THE UNEMPLOYED.
“GREATLY EXAGGERATED.” By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington. Last Night. Speaking in the House to-night, the Hon. C. J. Parr said the situation regarding unemployment in the Dominion had been greatly exaggerated. The total number of men registered as unemployed at the Government offices throughout the Dominion was 1351, and he was glad to say that the position was scarcely any worse than in normal years. He felt sure that a large number cf the men on the books were unemployablea. The Labor Party would have the country believe that a few hundred men out of work created a ■ problem sufficiently serious to justify an onslaught on the country’s reserve funds.
