NATIONAL SCHEMES FOR UNEMPLOYED ARE PROPOSED. (Special to the “Star.”) LONDON, January 26. Wide-reaching schemes of financial reform and industrial development are set out in the Report of the Liberal Industrial Inquiry, which will be published to-morrow week. Designed to elucidate the administration of the nation’s finance, to promote economy, to relieve industry of its present disastrous burdens and thus make possible a great trade revival, to establish practicable schemes for the lessening of unemployment, to secure the further well-being of the workers, and. to create greater efficiency in public services and private concerns, the most striking recommendations of the Report—which covers every side of the industrial question, including land— A reform of the rating system. An alteration in the whole method of Budget presentment. The inauguration of national development schemes for the absorption of the unemployed. More security for the workers. The establishment of Consultative Works Councils. The securing of the Road Fund for its proper purposes. The Liberal Party’s industrial and economic policy, laid down in 1921, is adopted with additions.
