WORK AND SUSTENANCE.
Sir, —I am in thorough agreement with "Single Unemployed Suburbanite," I think his ideas are very reasonable and can only hope that the Government will think so, too. This suspense is killing. Now the Government has raised the rates of the unemployment tax 400 per cent., it is not too much, I hope, to ask for 25s and no stand-down week for the single man, married men, £2 5s and 5s per child. No one would dream of staying on relief if they could get a better billet. Could not a body of expert inquiry officers decide whether a case is fit for sustenance allowance without work ? Mast of us would prefer suitablo work. There are only a few cases of elderly, incapacitated manual workers who could do no other kind of work, who would require cash payments. Sufferer.
