MINERS IN BRITAIN.
Situation Unprecedented In Living Memory. RELEBF AND MIGRATION. (Australian Press Awn.—United Serrlee.) (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, December 6. "The situation in the mining areas of Britain is unparalleled in living memory," sayg Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Minister of Health, in a letter to the Conference of Mayors, which is discussing the allocation of the Lord Mayor's relief fund. The Minister added: "A salient feature of the situation is that the mining industry is not likely to re-employ a large proportion of the workleas. Their unemployment must therefore be regarded as permanent. The ultimate solution consists in migration, from the devastated areas elsewhere. It is the Government's policy to facilitate migration. "Every means in the interval/* Mr. Chamberlain adds, "must be . bridged through relief payments to prevent the unemployed, from sinking to irretrievable exhaustion and ruin."
