THE UNEMPLOYED.
The country between Poverty Bay alone could easily assimilate the total unemployed in the Dominion at the present time, but the hopeless ineptitude of the Government has
resulted in cue oultt oi the land being locked up settlement, says tha Gisborne "Times." Had Parliament been sitting some definite steps might have been taken for dealing with the present crisis, but the Premier virtually bullied Parliament into closing down, and having done so, has left upon his colleagues the herculean task of trying to pay the wage of thousands of ' worlcless men from a purse that ia well-nigh empty. The position is a deplorable one, and the only solution seems to be for local bodies to take up the matter in earnest: and in the best possible way endeavour to tide over the next few months.
