Received December 8, 10.0 a.m. RUGBY, Dec. 7. The President of the Board of Trade, Mr W. Graham, expressed the opinion to-day that the opening months of the New Year would see a steady, if slow, reduction in unemployment. Mr A. J. Cook, Mr Oliver Baldwin and fifteen other Labour members have issued a manifesto urging action to avert a nation-wide crisis.
They urge the vesting of wider powers in the Government, the creation of an emergency Cabinet of five Ministers without portfolios to execute a policy of creatin ga new balance between agriculture and industrial production, organising markets, controlling imports, and sheltering workers from sweating, dumping and _ fluctuating prices; also ensuring efficiency and a protective tariff, concluding Imperial and foreign trading agreements, reducing taxation, instituting slum clearance and rehousing, and using the unemployed for that work.
