It cannot be too strongly insisted < upon that a substantial increase in the demand for local manufactures would ‘ be reflected in an expansion of work in ‘ 1 the factories and a proportionate dimitiution in unemployment. That is an argument which should appeal with particular force to every section of the public at the present time. The best form of relief for unemployment is not the provision of work to which those who have lost their situations are not accustomed. It is the encouragement of industry in such a way as will prevent men and women from being thrown out of employment and as will provide for the unemployed fresh work of the kind which they are qualified to undertake. The public should, in existing circumstances, perceive a peculiar value in the demonstration of the capacity of local industry to provide goods ih everyday use that will challenge comparison, in respect to quality and value, with the products of other countries.— 11 Otago Daily Times,’ 1
