Notk.—The New Zealand Alliance is asking that j I provision be made for a sum sufficient to pay i ; wajjes to all bona Me, permanent employees, for I any period of unemployment up to three months' j following the coming into force of Prohibition. i | 25. Did the Board recommend payment of compensation j I in cash ? ; No. " The amounts to he paid by way of compensation need not necessarily be found in cash, but, the Board suggests, might be paid in Government securities bearing the same rate of interest and the j same currency as the war-loan debentures." j 26. Did the Board recommend a scheme for determining j the amounts of compensation to be paid ? ' No. But it stated that it " would be preparad, if ! requested so to do, to advise as to the form of con- ! I stitution and procedure of a tribunal suitable to determine the amounts of compensation to be paid." 27. Did the Board consider that Prohibition on payment ! . of compensation would be a good investment for j the Dominion ? j ' Yes. " The Board is satisfied that compensation \ \ based on the foregoing lines would be a sound invest- ! I ment for the State, and that the cost wpuld be ! i recouped by increased national efficiency." ! ! 28. What was the Board's final conclusion ? j " In conclusion the Board places on record that i whilst at first it looked into this matter from the , point of view of war conditions, yet as the enquiry proceeded it became apparent that in the interests of j National Efficiency the Board had to consider the j ! liquor question from the point of view of the efficiency of the State and the individual, both during the war and afterwards, and it has therefore submitted its ; ! recommendations so as to promote permanent national ; efficiency." ! ■ 29. Was the Report discussed in Parliament? Not at any length. ' 30. Has the Prime Minister made any statement regarding it? I Yes. That a poll would probably be taken on the 1 proposal of the National Efficiency Board shortly— perhaps before Christmas—and that the issue would be decided by a simple majority of those voting. j 81. Did the Minister for Finance agree with this view? Yes. | N.Z. Alliance Educational Series 4 lanksheaß'S limiieo, printers.
