UNEMPLOYMENT
POLICY OF GOVERNMENT
PROVISION FOR URGENT CASES
A brief statement concerning the Government's policy with respect to unemployment was made by the Ministr of Public Works (Hou. E. A. Ransom) in reply to an inquiry by a “Dominion” reporter yesterday. The Minister explained that provision was being made to meet all urgent cases of unemployment as they arose, and that it was proposed to enter into a deflate policy as soon as possible after the "holiday period. "The speeding up of the railway works, as announced, will absorb quite a large i .mber of the men seeking employment,” the Minister added. "Provision is being made for this at once.”
The Minister hinted that later on consideration would probably be given to the possibility of placing men, in groups, on the breaking in of some of the poorer lands of New Zealand. It was a subject in which lie had always been interested, and he intended when opportunity offered, to again go fully into it.
