THE DOLE SYSTEM
MR. NORWOOD REPLIES
"It is quite evident that the several correspondents commenting upon niy interview with 'The Post' have read into it something more than was intended to be conveyed by me," said Mi. C J. B. Norwood to-day, replying to criticism of his references to tho evils of the dole. "If was not my wish to comment in a destructive manner upon any great community service, and may I request the correspondents to re-read my statement. Therein it will be found that I stated that the doleis probably the most scientific method or dealing with unemployment which apparently, will bo fbi- ever with, us' 1 also commented favourably upon "the absence _of • begging .throughout Great Britain in contrast with my previous visits to that country; "My comments oh the evils of the dole system wore directed "solely at its operation in the .slum areas, and iv this regard Great Britain has a vevy serious problem, and I. adhere to all I have said. So far as the legitimate unemployed in Groat Britain are- concerned I should bo very sorry to comment adversely; on tho contrary, I believe that the legitimate British Unemployed are.as clean and wholesome aud deserving as the unemployed in any part of tho British Empire, and I regret it jf my statement conveyed any different suggestion-."
