AUCKLAND, This Day.
"We have a large residue of men who as a result of bad times have never been strong and have never done hard, skilled labour. If employers will not take these men we, the Government, must create some work that will absorb them," said the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) in reply to a deputation from the Manurewa Town Board today.
The deputation sought endorsement of the board's application to the Labour Department for reduction, if necessary, in the number of unemployed men that had to be engaged weekly in connection with its water supply scheme in order to obtain a subsidy.
The Minister assured the deputation that he would give every possible help and would discuss the .matter with the Minister of Labour.
