PRICE TEN CENTS
UNEMPLOYMENT
PROBLEM FIRST
TO BE SOLVED
DEMAND EMPLOYMENT BENE
FIT SHOULD BE MADE AT
ONCE AVAILABLE
LONDON, July 8, (JP)—'The first
crack of a whip over the govern
ment’s head came from James
Maxton’s so-called “group” of the
labor party. J. H. Thomas, super
visor of unemployment, in Prem
ier MacDonald’s cabinet, had sum
marized his plans for spending
$187,000,000 on roadbuilding and
other methods of reducing unem
ployment.
Winston Churchill had promised
co-opcration of the conservatives
in this task and Lloyd George ex
pressed his sympahty also, when
Maxtor, intervened.
He avowed his disappointment
with *he King’s speech and with
Thomas’ program, which he called
colorless. His minimum demand
was that unemployment benefit or
dole should be made available at
once.
Maxton and his followers have
already indicated their opposition
to Premier MacDonald by introduc
ing an amendment to the King’s
address which would reorganize the
industrial system by nationalizing
banks and the importation of food
staffs.
