MANY HOPEFUL SIGNS
THE OUTLOOK IN BRITAIN PRIME. MINISTER'S OPTIMISM (British Official Wireless.) (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, September 23. (Received Sept. 25, at 5.5 p.m.) The Prime Minister (Mr Ramsay MacDonald) appealed for continued unity and support of the National Government at a public meeting at Kilmarnock. He claimed that the strong position of Great Britain, both financially and industrially, was the result of the Government's work during a period of extreme difficulty. He pointed to the rise which was taking place in wholesale prices, describing this as one of the most scientific ways of increasing both the demand for labour and the wages given to labour, and he pointed out that meanwhile purchasing power had also been maintained. Trade was showing many hopeful signs, and British currency had earned the confidence and respect of the world. There had also been a fall in unemployment of nearly 500,000 since the beginning of the year. He said the Government was working to increase world consumption and to secure by various means a proper share for Britain of that increase.
