Legion Chief Urges Scientific Study of War Veterans’ Unemployment
Brigadier General Alex Ross of the Canadian Legion told the Hyndman commission that the inquiry into ex service unemployment should be scientific and directed by government and veterans. He stressed veterans seek no money, only informed aid, and warned that many disabled ex servicemen face long term job barriers even as normal conditions return. He cited 1934 data showing 77 855 disability pensioners with many under 60 classed as permanently unemployable, and urged federal machinery to distribute relief fairly without politics.

A provincial survey party of 40 is mapping a 70 000 acre musk rat ranching area between The Pas and Cedar Lake in northern Manitoba.
