PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. LABOUR’S REMEDY FOE UNEMPLOYMENT. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT (Received Feb. 5, 2.10 p.m.) LONDON, Feb 4.. In the House of Commons, in moving an amendment to the Address-in'-Reply, Mr P. Snowden, in declaring that tlie legislative programme was not calculated to reduce the. unemployed 1 or to stimulate, industry, advocated public ownership of industry. He twitted the Ministry with its election assurance that it had a positive remedy' for unemployment, which had not decreased. Though profits had increased private interests had to give way' where communal interests were involved. Small pettifogging methods would never provide a positive remedy. All the measures in the King’s Speech would not. reduce the; unemployed by one. Any' scheme for organisation cf an electric supply should be under public ownership. There was no greater monument, to the failure of agriculture than the Ministry’s latest White Paper, in which it confessed that the landlord had become a more receiver of rents and a parasite mi the commun-ity—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Asen.
