BUILDING SUBSIDIES.
POLICY TO CONTINUE. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Aug. 20. The Minister of Employment (Hon. S. G. Smith) was approached to-day by a" deputation ol unemployed, who complained about the expenditure of the Unemployment Board’s funds on building subsidies to wealthy firms. The deputy-chairman of the board (Mr W. Bromley) replied that as long as the board could spend £1 to get £lO worth of employment for workless men it would continue its policy, despite criticism. In the conviction that it was saving the unemployed from the consequences of their own folly he made no apology for the Prudential Assurance and Southland Frozen Meat subsidies, because he knew no apology was necessary.
