the imperial ministry or shipping and
the Canadian war board nave concluded
that the rate Of return a approximate
5000 men a month,
Close study of the military and eco
monte phases Of rehabilitation resulted
ir a decision to first return men whose
trade classification showed there was
immediate use for them in industry.
Preference is to be given married men,
the order of their return to be deter
mined by the length OF time in over
seas service. Then single men will be
returned along the same general lines.
Classification of the troops into oc-
cupational groups by the militia de-
partment was deemed advisable to
meet the requirements OF the labor mar
ket in the various districts, To return
the men regardless or their occupa-
ton in civil life and demands of the
labor market in their respective dis
tricts would work a hardship upon them
