UNEMPLOYMENT IN ENGLAND.
Alter three years' experience, the Central (Unemployed) Body for London have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to deal adequately with unemployment by local authorities. In their opinion, the question should in any future legislation be dealt with nationally. They would like to see created a State Department which would set up and organise national labour exchanges throughout the country. In addition to providing means for registering the unemployed, the exchanges would act as means for discovering where work existed, and for finding out as far ahead as possible when and where bad trade might be roming. One thing of which their experience has convinced the central body is that more technical education is desirable as a preparation for life. Boy labour, under present conditions, supplying as it does large numbers of unskilled and untrained labourers at the age of 18 to 20 years, is a difficulty which in their view must be met. They suggest that the Government should itsfelf give warning of approaching periods of dearth of employment.
