INDUSTRY DEPRESSED
SHIPBUILDERS AT GLASGOW DISCHARGE WORKMEN VISITOR FROM SCOTLAND “Just the general debility of nations.” That is how Mr. Charles McCreath, of Glasgow, describes the present condition of industry in England and elsewhere. Ho arrived from Sydney by the Marama this morning and will tour New Zealand. Mr. McCreath. who was formerly a jeweller in Glasgow, stated that the lack of orders in the ship-building works on the Clyde, is accentuating the general depression. The Italians and the Japanese, who formerly had their ships built in Glasgow, are nowbuilding their own. Thousands of workmen in the shipyards are being paid off and are swelling the ranks of the unemployed. People arc not spending as they did and this has had its effect on business. The textile trade in Glasgow is not particularly healthy. In the opinion of Mr. McCreath the Labour Government is quite sound.
