UNEMPLOYMENT DONATIONS
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, April 30. • (Received May 3, at <10.20 a.m.) In closing the debate in the Commons on unemployment donations, the Parliamentary {Secretary for Labor (Mr Wardle) said the reports of abuses in the matter of the donations were greatly exaggerated, ami the Government were taking the necessary steps to check them. The present system of donations to civilians would end on November 24. The donations had proved an insurance against Bolshevism, and had been a profound relief to hundreds of thousands faced with the spectre of unemployment. [The missing name of the speaker who followed Sir Robert Homo’s defence of the donations in the account appearing yesterday was Mr Clynes (Lab.), former Pood Controller.]
