PUBLIC WORKS
THE GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE
For some reason the Government has declined, until'lately, to make itself responsible for the provision of tools and materials, without which lasting public works cannot possibly be undertaken, and the Dominion has been deprived of the return that it could reasonably have expected from the expenditure of a good many millions of money. Looking back over the last four or five years we can all realise now that the policy adopted was wrong. There can never be a simple solution of a large unemployment problem, but the New Zealand policy would have served if the recovery had come quickly. It has been clear for at least two yearajshat the absorption of the unemployjal is going to be a slow process, and we should, therefore, have been working out a more positive method of making employment. —Christchurch Times.
