The Minister of Labour, Hon. G. J, Anderson, said he had been investigating the unemployment situation generally, and he hoped in the next few weeks to place certain recommendations before his colleagues for discussion. He was quite satisfied there was a large amount of work to be done in the country districts, which the country people were only too anxious to have done. His main difficulty was to place in positions the men who registered at the employment bureaux in the cities, the great majority of whom were not accustomed to country work.
