THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Tun Subsidy Foil Ippknksb. “I am tired of the ‘fiddle-faddle’ of deparemental objectors and economic theorists in dealing with human flesh and blood, which everyone knows is deteriorating day by day before our verv eyes. Are we going to sit for ever like a lot of cowed sheep at the feet of people who teach us that to utilise the unemployment fund to subsidise work instead of idleness is a wrong principle? I think it is one of thu greatest crimes of this country in the last few years that we have become supine and blinded to the position. We go on year after year with the soothing svrup of the unemployment relief. It is impossible to do anything? There is nothing more demoralising than to have nothing to do. We lend our money to the Greeks to deal with their unemployment, hut we cannot do it for our own country. It is an extraordinary and amazing paradox; it is a tragedy.”—Sir Alfred Mond.
