RELIEF FOR UNEMPLOYED.
CHRISTCHURCH SCHEME.
INDUSTRIES AND MAIN ROADS
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION".] CHRISTCHURCH. Friday.
It was decided to advocate the adoption of two schemes, by which it is hoped to provide some relief for the unemployed of the city, at a meeting of the Citizens' Tinemployment Committee, to-day. The schemes are
(1) By placing New Zealand secondary industries on a sound economic basis. The immediate effect would be the relief of unemployment, this to be effected by a New Zealand campaign for the purchase of New Zealand goods, such campaign to he subsidised largely by the Government, and to have tho co operation of public bodies, institutions and business interests.
(2) That the Government be urged to raise a loan immediately upon the revenue of the annual income now being derived under motor and highways legislation and petrol taxation,. Toi* the purpose of expediting the construction of main arterial highways. This work, if put in hand and pushed on vigorously, would provide a solution of the unemployment problem for the next four to five year's.
