MADDEST OF SCHEMES
DEVELOPING DOMINIONS
LANSBURY'S CRITICISM
LONDON, 6th January,
'.'The maddest scheme ever evolved," was how Mr. G. Lansbury (First Commissioner of Works) described Lord Beaverbrook's and Lord Eotliermere's Empire economic policies, when speaking at the East End. Mr. Lansbury said that they were both worried about public expenditure. The Government's greatest crime, according to Lord Eothermcre, was the increased expenditure on social services. "He objects to raising the school age, and unemployment payments, but British history has proved that expenditure on social services waa the best insurance against revolution. Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Eothermero desire to develop the Dominions, forgetting that Dominions like Australia and Canada desire to develop their own secondary industries, instead of buying British manufactures and sending food in return."
