LEAGUE EXPENDITURE
CRY FOR MORE ECONOMY LABOUR OFFICE BUDGET (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) Reed. noon. GENEVA, Friday. When the budget of the International Labour Office came up an Australian delegate raised a laugh by remarking that he had been told that M.. Albert Thomas, Director of the Secretariat, was the most fearsome man in the League, but his looks rather suggested that he made this up in sympathy and simple-mindedness. This was Australia’s only chance to raise her voice on the Labour Office budget, in which all new expenditure should be scrutinised just the same as in other League activities. The Australian Governments were facing deficits, and while sympathising with the aims and objecs of the League, they felt it should emulate the sacrifices Australia was making for the sake of. economy, even in national development work.
It was time for keeping a*l expenditure within reasonable limits.
