MR. LANG'S PROMISES
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE NEW SOUTH WALES ELECTION By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright SYDNEY, Sunday. In a speech at Lidcombe the Premier, Mr. J. T. Lang, said that if the Labour Party remained in power after the elections—and he was confident it would—the Government would institute a scheme of unemployment insurance to replace Government relief and charitable doles. The system of child endowment would be extended so as to include those parents who were now excluded on account of their skill, and the present allowance of five shillings a head would be increased. Much other industrial and social legislation was promised by the Premier, including provision for advances up to 90 per cent, of the cost for home building in the city or the country.—A. and N.Z.
