UNEMPLOYED IN BRITAIN.

BACK TO the LAND

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright, Lonflon, March 3. ri-Mr John Burns gave a sympathetic reply to a deputation which waited upon him urging the selection of unemployed with aptitude for agricultural work., training them and after a successful trial, settling them and their families for two years on small holdings connected with a Labour Oolqny.

Dr. Baton, of Nottingham, the originator of the deputation, suggested that a portion 'of the development fund should bo applied to the establishment of tb'e colony. Earl Uarringtoo considered that it was not important that the men selected should have agricultural experience. The adoption of the proposal would mean that those who were drifting into towns would be enabled to return to the country.
