ECONOMY NOT WANTED
A member of the House of Commons recently asked the Prime Minister if he would initiate a national campaign to emphasise the injury caused to the State by unnecessary private economy by private individuals; and if he would take steps to make it widely known that it was the duty of everyone to find work for the unemployed out of tehir private resources wherever possible, and that such employment, by reducing unemployment insurance, reduced expenditure and made it possible to reduce taxation.
\Lr Baldwin, Lord President of the Council, who replied, said: " I do not think that the decision has arisen for a national campaign on the subject. I am glad, however, of an opportunity to reiterate what the Prime Minister has stated: that it is the imperative duty of private citizens and employers to maintain, so far as possible, the ordinary employment which they give to labour, and that wise and courageous expenditure by private citizens where their i ncomes will bear it should be regarded by them as an obligation which they must not avoid."
