THE PENSIONS SCHEME.
THRIFT DISCOURAGED. «- SUGGESTED POSTPONEMENTBy Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received July 7. 11 p.m.) London, July 7. In a letter to the newspapers, Sir Felix Schuster (the eminent banking authority), Six John St. Loe Strachey (editor of the Spectator), Professor A. V. Dicey (Vinerian Professor of English law), Mr. John Murray, and others, urge the postponement of the old age pensions scheme until the Royal Commission on the Poor Laws has presented its report. ; They declare that the Bill alters the position of friendly societies, discourages thrift, and introduces a new system of outdoor relief, thereby threatening to revive evils partially removed by the Poor Law reforms of 1834. -
