BRITISH UNEMPLOYMENT.

GB APPLING WITH PROBLEM.

LOCAL BODIES TO ASSIST.

IMPERIAL TRADE ASPECT.

3j Teleprrapt—Press Association—Copyright. (Eecaived Jane 15. 10.25 p.ra.) LONDON. Ja-e IS. Important steps have been taken foreshadowing a, more vigorous national effort to reduce unemployment before the winter.

After an appeal by the Prime Minister, Mr. Mac Donald, a ccnferenca of municipal authorities at the Guildhall appointed a committee to co-operate with the Government in the speeding-up of relief schemes.

A similar conference is to be held at Edinburgh shortly. Speaking at the Guildhall gathering Mr. Mac Donald likened the present situation to that which existed after the Napoleonic wars, emphasising that the position was primarily due to the world financial crisis. He said nobody had contributed more to the solution cf the problem than Mr. J. H. Thomas, who new had been transferred to the post cf Secretary of State for the Dominions, in order to carry on precisely the work ha had done in recent months.

Mr. Thomas himself later told a deputation of manufacturers that the Government would enter the Imperial and Empire Economic Conferences, " ready for the fullest and frankest discussion of all methods cf encouraging Imperial trade."
