THE ONLY SOLUTION

PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT.

MR THOMAS’S. OPINION.,

(British .Official. .Wireless.) (United Press Association.)

(By Electric-Telegraph—Copyright.) \ . . RUGBY, July 27. (Received July 29, kt 5.5 p.m.) Mr J. H, Thomas (Minister in charge of the unemployment problem) was present at luncheon given at Olympia yesterday, when it was announced that £400,000 was being spent in extensions knd increased facilities in connection with next year’s British industries, fair. Mr Thomas said he had come to the conclusion that there was only one solution to the problem of unemployment, hud that-was to enable the goods that this country could- supply with the best brains and skill in the world to be at the disposal of the world. He had found that the British trade commissioners abroad were inadequate, and wc were handicapped in not having enough British representation abroad. He had decided that the handicap had to be removed. Business men must follow this up and send their'representatives to cooperate in the work which the Governfnent .was prepared to do.
