Excerpt from Labour, Finance, and the War: Being the Results of Inquiries, Arranged by the Section of Economic Science and Statistics of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, During the Years 1915 and 1916 The chapter on Land Settlement, for which we are indebted to Mr. Christopher Turnor, teems with wit and worth. His readiness to place his knowledge and experience before the Association merits a very special word of thanks. When the forces necessitated by the war are disbanded the country will have a unique opportunity for tackling the subject of land settlement. One landowner, at all events, has realised his responsibility, and it is to be hoped that the example set by the Duke Of Sutherland will be widely followed. The Government appears to be aware Of the need for action, but the Bill now before Parliament requires developing if a really satisfactory scheme is to result. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the nation that our countryside has been lamentably neglected. This has frequently been proclaimed, but never before has there been such a possibility for successfully coping with the repopulation of our rural districts. Thousands of men will at the moment of demobilisation be willing to enter upon the new career, and this moment must not be allowed to pass without the Offer being made. Such an opportunity is not likely to recur during this generation. There will be a demand for healthy living conditions, and though it may require much courage and more cash to comply with it, the findings Of our Currency Committee and the optimism of the Chancellor Of the Exchequer as to the effects Of the war on the national wealth Show that if the nation has the will, the means exist for carrying that will into effect.
