GOVERNMENT HARD PRESSED,

JOYNSON HICK'S VOTË OF NO CONFIDENCE

LIBERALS TO THE RESCUE.

A NARROW MAJORITY.

(Reuter's General Service.)

LONDON, May 29.

Mr. Ramsay Macdonald and not Mr. Shaw took charge of to-night's debate on unemployment when Sir W. Joynson Hick's reintroduced his motion for a reduction of Mr. Shaw's salary, this being the equivalent of a vote of no confidence in the Government's unemployment policy. It had been a day of intense, political excitertent with talk of a possibility of dissolution." Ministry supporters were urgently whipped up for the division,

Mr. Asquith presided over the meeting of the Liberal party in the afternoon at which discussion of tactics proved inconclusive showing that Liberals are still acutely divided on the question of support- ing the Government.

Sir Robert Horne opened the debate and declared that the country's patience was exhausted. The Government's record was one of hypocrisy and dismal failure. Mr. Macdonald's gaze was so fixed on the foreign horizon that he stumbled over his own doormat Opposition cheers).

MR. MĄCDONALD'S DEFENCE. Mr. Macdonald (greeted with Ministerial cheers) regretted Sir Robert Horne's tub thumping. He agreed that the opinion of the country was changing but it was mening against the Opposition and in favour of Labour. He concluded by declaring that Sir Joynson Hick's motion was a vote of censure and if passed he assured the opposia tion that he would do his best to meet them on the platforms of the country (prolonged Ministerial cheers.)

The last Government had left the present with bare cupboards for solution of the problem. He declared that unemployment schemes were inextri cably involved with the problem of local rating and Imperial taxation, The Government were proceeding on certain large arterial roads payable from central funds on which he hoped men would shortly be employed. He insisted that haste must not be unduly applied to intricate problems and dwelt on the importance of developing national schemes such as hydro-electric production and afforestation but preliminary investigations and the acquisition of necessary powers took time, He asserted that afforestation was bound up with the question of the land settlement scheme and ex- pressed the opinion that the Government ought to plant at least 30,000 acres annually.
