SEDUCTION PREDICTED
EARLY IN NEW YEAR
(British Official Wireless.) (Received Bth December, 10 a.m.)] RUGBY, 7th December. The President of the Board of; Trade, Mr. William Graham, ex-, pressed the opinion last night that the opening months of the New Year. would see a steady, if slow, reduction, of unemployment.
Replying to criticism of the Government's decision to allow the Dyestuffs Act to lapse, thus removing the import duties on imported dyestuffs, he said that the textile indusries, employing from three-quarters of a million to a million people, compared with seven or eight thousand in the dye industry, had represented to the Government that the restrictive effects of the Act handicapped them. He was convinced that a policy of fiscal freedom was on the balance better and safer for a great exporting country.
