UNEMPLOYMENT.
DIVERSE VIEWS
(Our Special Correspondent)
WELLINGTON, May 6
Yesterday morning the “ Dominion ” told a very circumstantial story of an unemployment camp that aas being established, so it said, at Himitangi, near j the mouths of the Rangitikti and Manawatu rivers. Here some hundred men unable to find work elsewhere were to be engaged in tree planting on a section of the sand dunes which stretch along the coast in picturesque irregularity, almost without interruption, from Paekakariki to Patea. It was probable that as winter progressed and as more immigrants arrived the camp would be materially enlarged and its range of activities considerably broadened. The story seemed not at all incredible. Before he left- for London, Mr Massey had hinted at some such arrangement he had made for the haid months of the winter. After Jus departure Sir Francis Bell, his locum tenens, had talked of the need for making preparations against unemployment during the coming slack season. \\ hat could harmonise more completely with the Ministers’ suggestions than the camp the Reform organ described? NO SUCH THING.
