HELPING DISTRESSED INDUSTRIES
♦ BRITISH GOVERNMENT PLAN (mitrisn official wireless.) RUGBY, November 15. The Government's proposals for the relief of distressed areas, which were recently investigated by two commissioners, include measures for assisting the former industries of these areas which have undergone severe setbacks. The two commissioners, who are giving their services free, are Mr Percy Stewart, a well-known business man who has always taken a great interest in the problems of unemployment, and Sir Arthur Rose, who recently carried out an investigation in Scotland for the Government and has had wide administrative experience. Later it. was announced by Mr Oliver Stanley (Minister for Labour) that arrangements have been made for local boards in the depressed districts to advance money on reasonable claims to distressed industries. During the cleaning-up debate, during which Opposition criticism was directed to the proposals on the ground that the scheme was inadequate, Mr Stanley said it was a great experiment which might succeed or might fail, but he believed it would succeed.
