UNEMPLOYED AT HOME.

“ DON’T WANT WORK.” A LONDON MAN’S OPINION. “Conditions arc very unstable at Home.,” remarked .Mr A. J. Evans, of Londo.ii, to a Wellington “Dominion” representative on Tuesday. “Great Britain.,” he said, “is still suffering, conpi.derably from the general strike of 1926. Strikes apjcl lock-outs are doing a great deal of harm to the country.” Mr. Evans stated hat as far as his own business is concerned —he is a wine merchant—it wa,s hard hit by the Budget of 1927, and had not yet recovered from the effects of it. It was stated by Mr. Evans that Great Britain was steadily recovering ■from the depression which ihad followed iiij the waike of the Great War, but that it might be a long time before the ; unemployment problem became negligible. Jt. «eemed a very difficult one to solve ; in fac.t, there seemed to. him at present ao be no. solution. “A great many of the unemployed we have gqt,” said Mr Evans, "I am afraid are unemployable. They don’t like work, they won’t, work, and never will work. The drift from the country to the town's is increasing the difficulty c;f unemployment at Home.”
