"END OF RECOVERY NOT YET IN SIGHT"
♦ COMMENT ON DECLINE IN BRITISH UNEMPLOYMENT V (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.) RUGBY, May 4. Commenting on the reduction of 146,758 in the number of workless people in Britain, which is shown by the latest monthly return, the "Daily Telegraph" says: "April marks a distinct stage in the conquest of unemployment. It is when the 12 months' recovery is viewed as a whole thai the solid nature of the advance becomes manifest. "Coal is the most basit of all our industries. Since April, 1936, the increase in employment in the coal trade falls but little short of 100,000. Cotton is second and the engineering industry, the most sensitive to rearmament orders, is only fourth. "The plain truth is that a good April crowned a good 12 months and that the end of the recovery is not yet in sight."
