BRITISH UNEMPLOYED.
AIR LANSBURY’S REFERENCE. Received February 15, 1.35 p.m. LONDON. Feb. 14. In the House of Commons, Air G. Lansbury, in moving Labour’s censure motion, said that, despite the Government’s optimism, there were now onethird more people who had been unemployed for over a year than in 1931. The figures for pauperism had risen from 369 per 10,000 of population in 1931 to 482, while outside the poor law and unemployment insurance there was increased unemployment of black-coated workers which added hundreds of thousands to the total. As there were actually 2,250,000 unemployed. there was 110 ground for the Government’s claim of victory over unemployment. The Government had failed to recognise that the present economic system had broken down. CENSURE AIO'HON LOST. Received February 15, 2.25 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 14. In the House of Commons, Labour’s censure motion was defeated by 374 votes to 6S.
