INSURANCE
NATIONAL PROPOSAL CRITICISED.
HOW IT AFFECTS FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.
(Received Last Night, 9.15 o'clock.)
LONDON, May 15
The Chairman at a general meeting of the National Deposit Friendly Society regretted that national insurance as proposed in Mr Lloyd-George's Bill was rot voluntary. He doubted whether the Bill would be a panacea for sickness and poverty, as the Hon. D. Lloyd-George suggested. Mr Davis, in his presidential address at the Southern Conference of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, said he saw in the Bill a possibility of interference which might mean the undoing of centuries of work. If the Friendly Societies were safe-guarcWl, the Oddfellows would . support Mr Lloyd-George. The Council of the Social Democratic Party hove resolved that while supporting the principle of national insurance, Mr Lloyd-George's scheme would make.the working class bear tho burden or ameliorating some of tho* worst results of the capitalistic system, instead of saddling the cost on the master class. The unemployrront clauses were also inadequate.
