G. Fl. Roberts. British minister OF
labor, recently discussed this sub1ec'
before an audience of British soldiers
at the British Army and Navy Leave
club in Pnris.
The British minister said tcm;,ornr-
lily unemployment difficulties OF demo-
biIized soldiers would be met by a
free out-of-work donation covering a
period Of 12 months after discharge.
This will be additional TO the months
furlOugh given each man on his dis-
charge. during which time pay and al
lOwances are to be continued.
The skilled workman among British
soldiers, Roberts said. is safeguarded
by the munitions of war act. giving
him the assurance OF reinstatement In
employment. Committees. he said
would establish employment agencies

FRANCE HAS MORE
WORKERS THAN JOBS

ty-five comnissions composed Of spe-
cialists in various lines have prepared
a solution.
Germany had Its after-war program
definitely mapped out. First the men
who In civil life were engaged In such
occupations as technical. commercial.
Industrial. financial and transport
were to be freed from u-my service.
Other kinds of wOrkmen were to be
demObilized successfully.
"France must not lose moment In
mapping out its labor readjustment
plan. Otherwise there will be 4 social
catastrophe"
Labor leaders In France point also
to the preparations in America for
distributing farming land to demObli-
lied soldiers. But they remark that
this method of finding something for
the ex-soldier to do Is closed to the
French.
France has no vast unoccupied lands

A committee of members Of the

study the question has just been an

Labor reimbursement is a subject OF

Of Belgium. perhaps-because so muny

When the soldiers are demobillzed
