SUPPLEMENTARY 297 



(6) That demobilization should take place only after return 

 to Canada. 



(c) That first selection for return and demobilization should 

 be made in the order of length of service of those who 

 have definite occupation awaiting them or have other 

 assured means of support, preference being given first to 

 married men and then to the relative needs of industries, 

 with care to ensure so far as possible the discharge of 

 farmers in time for the opening of spring work upon the 

 land. 



(d) That general demobilization should be gradual, aiming at 

 the discharge of men only as it is found possible to 

 secure steady employment. 



(e) It is highly desirable that if physically fit discharged men 



should endeavor to return to their former occupation, 

 employers should be urged to reinstate such men in their 

 former positions wherever possible. 



(/) That vocational training should be confined to those who 

 while in the service have become unfitted for their former 

 occupation. 



(g) That provision should be made for insurance at the 

 public expense of unpensioned men who have become 

 undesirable insurance risks while in the service. 



(ft) That facilities should be provided at the public expense 

 that will enable returned soldiers to settle upon farming 

 land when by training or experience they are qualified to 

 do so. 



(6) We recognize the very serious problem confront- 

 ing labor in urban industry resulting from the cessa- 

 tion of war; and we urge that every means, economic- 

 ally feasible and practicable, should be used by 

 federal, provincial and municipal authorities in re- 

 lieving unemployment in the cities and towns; and 

 further recommend the adoption of the principle of 

 co-operation as the guiding spirit in the future rela- 

 tions between employer and employee between capital 

 and labor. 



(7) Land settlement scheme based on a regulating 

 influence in the selling price of land. Owners of idle 

 areas should be obliged to file a selling price on their 

 lands, that price also to be regarded as an assessable 

 value for purposes of taxation.
