UNEMPLOYMENT ACT
A BENEFICIAL MEASURE MKK AN SOM'S STAT EM EN T [Per Press Association.] DANNEVIRKE, Nov. J 5. The Hon. E. A. Ransome informed a reporter that the Government was preparing a comprehensive statement for presentation to the public, of the provisions of the Unemployment Act. He was convinced that when the people thoroughly understood the provisions and intentions of the enactment, the opposition to it (he admitted that there was a good deal of opposition) would
largely disappearHe was convinced that the measure was going to be of great assistance in alleviating unemployment. Farmers would be able to secure moneys from the fund at a very low rate of interest for the purpose of carrying out extensive improvements with men at present unemployed. The Act. he was sure, was going to be a good thing for the taxpayer, because it would be a cheaper method of dealing with the situation than with the present costly system of relief works.
