Ham- mond Tells the Whig What the Sal- if vation Army Proposes. The Whig had an interview with Colonel Hammond, inspector of so- clal work throughout the world for the Salvation Army. The colonel is at present on a visit to Canada in connection with the Salvation Army's part in the proposed Imperial scheme for insuring the men who have been fighting the Empire's battles on land and sea against unemployment 'on their return from the war. Col. Ham- mond said that he was following up ing ries essential to these "after e war' proposals, instituted by fommissioner Lamb in January last, when he visited Canada and consult- led with leading statesmen and com- mercial and industrial authorities on the subject. l. The proposals advocated by the Salvation Army to ada) with this question are those urged by General | Booth in an interview recently given {to a representative of one of the | great London dailies. | + In General Booth's opinion the! | first thing that should be done is to! {set up some central authority, ade- | quately equipped, for inviting, ob-| | taining, and considering plans and | | proposals from all parts of the Em- | | pire. i In the next place, the General pro- | | poses that this board, which it is | proposed. to. constitute; -shall--be au-|- {thorized to assist, either by grant | { outright or by loans, any approved | scheme put forward by Dominion | | Governments, or local authorities, or | | any substantial, responsible societies | | or individuals. { | | Thirdly, a grant of £10, 000,000, or| | some adequate sum from the war [fund should be made straight out to | | enable the Board to meet the difficul- | | ties by "better permanent distri- | bution of unemployed labor Proceeding, Colonel Humiind] said: It is General Booth's opinion | | that it should be clearly recognized | | that every man who has served with | | the colors would have a claim on the | | State for provision of some kind of | | employment, should he be unable to | resume. hig old occupation or find | The Board would | take" sympathetic interest in home | needs, but it would soon find these met by the operations of the normal influence of supply and demand.
