sort of assistance In the near future.

references were noted and they were ad
vised that ' they will be notified when

It was the first day tho Emergency

hopeful and fairly definite answer to the
mittee's arrangements with Director
Harte. ot the Department of Public
Health and Charities, had so far pro
gressed that the committee felt Itself In
a position to promise the men good news
before many days.

mended. For the most part they were
sea-raring men or others whose work
waa gone when the war paralysed shlp-
yins.

work and will be paid from the 350,000

"In the course of my Investigation,"
