THE COMING SESSION
UNEMPLOYED RELIEF LEGISLATION TAKING SHAPE STATEMENT BY MR FORBES [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, June .19. When Parliament meets next week it will be asked to take into immediate consideration the whole question of unemployment. It appears to be likely that the first two days of the session, which are usually light ones from the working point of view, will be devoted to serious business. The Prime Minister said this afternoon that the Government were at pre sent engaged in drafting legislation dealing with tho unemployment situation for the earliest possible presentation to Parliament. The nature of the proposals has not yet been finally decided upon. Mr Forbes stated that it was not his intention to go ahead with any far reaching measures during the coming session, apart from those which were necessary to meet the present difficulties of the country. As ho already had announced, no attempt would be made to deal with banking legislation, as it was considered that the present time was not suitable for trying experiments.
