FARM COLONIES FOR UNEMPLOYABLE.
The Reform candidate for Auckland East (Mrs. C. E. Maguire) made some suggestions recently with regard to unemployment, which, she said, was perhaps the biggest problem they had to face. She had three schemes, which, if adopted, would wipe out uiiemplciyment. First, there was land settlement. There were thousands of acres that could be opened and settled. She would like to see the unemployed making a success on the land, and each one owning his little motor-car. The candidate advocated a scheme of national insiiranco in which the State, employers, and employees should participate. A voice: "What is going to keep us alive in the meantime?" Mrs. Maguire: "You Will be kept alive. You look all right." Mrs. Maguire suggested a scheme for' a class of men which she described as " unemployables "-^-meft who had never been taught to work. Farm colonies should be established for them, and they should be taught to work, and afterwards assisted to become successful settlers.
