BRITAIN'S UNEMPLOYED.
FIiNDING A PANACEA. IS PROTECTION A CURE ? (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 11.30 a.nO LONDON, October 16. In view of the worsted inquiry, significance attaches to Earl Birkenhead's speech at the Constitutional Club. Referring to unemployment, Lord Birkenhead said there is not an hour when unemployment does not engage the faculties of the Government. The Conservatives advised their fellowcountrymen that rearrangement of economic theories was the only alleviation. When advice was rejected, it was unfair to ask the Government why it had not cured unemployment. Nevertheless there had been considerable progress in the application of the Safeguarding of Industries Act, and the Government proposed to continue the process. At the end of two or three years the Government hoped it would have accumulated a mass of information which would convince the nation that Joseph Chamberlain's course was wise and imperatively required by the country. It was necessary to protect English workingmen from competition and foreigners who were inadequately remunerated. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
