites to South Sea
islanders and Asiatics. incapable at
present Of self-government.
1t is pointed out here. however,
that if the British islands are feder-
ated, means of communication be-
tween them must be provided in order
that their administration and gem
eral welfare may obtain. Existing
steamer services radiate from Sgd
ney in Australia and Auckland in
New Zealand. but groups served by
any one line have no connecting link
with adjacent islands served by 9TH
er lines, or with China and India,
save by way Of Sydney.
Attention is called to the now we'll
known fact that just prior to the
war Germany was engaged in linking
up her Pacific island possessions with
the East with view to a monopoly
of the copra trade; and 1t is argued
from this fact that if there should be
a comprehensive British steamship
service with Singapore at one end
and New Zealand at the other ensur-
