UNEMPLOYMENT.
There are hundreds of men now looking for farms, and if they could be settled on the land they would not only make room for workers at present unemployed, but they would also themselves become employers of labour. ..'he vigorous prosecution of land settlement is the most obvious method of providing permanent employment for the workers, says the "Lyttelton Times," and in spite of the high prices ruling for land close to the railways there is no reason why the Government should call a halt in this direction. Cheviot was not in touch with the railway when it was acquired, and yet its purchase was abundantly justified. There is, under present conditions, no twentyfour hour solution of the unemployed problem, and the Government's only course is to push on the development of the country and the closer settlement of the land as rapidly as possible.
