UNEMPLOYMENT FINANCES
REPLY TO CRITICISM,
(Per Press Association.—Copyright.) WELLINGTON, This Day.
In a long statement made in reply to points of criticism of the Unemployment, Board’s finances, the. board states that although tbe torn 1 number of workers who failed to find employment under normal eonditlors reached its peak for New Zealand during the past financial year, the number today who are in receipt cf intermittent relief only, under Scheme or are on sustenance, is the lowest on record since April, 1933
In the majority of cases, the effect of the policy of a diversion to fulltime employment has been a heavier direct drain on the fund than would have been the case if sustenance were paid. The majority of men placed, in full-time employment, however, have been engaged in reproductive work, and have by their employment provided additional employment for others, thus preventing numbers of unemployed from reaching the high limit which appeared inevitable had any other course been taken.
