NATIONAL COUNCIL
WOMAN DELEGATES ENTERTAINED:
REMARKS ON UNEMPLOYMENT,
WELLINGTON, March 28
The delegates to the Women’s National Cohuon were entertained this morning to tea by thq Mayoress, (Mrs. Hislop), and accorded a civic reception at noon by the Mayer. “Possibly,” said- Mr. Hislop, ,“one,,of the- subjects to be discussed will be that of unemployment, and I would suggest that it is necessary that the public should guard against over emphasis and against becoming obsessed with the problem, and seeing only, a comparatively, large number of unemployed and forgetting the much larger number of employed. A .proper perfpective must be retained.”
People came to him so obsessed with the problem, he said, that they were ready to suggest all sorts of measures, which, on investigation, were shown to he valueless,: and would lead to a vop'e oUte of afiVv'rs blim jbefore. He quoted figures to show the position wag not worse than last year, and he did not anticipate, it would be worse this winter than last. • ,
