UNEMPLOYMENT.
"We cannot argue that because there is unemployment therefore there is over-population. Germany has had .a very high birthrate since the war, and has not suffered from unemployment. We ourselves experienced a record breaking crisis of unemployment in 1879, but it was followed by a period, equally record breaking, of expansion and' of increasing prosperity. The true cause of our present trouble is that we as a manufacturing nation are dependent on the peaceful prosperity of our customers abroad. Unless we can make the world again a vast co-operative commonwealth of trade we shall not find it spacious enough or rich enough to demand from these islands the special services by which alone t'hey can sustained their teeming population/'—The Westminster Gazette on Sir William Beneridge's address to the British Association.
