DISTRESSING PROBLEM.
-Prcss Asflsoiatioa-
THE GENERAL PERPLEXED.
[(Oabls-
— Oopyritht.)
Received Sunday 11 p.m. LONDON, March 12. "The numbers of young people who are unemployed is the most perplexing and most challenging problem to-day. It is with me night and day. I am not such afool as.to think that emigration will provide a complete remedy, but when I think of the vacant land's and opportunities in the Dominions I feel that the Empire must be- going a little mad not to make use of these workless youngsters." This striking passage is contained in a message by GenerM Booth on his seventyeighth birthday. ♦ He concludes: "Muph as I detest birth control as it is ordinarily understood — which is merely the quintessence of selfishness — I sometimes wonder whether it would not be preferable to tbfese crowds of 3roung unemployed men."
