CANADA CONSIDERS LAND
X'ROISLKMS
lif forts by the Canadian Govern*
xuc-iit to put returned soldiers tacit
ou the la"d h^ve been highly sue
cessiul as yet because go little de
sirable iaa<i is owned by; the Gov
ernment. Arrangements wei q made
some time ago whereby soldierg
might have first r'ght to Crown
lands, and might he loaned ais much
ag $-,5yu to assist them in build
ins up productive farms, but the
character of the laud available lias
not attracted the men.
Large unused tracts, however,
are held out of use by. railroads and
laud companies. rl here is a Pi*>
nouueed laud hunger cn the part
returned soldiers, both in Kngland
ami in Canada, according to word
fiom those countries, and' i£ these
vreat fertile tracts can be brought
into use it ig expected that much
will accomplished toward pro
moting the greatly increased food
production that is desired after the
war.
Various means have been suggest
ed for restoring these tracts to the
puolic domain. The present ownerfl,
naturally, would- like to have them
purchasod outright at present high
prices. One means suggested is a
requirement ;hat all unused land be
Drought under cultivation within a
certain term of yeans. Thia mea
sure, it is predicted, would force
speculators to put their land to use
or to sell it back to the Dominion
at a reasonale price, not at the al
leged artificial figures Prevailing
today.
