INTERMITTENT RELIEF.
THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM. STATEMENT BY BOARD. Electric Telegraph—Press Association WKLLINCTOX. This Day. In a lengthy statement, rep] y.i ng to the points of criticism of the Unemployment Board's finances, the Board states that although the total number of workers who failed to find employment, under normal conditions reached its peak for New Zealand during the past financial year the number to-day who are in receipt of intermittent relief only under scheme 5 or are on sustenance is tlie. lowest on record since April 19-14. In the majority of the cases the effect of the policy of a diversion to full time employment Hifis been a heavier direct drain on the fund than would have been the case if sustenance were paid. The majority of the men placed have been engaged in reprodetave work and have by their employment provided additional employment for others, thus preventing number of unemployed from reaching high limits which appeared inevitable, had any other course been taken.
