WORK AT AVONDALE
Sir,— When Mr. D. B. Russell announced, in the columns of The Sun, that he had presented to the Prime Minister a scheme for the relief of unemployment to the tune of 1,000 men, I laid a little wager with myself that it would be ignored. Now lam beginning to realise with bitter satisfaction that I was right. It is true that Budget affairs have been •occupying the attention of Cabinet in the last week or so, but Sir Joseph Ward has had plenty of time to indicate his attitude toward unemployment relief on the lines of Mr. Russell’s scheme. Can we not hustle this relief proposal from this end and compel ar apathetic Government at least to give it full consideration? I suggest that a committee be formed consisting of Avondale representatives and interested local body men. Then a united representation could be made. Mr. Russell’s scheme is too good to be forgotten bv procrastination. Moreover, men are waiting for work— and food. STEP LIVELY.
